Until August 11, 2024, Disney Springs is playing host to “Flavors of Florida,” with dozens of dishes and beverages at the Disney Springs restaurants and kiosks saluting some of the best local flavors the area has to offer – from seafood and citrus, to Key Lime creations, twists on Cuban sandwiches, and unique desserts.
To accompany the menu selections, Disney Springs is also offering a Culinary Series hosted by Kroger Delivery, where guests can attend free demonstrations from a variety of Disney chefs, highlighting some of the plates you can order during “Flavors of Florida” at the Disney Springs restaurants.
All the demonstrations take place at Waterview Park (near The BOATHOUSE), and pre-registration is required. Registration will be available via the Disney Springs Instagram page.
There are five demo days remaining in this summer’s series.
