Based on Go to Orlando, there’s a file 150 eating places taking part in Magical Eating Month, however 16 of these don’t present up on the listing but as a result of their menus aren’t reside. We’ll replace accordingly if any further Walt Disney World or Common Orlando spots are added.
One other spotlight that’s on-site adjoining is 4 Flamingos, A Richard Blais Florida Kitchen at Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress, which was lately acknowledged by the Michelin Information Florida. This Hyatt is technically not on-site at Walt Disney World, however it’s a stone’s throw from Disney Springs, and is considered one of our favourite motels in Central Florida.
There’s additionally Bosphorous Turkish Restaurant, which made our listing of Nice Eating places Close to Walt Disney World. Bosphorous has 4 areas in Central Florida–Winter Park, Winter Backyard, Dr. Phillips, and Lake Nona. Bosphorous’ must-eat dish is the signature, baked to-order Lavas hole bread. Be sure you add that if it’s not included on the Magical Eating Month menu!
Over at Common Orlando, we did the Kitchen and Amatista Cookhouse as a part of Magical Eating Month just a few years in the past. Each undoubtedly skew extra in the direction of the consolation meals facet of the spectrum, slightly than being tremendous eating or any form of elevated delicacies. We loved each, and left completely stuffed (and with leftovers). I’m in no rush to return, however would dine at both if we had been staying the night time at a type of resorts and wanted a spot to eat.
Since we’ve been posting about Go to Orlando’s Magical Eating Month again in 2017, the worth has elevated from $35 per individual to $37 final 12 months to $40. When you think about the hovering enter prices of labor and meals, that truly doesn’t appear too unhealthy. Most of those meals are offers even at $5 greater than they price 7 or so years in the past.
We’ve achieved Magical Eating Month offers a number of occasions, and have had nice success with the meals much more occasions than not. Generally the supply is illusory (by advantage of smaller parts or modified gadgets), however extra usually that isn’t the case. It is a probability for these eating places to get you within the door throughout what’s in any other case a sluggish time of 12 months, wow you, and hope you come back to pay full worth.
Of the Walt Disney World choices, our prime suggestions could be Jaleo (far and away) and Todd English’s bluezoo. We’re additionally followers of Amare and the Edison, however our common meals at each spots usually price lower than $40, so I’m undecided both would garner a advice for this explicit deal.
Be aware that you must order from the particular Magical Eating Month prix fixe menu to make the most of the $40 pricing, and that menu is not the usual menu at some areas. It often is at mid-tier eating places, however clearly not at tremendous eating locales which have dry-aged steaks or different costly specialty dishes.
Whereas the Walt Disney World lineup isn’t as formidable as previous years, there are nonetheless some good and new choices which have our curiosity. Specifically, the trio of Bonnet Creek choices (though possibly not Unreserved Meals Bazaar).
Additionally, we’ll take any excuse to revisit Jaleo, which is a private favourite–and all the time an important worth throughout Magical Eating Month. It’s additionally very conveniently positioned to the “Disney Goals That Soar” drone present viewing space, making for a simple ‘dinner and present’ date night time.
As talked about above, the 2024 Magical Eating Month lineup encompasses a record-shattering 150 eating places. That is the second consecutive 12 months of a slightly huge bump–the quantity I’ve for 2023 is “over 125,” which was up from 86 eating places in 2022. That is smart, as pent-up demand was solely beginning to sluggish in Fall 2022, however had totally fallen off by final 12 months.
I’m really considerably shocked that there aren’t much more Walt Disney World eating places on the listing for 2024. Pre-closure, extra eating places at Walt Disney World participated within the promotion, together with areas within the resorts (Flying Fish, Jiko, Olivia’s, Sanaa, and so forth) and others at Disney Springs (STK, Morimoto Asia, Wolfgang Puck, Terralina, Paddlefish, and so forth).
That hasn’t been the case for the previous few years, resulting from an evolving mixture of capability constraints, pent-up demand, staffing shortages. Now, it will appear, you may add the return of the Disney Eating Plan and Free Eating promo to that listing.
However, we’ve seen far much less eating demand within the final year-plus. Even in the course of the peak season, Advance Eating Reservation availability has loosened up. From what I’m seeing, that is persevering with even now that Free Eating is in full swing. However, I can perceive why some spots could be in “wait and see” mode to evaluate how a lot Free Eating strikes the needle. Maybe the 2025 Magical Eating Month can have extra taking part Walt Disney World eating places.
It’s no less than considerably telling that Summer season Home on the Lake is on the restaurant roster for the 2024 Magical Eating Month. That is noteworthy as a result of that is the most recent restaurant in all of Walt Disney World, so that you’d assume that followers and locals could be wanting to e-book it–desirous to strive one thing totally different.
On prime of that, it has a reasonably crowd-pleasing menu. Lastly, it has an important location for the “Disney Goals That Soar” drone present. If Summer season Home is already experiencing points that necessitate taking part on this low cost, that’s a little bit of a purple flag. Not an enormous one since it’s at Disney Springs and the eating scene may be very aggressive there, however no less than a modest one (possibly a yellow flag).
Finally, Magical Eating Month is obtainable as a result of this date vary is the low season and a sluggish time for the restaurant business at massive–it’s a great way to artificially enhance demand for eating places. To not get too speculative, however I ponder if extra eating places may abruptly discover themselves wanting an analogous bump in demand. Perhaps we’ll see extra added to the Magical Eating roster on the final minute?
After all, that’s a bit off subject right here. For now, we’ll get pleasure from Magical Eating Month and sit up for future (anticipated) eating offers and higher ADR availability at Walt Disney World. It’s unquestionably a golden age of eating places, with most of the areas at Disney Springs main the way in which. Hopefully you might have the prospect to strive one thing new that was beforehand unapproachable, price-wise!
