Disney Eats: Foodie Guide to Holidays at Walt Disney World Resort 2023
by Nicole Cantore, Digital Integration Specialist, Global Food & Beverage
It’s the most wonderful time of the year and you know what that means … holiday goodies! One of the best parts of this season are the tasty delights and this year is no different. The culinary teams at Walt Disney World Resort have been hard at work making sure everyone gets a flavorful present all across property. And with the passion and creativity put to the plate this year, there’s no doubt all of these talented culinary experts are on the nice list.
No matter where you venture at the Resort, you’ll enter a winter wonderland of flavor with tasty bites and sips that will light up your taste buds. From the almost too cute to eat (almost) Mickey Winter Hat Dome Cake from Amorette’s Patisserie to holiday festivities like the O’ Ham N’ Cheese Trees at Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar, and even the sweet sip of the returning Gingerbread Martini, you will be unwrapping delights all holiday season long.
For those heading over to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party this year, take a peek at all the bites and sips available at Magic Kingdom Park, both during the day and exclusive to the event in the Foodie Guide. And for an added touch of sweetness, be sure to check out the gingerbread displays at various Disney Resort Hotels and EPCOT.
Do you hear that? I think it’s jingle bells, and that means it’s time to get to the Walt Disney World Resort Holidays Foodie Guide!
