Seek and Find Even More to do at Disney Springs
In between trying all the amazing food, guests can check out the Discover the Springs seek and find presented by The Polite Pig. With more than 1,200 acres of dining, shopping and entertainment venues to explore, there’s always something new to discover, and the seek and find is a fun way to discover some of the hidden gems at Disney Springs. Guests can pick up the free event guide at select locations… and when they complete the seek and find, they can turn in their completed maps for a special surprise!
New Menu Items to Wow Your Senses
Chefs at Disney Springs spent the past year creating so many unique appetizers, entrees and desserts that guests will definitely need more than one visit to enjoy them all. Keep an eye out for the upcoming foodie guide because we can say with the firmness of a proper meringue that guests’ appetites will definitely be satisfied.
A Second Chance to Enjoy Returning Favorites
One of the tastiest surprises from last year—the St. Augustine Datil Pepper Fritas—is back for a second round at The Daily Poutine! The crispy pork dish features a datil pepper sauce and Florida hearts of palm slaw. But the beer cheese crafted from Sunshine Stroll Orange Pilsner helps make it truly special. Sunshine Stroll was introduced during Flavors of Florida last year as a Disney Springs exclusive, and our chefs immediately went to work using it in various dishes like this one. Guests will be thrilled this dish is coming back alongside the other creations using the exclusive pilsner this year.
While guests are exploring Disney Springs Flavors of Florida, they can stop by Swirls on the Water for another returning treat—the Orange Bird Cone! This sublime dessert combines DOLE Whip® Orange in an orange cone, topped with sprinkles and a chocolate piece. It’s a delightfully satisfying sweet worthy of featuring the name of a favorite Disney character.
If there’s a flavor that comes from Florida—peppers, citrus fruit, cheeses and more—it will be at Flavors of Florida. Overall, this year’s event will have more than 90 menu items from 45+ Disney Springs restaurants! So, guests can start planning date nights, family outings and celebrations, and we will see them at Disney Springs this summer.
