I am SOOO excited that Visit Orlando’s Magical Dining has returned!! We are never lacking for things to do in Central Florida but now we can experience some of the BEST food that The City Beautiful has to offer from August 16th through September 30th, 2024!
You know I love a good social enterprise so I am always happy to support and be a part of local events that have a “give back” spin on them. Visit Orlando is celebrating 19 years of showcasing some of Orlando’s best cuisine while supporting local restaurants AND charities through Magical Dining! Win, Win for us foodies that love giving back!!
The chefs are ready and the tables are set. And we get to experience the wonders of Orlando’s acclaimed culinary scene with Visit Orlando’s Magical Dining- six full weeks and 45 delicious days where we can enjoy three-course, prix-fixe dinners at many of Orlando’s most popular restaurants, including MICHELIN Guide honorees!
The best part is that it is $40 or $60 per person plus tax and gratuity.
Plus, {my FAVE part about Magical Dining}
Through Visit Orlando, up to $2 from each meal served will benefit The Mustard Seed. Now, we can upgrade dinner and a movie to dinner and an overnight stay with Visit Orlando’s Magical Nights! This program features special offers from some of Orlando’s best resorts and hotels — including many that host one or more restaurants participating in Visit Orlando’s Magical Dining. The perfect weekend escape! Staycation, romantic weekend, weekend escape from reality, girls’ getaways, and stay-and-dine savings are perfect for making your nights out even more magical. But don’t delay: they recommend booking your stays now to ensure your preferred dates!
