Discover the Flavors of Florida: Previewing Disney Springs' Culinary Extravaganza Before it Returns for 2025
Ahead of the start of this year’s Disney Springs Flavors of Florida event, we had the chance to preview some of the delicious delights that visitors to the Walt Disney World shopping and dining district will be able to taste.
Flavors of Florida is back from June 27th to August 10th, 2025, turning Disney Springs into a lively culinary festival. With more than 40 participating venues, this event highlights a diverse selection of dishes made from locally sourced ingredients.
In the Flavors of Florida booklet, a Seek and Find activity not only encourages guests to explore Disney Springs but also offers the “history" of the area.
