News: Orlando's Magical Dining Month Begins August 24

If you love to explore new restaurants, or just enjoy getting a good deal, then this one’s for you!

Orlando Magical Dining, sponsored by Visit Orlando, is once again coming to restaurants all over Orlando — including some of your favorite spots in the Disney Area.

The event features 3-course, prix fixe meals for only $33 per person. A dollar from each meal goes to support ELEVATE Orlando, whose mission is to equip urban youth to graduate with a plan for the future.

While Magical Dining Month runs through September, for the second year in a row, restaurants will offer a preview week, so mark your calendars for August 24-September 30 to enjoy five full weeks of delicious eats.

There is an extensive list of participating restaurants — more than 70 — throughout the Greater Orlando Area. And among them, there are even a few Disney Area spots!

The line up of participating restaurants has changed a bit from last year, so let’s take a look!
