We're Telling You To Leave The Disney Bubble For These EXCLUSIVE Events!

If you’re visiting Disney World, you’ll never NOT have an answer to the question “Where should we eat?” That’s because you have a multitude of choices on Disney property that you might not think you should leave the Disney bubble when you visit.

Four Flamingos: A Richard Blais Florida Kitchen

However, if you’re willing to travel a little, you might want to visit Four Flamingos: A Richard Blais Florida Kitchen at the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress. After all, this celebrity chef-led Michelin-recommended restaurant has some big things planned for the summer!

Four Flamingos is inviting YOU to experience its restaurant in new ways this summer with activities that include everything from hands-on experiences, pickleball, and mixology, starting with the Guac It Out Challenge and Mixology Class on July 29th at 4 P.M. This class will give you a chance to mix up four signature margaritas while enjoying a live liquid nitrogen margarita demonstration presented by Chef Blais.
