Foodies, mark your calendars—because the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Food & Wine Classic is back for its 16th year, and 2025 is shaping up to be the most exciting edition yet! Taking place Friday, November 14, and Saturday, November 15, this two-night culinary celebration is set along the scenic causeway between the Swan and Dolphin Hotels, right in the heart of Walt Disney World Resort.
This year’s event features more than 45 unique dishes, over 170 beverage selections, and plenty of live entertainment, all in a lively street party-style atmosphere. But here’s the big news—nearly every dish on the 2025 menu is brand new, so even seasoned festival-goers will have something fresh to discover each night.
New Flavors, New Faces
Joining the stellar restaurant lineup this year is Bourbon Steak by Michael Mina, which opened in July and will make its Food & Wine Classic debut. It will share the spotlight with returning favorites like Todd English’s bluezoo, Il Mulino, Amare, and Rosa Mexicano. Popular themed areas are also back, including Beer Garden, For the Love of Florida, Chinatown, and the ever-bubbly Bubble Lounge.
Menu Highlights You Won’t Want to Miss
From creative small bites to elevated global flavors, the 2025 menu is packed with tempting options. Here’s just a taste:
