Have you heard? June 15 is National Lobster Day, and Disney parks offer you ample opportunity to celebrate. From the Grand Floridian Café’s lobster Eggs Benedict to Cove Bar’s lobster nachos, this versatile ingredient shows up in more than 25 different items across various Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort menus.
If you want to celebrate National Lobster Day at home, we’ve got a recipe and cooking demonstration that will prepare you to cook up a classic lobster dish courtesy of a recipe from Disneyland’s Harbour Galley: the lobster roll.
