Fall is officially delicious over at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin. From spooky cocktails to Thanksgiving feasts, to the return of the Food & Wine Classic, there’s a lot to love this season.
Halloween Spirits (the Drinkable Kind)
All October long, the restaurants and lounges are pouring specialty Halloween cocktails — a new one each week:
- 10/4 – 10/10: Fantasia – Three Olives Vodka, Chambord, and Mozart White Chocolate liqueur with honey blossom syrup and creamy oat milk, finished with a red honey rim. Sweet, velvety, vampire-worthy.
- 10/11 – 10/17: Blood Moon Lychee — Maestro Dobel Tequila with lychee juice, fresh lemon, and cherry syrup. Bright, tart, and hauntingly pretty.
- 10/18 – 10/24: Haunted Harvest — Three Olives Vodka and Prosecco with apple juice, caramel butter syrup, lime, and a touch of orgeat. Basically a crisp fall evening in a glass.
- 10/25 – 10/31: Gravedigger — Kraken Rum, crème de banana, Antica Vermouth, and Aperol. Their Halloween take on a classic Negroni — bold and spirit-forward.
You’ll find them at Bourbon Steak by Michael Mina, Todd English’s bluezoo, Phins Lounge, Amare, Kimonos, and more.
Weekly Costume Contests
Show off your Halloween spirit at the weekly costume contest inside the Dolphin’s Lagoon Games, Lanes & Eats — Saturday evenings October 3–24 at 5:00 PM. Bring your A-game, because prizes go to the best costumes.
Thanksgiving Without the Dishes
Garden Grove at the Swan is doing a full Thanksgiving buffet in its whimsical park setting, all the classics (roasted turkey, glazed ham) plus a few twists like seared grouper and made-to-order Mickey Waffles. Family-friendly, zero prep required.
Special Thanksgiving dishes are also popping up at four signature restaurants:
• Bourbon Steak (Dolphin): Slow-Roast Turkey Roulade, Turkey Pot Pie, Roasted Pumpkin Cheesecake
• Amare (Swan Reserve): Turkey Breast Milanese
• Il Mulino (Swan): Ballottina Di Tacchino
• Todd English’s bluezoo (Dolphin): Turkey Roulade
Fall Flavors All Season
Beyond the holidays, look for these hearty fall dishes:
• Hay-Smoked Tomahawk Steak with potato-crusted fondant potatoes and red wine demi at Bourbon Steak
• Harvest Salad with roasted acorn squash, crispy quinoa, pomegranate, and maple-goat cheese mousse at bluezoo
• Ossobuco with braised veal shank and creamy polenta at Il Mulino
