We were invited to Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort to experience the new “A Taste of The Swan & Dolphin” event and we enjoyed our evening walking around trying unlimited samples of amazing food and beverage offerings. It was an entertaining, unforgettable, and mouthwatering experience.
The night featured unlimited food and drink tastings from 10 food stations, 50+ beverage options, live musical entertainment by Star Time and seating to accommodate each party at their own table.
The event took place indoors, in the resort’s spacious meetings area to provide ample area for controlled, safe social distancing.
Among the protocols implemented were: temperature check at entrance for all attendees, plexiglass barriers for all food service, all cast members wearing PPE, socially distanced reserved table for each group, masks required for all attendees except while seated and eating, touchless menus, and social distancing markers.
After a successful weekend and with strong interest from guests, the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort has added a second Food & Wine Classic: A Taste of the Swan & Dolphin on Saturday, Feb. 27 from 5:30-8 p.m.
