Once again, if you’re planning to visit Walt Disney World during the month of September, you can take advantage of Orlando Magical Dining Month! And this year, the discounts actually start six days early during a brand-new Preview Week!
Mark your calendars for August 25 — September 30. During that time, guests can enjoy prix-fixe menus at more than 75 Orlando Area Restaurants — including a few at Disney-area spots!
Dinners at all of the restaurants will feature three courses from a set menu for $33. And even better — $1 from each dinner will go to benefit the Foundation for Foster Children!
If you’re Disney-bound during this time and would like to take advantage of the savings while dining on property, check out the offerings from these participating restaurants!
Il Mulino
, located at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin, offers some of the best Italian fare that we’ve enjoyed in Walt Disney World. Check out a review of our recent visit!
La Luce by Donna Scala
You’ll find La Luce by Donna Scala at Hilton Bonnet Creek Resort. The menu features inventive, market-fresh dishes with an Italian flair. And you’ve gotta try the Butterscotch Pudding!
Todd English’s bluezoo
Incredibly inventive dishes which push the envelope and are always on trend — that’s what you’ll enjoy in this sleek restaurant, which is located at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin. bluezoo is a great place to unwind for cocktails and small plates, too! (See our recent review here.)
For more details and a full list of participating restaurants and their menus are available online at Visit Orlando’s Magical Dining Month.
Eat well, do good — it’s the best of both of both worlds!

Essie says
I would def try the Blue Zoo, although Bonnet Creek also sounds very good.
Rebecca Elliott says
Holy moly! All look delicious! And that butterscotch pudding! I die. One day I’ll make my way down there and give each venue a shot. Do they rotate them every year?
Gigi says
We will be at Disney from 9/18 – 9/23 and were planning to eat at Il Mulino anyway, so this might be a good option! Two questions: Do you have to specifically request the Magical Dining menu or will it automatically be offered? Are the main course options regular-size or half-portions?
AJ says
Essie — We’ve enjoyed both, so I think you’d be happy either way!
Rebecca — We haven’t seen much rotation. These three restaurants have participated in recent years.
Gigi — Definitely! Yes, you should let your server know that you’d like the Magical Dining Menu when you’re seating. Tax and Gratuity are not included. You should also still make a reservation, as sometimes, restaurants fill up quickly with this offer. The menus are not billed as half portions or tastings, so they should be full portions.
Laura says
Just wondering if they will still honor the TiW discount at Il Mulino and Bluezoo with these special menus? I figure no since it’s a discount already? Thanks!
Jason says
Was anyone able to clarify if the Tables in Wonderland discount can still be used?
Gigi says
Was just at Il Mulino on Monday night. Ate at the bar, got the Magical Dining menu and was able to use TiW. We also got the Parmigiano Reggiano for 2 appetizer – menu price is listed as $8 but we were charged $10. We didn’t say anything since we got our TiW discount, but just wanted to give everyone a heads up.
Jason says
Just to report back, was not able to use TiW for Magical Dining menu at Bluezoo. I will say, given the value already, this seemed more than fair.
