Magical Dining Month, sponsored by American Express, is one of the most eventful times in Orlando. Restaurants
from International Drive and beyond work with Visit Orlando to offer a three
course, prix fixe meal for $35. The meals, which require reservations, are delicious
and give every foodie the opportunity to sample fine cuisine at a deliciously
discounted price. Magical Dining is not only good for the wallet, but also good
for the soul. One dollar from every meal benefits
Freedom Ride & BASE Camp
Children’s Foundation.
Here on
International Drive, there are 25 restaurants bringing a vibrant culinary experience to Magical
Dining Month.
