NEWS: Foodie Guide to Women’s History Month at Disney World

March 1, 2023 marks the start of Women’s History Month, and Disney World is honoring the women who have made history, and those who are making history today, with a delicious lineup of special food offerings including creations from Disney’s top female chefs, local women owned business, and dishes inspired by many of Disney’s female characters.

Full details, menus, and some mouth watering photos below.

 

Here are all the details from Disney Cast Member Nicole Cantore:

Happy (almost) Women’s History Month! Here at Disney Parks, we are surrounded by talented women chefs, mixologists, pastry chefs, and more creating culinary works of art for you to enjoy daily. I, for one, am always amazed by the talent of these individuals and love to see what they bring to the plate and the glass.

Throughout the entire year there are plenty of ways to enjoy flavors expertly crafted across Disney Parks – the bites are truly endless! This year, for Women’s History Month, I’ve put together all the tasty ways you can “Celebrate HER story” at Walt Disney World Resort with dishes inspired by some of your favorite women characters, like the How Far I’ll Go Haupia Pie inspired by Moana, and whipped up by some of the women and culinary masterminds at Disney Parks, like the Tropical Paradise Cheesecake created by Chef Assistant Yaneth at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort and the Coconut Flan developed by Chef Assistant Meg at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort.

I am honored to share with you these incredible eats and sips and look forward to celebrating Women’s History Month the best way I know how – through flavors! Now, let’s take a peek at the Foodie Guide and learn about some of the women behind the dishes who brought these can’t-miss creations to life.
