In honor of the St. Patrick’s Day holiday this month, a number of restaurants at Disney Springs in Orlando, Florida have added specially themed items to their menu. Today, let’s explore those specialty food and drink offerings! But first, let’s talk a little about why Disney Springs is such a great place to visit on a Disney vacation.
About Disney Springs
Disney Springs is part of the Walt Disney World complex. But unlike the theme parks, you don’t need a ticket to enter. At Disney Springs, you’ll find a large number of stores, restaurants, and entertainment options. In fact, the area is so big that it’s split up into 4 different sections:
- Marketplace
- The Landing
- Town Center
- West Side
Disney Springs can provide a nice alternative to the theme parks. It’s also a great place to go on a day you don’t have tickets to Disney World, like at the beginning or end of your trip.
But back to the St. Patrick’s Day food! Let’s go over which restaurants have updated their menus with limited time holiday offerings, as well as where you can find each restaurant.
