The 17th annual Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Food & Wine Classic has its full 2026 menu lineup, and it’s a big one. Set for Friday, Nov. 20, and Saturday, Nov. 21, the two-night event will serve more than 50 unique dishes, following the dates we reported back in March.
The festival takes over the scenic causeway at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin with a street-party atmosphere, live entertainment, and more than 170 beverage selections. The hotel’s newest restaurant, Bourbon Steak by Celebrity Chef Michael Mina, returns for its second year on the lineup since opening at the resort in 2025, joined by Todd English’s bluezoo, Il Mulino, Amare, and Rosa Mexicano. Returning themed areas include the Beer Garden, For the Love of Florida, Chinatown, and the Bubble Lounge.
