The Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort will debut a special series of weekly food and drink themed events this fall called “Sip, Savor and Stay Saturdays: A New Twist on the Food & Wine Classic Experience,” and it kicks off Saturday, September 19.
Walt Disney World may have cancelled this year’s Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party due to COVID-19, but they’re still planning to celebrate fall and Halloween with new decorations, food offerings, and even a bit of a rule change.
