Jiko, The Wave, The Turf Club, Boatwrights, and Olivia's Cafe are among the Disney operated participants, joined by Morimoto Asia, STK and Paddlefish from Disney Springs.

During Magical Dining Month, over 100 Orlando area restaurants will offer prix fixe 3 course dinners for $35. One dollar from each meal will benefit Freedom Ride and BASE Camp Children’s Cancer Foundation.

Whether you arrive at the restaurant as a walk-in guest or with advance reservations, just ask your server for the Visit Orlando's Magical Dining Month menu. No vouchers, coupons or flyers are needed.

The names may be the same, but the portion sizes are often not. Unsure what Disney will do, but I doubt you will get what is normally sold for $70 a head for $35.

CaptainAmericaJul 07, 2017

It's a defined menu but it's all items that are available from Jiko a la carte anyways. Regardless, you definitely DO NOT want to use dining plan credits for this even if they let you. $35 is an insane value for three courses at Jiko. Pay with cash.

aandmmagiccarpetrideJul 07, 2017

Does anyone know if they always do this (the Orlando Magical Dining itself...I know the Disney owned restaurants may change or not even participate) for the month of September? We always end up at WDW in October but I would love to try this one year. But as someone already mentioned everything is already planned and/or booked by now...too late to change dates now!

wdwmagicJul 06, 2017

Its a special menu, so I would not expect it to be in a anyway part of the DDP.

worldofsoundsJul 06, 2017

I actually have an ADR at Jiko in September and I'm curious as to how this factors into the DDP. The 3-course options look really good but I'll probably just stick with the main menu.

PorterRedkeyJul 06, 2017

First, I think this is awesome! Cheap (especially for Disney), quality meals at restaurants you might not be able to afford otherwise. Morimoto Asia's menu selection is very nice for $35. :happy: That said, I really can't take advantage of many of these since I had to plan 180 days in advance. :( Next year I would like a half-year notice, please!;)
