Almost everything is orange-flavored on the new Flavors of Florida menus at Disney Springs

Dozens of restaurants and bars will offer citrusy dishes and beverages for a limited time

Bright citrus and fresh, farm-to-table ingredients are the stars of this year’s Flavors of Florida menus at Disney Springs.

Dozens of places at the shopping and entertainment complex will have limited-time offerings as part of Flavors of Florida presented by Corkcicle — the summertime food and drink crawl celebrating iconic flavors and ingredients from the Sunshine State. 

The event kicks off on July 1 and runs through Aug. 13, with nearly every restaurant, bar and snack shop participating.

There’s a lot of orange and citrus flavors on the menu, but there’s also plenty of seafood and produce caught and grown locally. Here are all the new offerings this years — nearly four dozen items.
