Craving an adult dining experience at Walt Disney World? The Highway in the Sky Dine Around blends a perfect evening of delectable food, cocktails, and desserts! 

Dining Service:

This Disney Dining Event takes guest to the Contemporary, Polynesian, and Grand Floridian for a four-course dining experience like no other. Truth be told, anyone could hop onto the monorail and do this on their own; however, the benefit of doing it through Disney will guarantee you prime seating with no wait, a plethora of various foods & drinks, as well as a private balcony for firework viewing! 

Locations:

The tour begins at the Contemporary Resort’s “The Wave…of American Flavors”.                                  Course 1- Various appetizers and cocktails are served.

Course 3- cheese plates and champagne is served, follow by the main course.

Although I have never attended Highway in the Sky Dine Around, (click here for an awesome review by Disney Food Blog) it is definitely on my list of must tries! My husband and I love to treat ourselves to an “adult” dinner! Have you done this dining event before? If not, is it on your list to try? Drop us a comment below!
