Disney’s Flavors of Florida features Cuban sandwiches, a margarita with black ant salt, exclusive beer and more

The summertime dining event Flavors of Florida returns to Disney Springs this month with a staggering number of new sweet and savory citrus items.

Nearly every restaurant, bar and snack spot at the entertainment complex has at least one new or returning favorite item — more than 40 locations and over six dozen new items. Don’t worry, Flavors of Florida runs through Aug. 11.

Like previous years, orange and citrus flavors are the stars of the event. But there are plenty of other Sunshine State-inspired options like four different Cuban sandwiches, locally caught seafood and craft brew exclusive to Disney Springs. Some of the more unique items include poutine with St. Augustine datil peppers, an Ybor City Cuban sandwich hot dog and a margarita made with black ant salt.
