The Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Food & Wine Classic returns in November a little more whole than it’s been the past couple of years.

The event, which takes place along the waterways and on the concourses and the causeway that connects the two resorts, will celebrate its 13th addition November 11 and 12 from 5:30 to 9 p.m. each day. It showcases the many celebrated restaurants that call the hotels home, including Shula’s Steak House, Todd English’s bluezoo, Il Mulino, Kimonos, and the new (and very good) Amare, among others. In addition, there will be wine, cocktail and beer stations. In fact, the beer garden that has been a favorite in the past will be returning this year.

Also back are the seminars and learning experiences that were put on hold for the past couple of events. You can learn about wine blending, craft cocktailing, making pasta, and other classes.

I finally broke down and visited the new White Castle that opened a few months ago in the Flamingos Crossing area near Walt Disney World. I intentionally waited until the initial hoopla waned a bit. When it first opened there were rumors of eight hour waits to get food. I will do a lot of things for you, Gentle Diner, but waiting that long for a miniature burger is not among them. Heck, I wouldn’t even wait eight hours to get into Victoria & Albert’s (which, by the way, recently reopened; I’ll have that review next week).

And besides, it isn’t like White Castle isn’t a known commodity. It’s popular for its tiny, square burgers that initially had a reputation of being so small and greasy that they just slid down one’s gullet, bringing the term slider into our lexicon.

It doesn’t take a lot to convince people to go to the Tap Room at Dubsdread. It’s one of the area’s most popular and most celebrated restaurants, known for its casual atmosphere that belies the high quality of its food.

But of course Visit Orlando’s Magical Dining offers an extra reason to visit the College Park mainstay, especially because the prime rib, which is usually offered only on weekends, is available daily during the promotion.
