Orlando’s popular dining season is back, and Rosen Hotels & Resorts is giving local food lovers and visitors five different reasons to make a dinner reservation.
For the 2026 edition of Visit Orlando’s Magical Dining, five restaurants across Rosen Shingle Creek, Rosen Centre and Rosen Plaza are offering specially curated three-course menus. This year’s event runs from August 14 through September 30, giving diners more than six weeks to experience some of Rosen’s best-known restaurants at a fixed price.
From prime rib and filet to seafood, Italian specialties and Caribbean-inspired dishes, the Rosen Hotels Magical Dining menus offer plenty of variety. Three restaurants are participating at the $40 price point, while two are offering $60 menus.
Here’s a closer look at what’s being served.
2026 Visit Orlando Magical Dining
Presented by Visit Orlando and Orlando Health, Visit Orlando’s Magical Dining gives diners an opportunity to enjoy three-course meals at participating Central Florida restaurants for either $40 or $60 per person.
The 2026 event runs August 14 through September 30.
There’s also a charitable component to the program. A portion of the proceeds will benefit OCA (Opportunity, Community, Ability), an organization that works to empower individuals with autism and other developmental differences.
Rosen Hotels & Resorts has a particularly long connection to the annual dining event. Everglades Restaurant at Rosen Centre holds the distinction of being the only Orlando-area restaurant to participate in Magical Dining every year since the program began.

Make Magical Dining an Orlando Staycation
One of the advantages of Rosen’s five participating restaurants is that they are located within three full-service Orlando hotels.
For 2026, Rosen Hotels & Resorts is also offering Magical Dining guests an opportunity to save 15% on the best available room rate when booking stays at Rosen Shingle Creek, Rosen Centre or Rosen Plaza during their Magical Dining ventures.
That opens the door to turning dinner into a quick Orlando staycation. Instead of driving home after dessert, guests can spend the evening at the resort and enjoy a little more time away.
For visitors already planning an Orlando vacation, Magical Dining can also be worked into the itinerary as an opportunity to experience one of the area’s resort restaurants at a special fixed price.

Which Rosen Magical Dining Restaurant Should You Choose?
With five participating restaurants, the choice really depends on the kind of evening you have in mind.
A Land Remembered is likely to appeal to steak and seafood lovers looking for a more upscale experience, while Cala Bella offers an Italian-focused menu at the $40 level. Everglades combines a long Magical Dining tradition with Florida-inspired cuisine, Harry’s Poolside offers a casual tropical setting, and Jack’s Place provides a classic steakhouse option along International Drive.
There’s also enough variety among the menus to justify more than one Magical Dining night before the event ends.
Reservations are highly recommended, particularly for popular evening times and weekends.
