With this rich foundation, our tourism association, VisitOrlando, promotes the area’s dining options – from food trucks to fine dining – to great effect. For example, in partnership with the city’s restaurants, they go all-out with Magical Dining. This fundraising event is similar to other cities’ restaurant weeks, featuring three-course, prix-fixe dinner menus, but Orlando’s version lasts for more than a month. This year, it will be August 26th through October 2nd.

It officially started July 14 and ends November 19.

My family and I have just returned from an 11 night holiday at LBV. The resort is fantastic and the location could not be better.
