Hey Disney lovers. The Disney Parks are something so special to so many of us. They hold everything from treasured childhood memories to future aspirations, and for me, they have always been a little reminder to switch off the pressures of everyday life, be present, and make those special moments with family and friends that stay with us long after the vacation is over.
Unfortunately, not all of life’s stressors can be left behind when we walk through those magical gates. While some of us are juggling bills, raising families, and navigating the usual chaos of everyday life, others are facing far more difficult challenges. If you have ever watched someone you love go through breast cancer, you already know just how life-altering that diagnosis can be. Thankfully, incredible progress continues to be made through research and support, but there is still so much work to do. With Breast Cancer Awareness Month coming up in October, Maria & Enzo’s Ristorante and Enzo’s Hideaway are getting a head start on supporting the cause with a specially curated September menu benefiting the Florida Breast Cancer Foundation. So, if you’re visiting Disney Springs this month, here’s what you can order while helping support an incredibly important cause.
Paccheri ($29)
A house-made pasta topped with cauliflower ragu, lemon olive oil, crushed pink peppercorns, and pecorino romano.
Pink Velvet ($20)
A Banfi Rosa Regale mixed with J.F. Hayden’s lychee liquor, cranberry lime juice and soda.
HoneyDew ($19)
A cocktail made from Absolut Citron, Midori, lemon juice, pineapple juice, cherry bitters, Fee Foam and pineapple leaf.
This is a cause that I try to make a donation to every year, so knowing that you can also show a little extra support simply by making a few select menu choices seems like a pretty fabulous opportunity to me. It’s an easy way to enjoy a meal at Disney Springs while helping contribute to a cause that means so much to so many families.
Plus, I have to say, there is absolutely nothing shy about how fabulous that Pink Velvet beverage sounds! You can sign me up for a few of those on a nice non-park day. Sometimes the best Disney Springs plans are the ones that involve good food, a pretty cocktail, and doing a little good along the way.
