Delivered by the leaders in the field, we are excited to present this comprehensive five-day symposium at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort in sunny, beautiful Florida. The in-depth lectures – geared toward diagnostic radiologists in clinical practice – packed with up-to-date approaches to diagnosis and treatment pathways. We have brought back the popular Emergency Radiology track and added a dedicated Ultrasound day featuring the latest information on ultrasound ranging from Ob/Gyn applications to applications in the GI and GU tracts. The sessions also include PET scanning for the practicing radiologist to help understand its role in clinical practice and especially Oncology today. Finally cutting edge topics like AI are discussed as they begin to have an impact on all of our clinical practices. All sessions also include ample time set aside for questions and answers, and for you to informally meet with the faculty. We promise you an unforgettable learning experience and look forward to having you join us.” – Elliot K. Fishman

Dining at Disney: A Culinary Adventure in the Magic Kingdom and Beyond
Dining at Disney is far more than just a meal—it’s an extension of the storytelling, immersion, and wonder that define the Disney experience. While you are exploring the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, the food offerings are as diverse and enchanting as the attractions themselves. From character breakfasts to fine dining with a view of Cinderella’s Castle, Disney transforms every bite into a moment of magic.
A Feast for Every Taste
Disney’s dining options cater to every palate and budget. Quick-service spots like Casey’s Corner at Magic Kingdom serve up classic American fare—think hot dogs and fries—perfect for a grab-and-go meal between rides. For something more substantial, table-service restaurants like Be Our Guest Restaurant offer a chance to dine inside the Beast’s enchanted castle, complete with French-inspired dishes like coq au vin or a perfectly seared steak. And for those seeking a splurge, signature dining experiences such as Victoria & Albert’s at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort deliver Michelin-worthy cuisine in an elegant, adults-only setting.
The parks also shine with themed snacks that double as Instagram-worthy treats. Pongu Pongu in Animal Kingdom’s Pandora serves the cult-favorite Dole Whip (a pineapple soft-serve delight), while Sleepy Hollow in Magic Kingdom offers Mickey-shaped waffles and ice cream bars that bring a playful twist to familiar favorites. Seasonal festivals, like the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, elevate the experience further with global flavors served in tapas-sized portions—ideal for sampling your way around the World Showcase, with stops at booths like Hawaii for kalua pork sliders or France for escargot croissants.
Characters and Atmosphere
What sets Disney dining apart is the atmosphere. Character meals—like breakfast at Chef Mickey’s at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, where Mickey and friends dance through the dining room—blend entertainment with all-you-can-eat buffets, delighting kids and adults alike. At EPCOT’s Akershus Royal Banquet Hall, you can dine with princesses in a medieval-inspired setting, while The Hollywood Brown Derby at Disney’s Hollywood Studios offers a taste of old Hollywood glamour with its famous Cobb salad. Over at Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant, you munch on burgers under the stars, surrounded by retro movie vibes.
The attention to detail is impeccable. In Pandora at Animal Kingdom, Satu’li Canteen serves “Na’vi-inspired” bowls with a sustainable twist, while Jungle Navigation Co. LTD Skipper Canteen in Magic Kingdom offers pun-filled menus and exotic flavors that nod to the nearby Jungle Cruise. At Disneyland, Blue Bayou Restaurant in New Orleans Square lets you dine by the glow of lantern-lit waters, right next to Pirates of the Caribbean. Even the smallest touches—like edible glitter on desserts at Amorette’s Patisserie or cocktails served in glowing souvenir cups at Oga’s Cantina in Galaxy’s Edge—tie into the storytelling.
Tips for the Perfect Disney Dining Experience
Reservations are key. Popular spots like Cinderella’s Royal Table in Magic Kingdom or Le Cellier Steakhouse in EPCOT can book up months in advance, so plan ahead using the My Disney Experience app or website, especially for character meals or signature dining. If you’re on the Disney Dining Plan (available at Walt Disney World), strategize your credits to maximize value—use them for pricier table-service meals at places like California Grill rather than snacks. For spontaneity, mobile ordering at quick-service locations like Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo in Galaxy’s Edge cuts down wait times, leaving more room for park adventures.
Dietary needs? Disney’s got you covered. Most menus, from Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn and Cafe to Narcoossee’s, offer vegan, gluten-free, and allergy-friendly options, and chefs are famously accommodating—just let them know when you book or arrive.
The Magic in Every Bite
Dining at Disney isn’t just about sustenance; it’s about creating memories. Whether you’re sipping a blue milk at Oga’s Cantina in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, toasting with a glass of wine at California Grill as fireworks light up the sky, or sharing a Mickey pretzel from The Lunching Pad with loved ones, the food weaves itself into the fabric of the Disney story. It’s a chance to slow down, savor the moment, and let the magic unfold—one delicious dish at a time.
