The calendar is the story
Visit Orlando’s Magical Dining® presented by Orlando Health is in its 21st year — and the clock is loud. Official copy on magicaldining.com says the program runs Aug. 14 – Sep. 30, 2026, and the homepage is already in last-call mode: time is running out.
The deal is simple enough to text your group chat: pick a participating restaurant, order the Magical Dining three-course menu (appetizer, entrée, dessert), pay $40 or $60 per person before tax and tip. No voucher required — ask for the Magical Dining menu when you sit. Other coupons and discounts do not stack.
Play it Orange County first
The directory covers a wider Central Florida map. For OCH, filter toward Orange County addresses — Winter Park, downtown / Mills corridor, Lake Nona, Winter Garden, Sand Lake / I-Drive, and the resort-adjacent OC zip codes — before you chase a Seminole or Osceola pin just for the logo.
Early reservations still matter on weekend nights even this late. Most restaurant pages on the official Restaurants & Menus directory link straight to OpenTable or a book button; if not, call the venue.
Tip like you mean it
Official FAQ: tip based on the total meal value, and tax/gratuity are not included. Do not split one prix-fixe between two people — the program is per person. Dietary filters (vegetarian / vegan / gluten-free) exist on the directory; use them instead of guessing.
Through Visit Orlando, participating restaurants donate a portion of each Magical Dining dinner to pre-selected local nonprofits. Nice bonus — not the reason you should wait until Sep. 30 and lose the table.
Why We’re Hyped
A real, time-boxed deal across half the county’s dinner map is rare inventory for OCH’s Deals lane — and “ends next Wednesday” is the kind of deadline readers actually act on.
