RECIPE: We'll Be Making This Disney Dish ALL Winter Long

Disney is currently celebrating Hispanic & Latin American Heritage Month, and it’s been bringing us so many incredible snacks in the Disney parks.

Disney Springs celebrating Hispanic & Latin American Heritage Month

But that’s not all — you can celebrate at home with this new Disney recipe that could be found at Cinderella’s Royal Table earlier this month. Let’s learn how to make Creamy Plantain Soup!

This new Puerto Rican recipe was brought to the park by Assistant Sous Chef Suni Quinones Rivera and reminds her of a similar dish her grandmother would make for her as a child when she was sick. While it was only available in Disney World through October 15th, here’s how you can make it at home!
