Women’s History Month

It’s women’s history month!

After a petition by the National Women’s History Project, Congress designated March 1987 as Women’s History Month.  This month serves as a time to recognize the vital role of women and their often overlooked contributions.

Please join us in the cafés during the weeks of March 19th and March 26th as we celebrate Women’s History Month through the lens of food and will feature very special menu items created by our very talented Bon Appétit at Disney female chefs, cashiers, servers and managers.
