The Chocolate Workshop Presented by The Ganachery
This hands-on workshop at Disney’s Riviera Resort will offer a taste of The Ganachery, the specialty chocolate shop located at Disney Springs.

This class begins in March, and will be offered on Sundays at 11 a.m. Classes are $60 per person plus tax. Reservations can be made by calling (407) WDW-PLAY.

Back by popular demand, this experience gives guests ages 4 and up the chance to be mermaids with fun pool activities, complete with a swimmable “tail” just like Ariel. At the end of the experience, guests will now get a special medallion to commemorate their time under the sea.

Guests will be able to experience this offering at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort, Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club Resorts, Disney’s All-Star Music Resort, Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, and Disney’s Riviera Resort.
