The Walt Disney Resort announced yesterday a $1.5 million dollar investment in a state of the art culinary arts school in Orlando. This boost from Disney will fill Valencia College’s new downtown facility with cutting-edge equipment. Referring to Central Florida, Thomas Smith, Editorial Content Director, Disney Parks said, “Quite simply, this is a world-class destination for one reason: the people who make it possible.”
Smith added, “This $1.5 million donation will not only enhance the education experience for local culinary and hospitality students, it will add an exciting new flavor to Downtown Orlando’s burgeoning hub for education. The Valencia College Downtown Campus, a shared campus with the University of Central Florida, will open to students for the fall 2019 semester and serve the downtown Orlando community to improve countless lives through the power of affordable education. “
