Founded by award-winning chef James Petrakis, The Polite Pig at Disney Springs is a barbecue haven. With roots in Disney’s California Grill, Petrakis used his culinary success to launch this popular spot, which has paved the way for expanding his other ventures across Orlando.

Behind-the-Scenes Magic: Small Businesses at Work
Small businesses aren’t just on display—they’re also behind the scenes, helping to create the magic. For example:

• Poli Construction, Inc. has worked with Disney Imagineers for 15 years to bring iconic locations like Regal Eagle Smokehouse and Tambu Lounge to life.
• Colonial Press International, Inc. produces the park maps you rely on to navigate the parks, ensuring consistent quality with every print.
• Sobel Westex has been providing plush linens to Disney Resorts for more than 20 years, making those post-park bed crashes unforgettable.

Small Business Saturday is more than a day—it’s a chance to celebrate the contributions of these incredible businesses that bring joy and comfort to Disney guests year-round. So as you stroll through Walt Disney World this Saturday, take a moment to shop small, support local, and make your visit even more magical!
