Eat to the Beat dining package information

Much like the Fantasmic! dining package in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, the Eat to the Beat dining package lets Guests enjoy a delicious meal at select EPCOT restaurants along with early access to seating in the America Gardens Theatre. For popular artists during the Eat to the Beat concert series, the dining package can be the best way to ensure you get a seat in the outdoor theater to see your favorite acts.

Like dining packages for Fantasmic! and Candlelight Processional if you have visited Disney World during the holidays, the Eat to the Beat dining packages typically include either one entree and one appetizer or dessert or one full buffet, plus non-alcoholic beverages per person in a package price (which varies depending on the restaurant.)

Disney has not yet confirmed pricing or which restaurants will be included in the packages, but the Resort promises more information will be available in late June, and reservations for dining packages will begin on July 6, 2023.
