Check out the new locations and prices for EPCOT’s Eat to the Beat dining packages

Dining packages for EPCOT festivals have been limited. However, for EPCOT’s 2022 Food and Wine Festival, they’ve expanded the choices.

EPCOT’S Food and Wine Festival

The International Food and Wine Festival returns to Epcot this year! This is one of my (Susan) favorite festivals with the best food and fall weather.

EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival runs from July 14th to November 19th!

We shared a first look recently at what all will be offered HERE.

Eat to the Beat Concerts

At each EPCOT festival, a variety of groups perform on the American Gardens Theater stage. As with other festivals, the Eat to the Beat concerts begin at 5:30, 6:45, and 8:00pm. Check out this year’s concert lineup HERE.

There are 2 ways for guests to attend. First, simply wait in the standby line and try your best to get a seat. For popular performers, however, this may be difficult. Second, reserve a dining package.

Dining Packages

When my husband and I visited Disney in May, Ambrosia and Peter Beckett performed. Because he loves this band so much, we didn’t want to chance not getting a great seat. We opted to dine at Biergarten in EPCOT’s Germany pavilion using a dining package. The downside of dining packages is guests pay more at already expensive restaurants.

Before now, Disney only offered 4 table service locations: Biergarten, Rose and Crown, Garden Grill, and Coral Reef, and Regal Eagle Smokehouse. Check out Monica’s review of the Biergarten dining package to see the Candlelight Processional HERE.

Same-Day Dining Packages

Are the table service prices too steep? Or, are you planning a last-minute visit? If so, check out dining packages at Spice Road Table and Regal Eagle Smokehouse the same day as the concert.
