Garden Rocks Dining Packages

Garden Rocks dining packages guarantee a seat for one of the three concerts held after you eat that day. You dining package includes an appetizer, entree, and dessert or a buffet, depending on the restaurant. There are 15 options throughout Epcot to choose from, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t plan ahead. If you are considering booking a package, visit Disney’s website or call (407) WDW-DINE or (407) 939-3378 to reserve your plans. If you are using the Disney Dining Plan this will use 2 table-service credits a person. 

Biergarten is located in the Germany pavilion and serves traditional German food. The atmosphere in this restaurant is one of the hidden gems in Epcot’s World Showcase. You will be seated at a communal table, like a true biergarten, so if you don’t have a big party you will be seated with strangers. Depending on your personality this is either a positive or a negative, so be aware of that when you book your table. It is a rotating buffet with selections like bratwurst, rotisserie chicken, pork schnitzel, Bavarian cheesecake, and more!
