Dining Packages for Garden Rocks Concerts
Even though the concerts don’t start until March, guests will be able to book a Garden Rocks Dining Package starting January 29, 2025.
You will be able to secure a concert and dinner through the Garden Rocks Dining Package. This package will include a meal at one of the participating restaurants, and one guaranteed seat per person at one Garden Rocks concert taking place on the same day.
Garden Rocks Concert Dining Package Restaurants
In previous years, there was only a small handful of restaurants that were a part of the dining package for Garden Rocks Concerts. This year, there have been a few more added to the list making it easier to find something for everyone to enjoy.
When guests book the dining package their meal includes one of the following:
Appetizer, entrée, Dessert, or one buffet/family-style meal. Nonalcoholic beverages are included in the package as well.
The only exception to what the dining packages is eating at Spice Road Table. At Spice Road Table guests can expect their package to cover two small plates, a shared tagine, a shared dessert platter, and a nonalcoholic beverage (or an alcoholic beverage for guests over 21).
Additional important information for Garden Rocks Dining Packages
- Dining Packages are only offered from Friday to Monday. No dining packages are offered Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday.
- Alcohol will only be served to guests 21 and older with a valid ID
- Reservations do require a credit card guarantee
- Guests will receive a reserved seating pass with their meal which will need to be shown at the special dining package queue.
- Valid theme park tickets and valid theme park reservation is required to enter EPCOT. Having a dining package doesn’t count as a ticket or theme park reservation.
Same-Day Dining Packages
It is important that you make a reservation for the Garden Rocks Concert Dining Package. If you are unable to make a reservation, Disney World does offer some same-day dining packages ONLY available at Regal Eagle Smokehouse: Craft Drafts & Barbecue.
If you are wanting to do a same-day reservation, then I recommend getting your name down as early as possible, as they are available on a first-come, first-served basis for their limited number of meals.
