Concert Dining Packages

If you have your heart set on catching one of these concerts, you might want to consider booking an Eat To The Beat Concert Dining Package.

Since the concerts are free as a part of the festival, seating will be limited and hard to come by. If you book a dining package, you are guaranteed seating for the show.

Here is how it works: you book a dining package ahead of time by calling Disney at (407) WDW-DINE, or going online to book here.

Your meal will include either a buffet or a meal with an appetizer, main course, dessert, and a drink (depending on the restaurant). You will then be given a voucher for a guaranteed seat at the concert for that night.

These are the participating restaurants for 2022:

Biergarten Restaurant

• Germany Pavilion 
• $57 for adults; $32 for kids 

Coral Reef Restaurant

• The Seas Pavilion 
• $69 for adults; $22 for kids 

The Garden Grill Restaurant

• The Land Pavilion 
• $66 for adults; $43 for kids 

Le Cellier Steakhouse

• Canada Pavilion
• $79 for adults; $28 for kids

Regal Eagle Smokehouse (same day dining packages only)

• American Adventure Pavilion
• $34.99 for adults; $16.99 for kids

Spice Road Restaurant (same day dining packages only)

• Morocco Pavilion 
• $44 for adults; $16 for kids 

While taking advantage of the dining packages is not required or necessary, it is a fantastic use of credits if you are on the dining plan. So that is something to consider if you are going to try to catch one of these concerts.

If you want to dine at one of the same day dining package locations, I would suggest heading to that restaurant early in the day to ask about availability. Dining packages do sell out, and more popular concerts may not have availability.
