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 bookhere.

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:

Akershus Royal Banquet - Norway Pavilion

• Breakfast $64 for adults; $41 for kids
• Lunch/Dinner $74 for adults; $48 for kids

Biergarten Restaurant - Germany Pavilion

• Lunch/Dinner $60 for adults; $34 for kids

Coral Reef Restaurant - The Living Seas

• $69 for adults; $27 for kids

The Garden Grill Restaurant - The Land Pavilion

• Breakfast $53 for adults; $34 for kids
• Lunch/Dinner $66 for adults; $43 for kids

Le Cellier Steakhouse - Canada Pavilion

• Lunch/Dinner $95 for adults; $36 for kids

Regal Eagle Smokehouse - American Adventure Pavilion (same day dining packages only)

• Lunch/Dinner $35 for all ages

Rose and Crown Dining Room - UK Pavilion

• Lunch/Dinner $59 for adults; $25 for kids

Spice Road Restaurant - Morocco Pavilion (same day dining packages only)

• Lunch/Dinner $47 for adults; $20 for kids

While taking advantage of the dining packages is not required or necessary, it is a way be certain you will get seating to a concert.

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.
