Each dining package includes an appetizer, entrée and dessert or one (1) full buffet (where applicable), along with a non-alcoholic beverage. Participating restaurants include the Biergarten (Germany Pavilion); Coral Reef Restaurant (Living Seas); Garden Grill (Land Pavilion); and Le Cellier (Canada Pavilion). Prices range from $57.00-$79.00, depending on the restaurant.  Same day dining packages will be available at Regal Eagle Smokehouse ($34.00, American Adventure) and Spice Road Table ($44.00, Morocco Pavilion) for a limited number of concert passes.  

 

EPCOT admission is not included in the price of the dining packages, and guests must have a separate ticket and park reservation for EPCOT.

Dining packages guarantee park-goers a seat in the America Gardens Theatre, while concert-goers without a dining package will need to wait in the stand-by line. More details on the dining packages are available at TasteEPCOT.com. 

 

There will also be 25 Global Marketplaces (food booths) set up around World Showcase during the Festival, providing a wide range of foods and flavors from around the world.
