Hey there, Laura! Welcome to planDisney! We're here to help you plan your Disney dining experience with ease.
The BoardWalk area at Walt Disney World is my favorite place to people-watch, take in the beautiful sights, and enjoy a relaxing ride around the EPCOT Resort area. My family also loves to rent
Surrey Bikes and pedal along the scenic waterfront as a fun and unique way to explore!
As for your dining plans at
Garden Grove, keep in mind that this restaurant does not accept the Disney Dining Plan, Disney Gift Cards, or MagicBands as a form of payment. Since the Walt Disney World Swan hotel is located on Disney property but operated independently, it isn’t classified as a Disney-owned resort. This is why Garden Grove does not appear on the Walt Disney World website for
Advance Dining Reservations (ADR).
If you’re set on dining there, I recommend calling the restaurant directly or booking through the Swan’s official website. Also, be sure to check with your server about available discounts, as some may be offered!
Laura, have wonderful time strolling along the Boardwalk and be sure to stop and take in the sights. Depending on what time you visit this area, you may even get a glimpse of
Luminous The Symphony of Us at Epcot.
Toodles,
Korliss
