Hello Susan,
May I begin by wishing you a very warm welcome to planDisney! It's so good to see you here today.
I have some fond family memories of my own from dining at the
Garden Grill Restaurant with the beautiful surroundings of
EPCOT at Walt Disney World Resort. Did you know the Garden Grill Restaurant actually gently rotates as you dine? This fun fact used to fascinate my own children as they ate and could watch out for the rotating scenes from
Living with the Land appear, and disappear as we slowly went around, and around!
Susan, whilst it goes without saying that specific Disney Character appearances can never be guaranteed at Walt Disney World Resort. I am more than happy to share that typically at the Garden Grill Restaurant, Guests can hope to be joined by Farmer Mickey Mouse and Pluto, plus that oh-so playful duo, Chip & Dale too!
Advanced Dining Reservations can be made via My Disney Experience for the Garden Grill Restaurant up to 60 days ahead of arrival. Additionally, those lucky Guests who are staying in a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel may make Advanced Dining Reservations up to 60 days ahead of check-in, PLUS for up to a further 10 days into their magical stay!
Susan, I hope I've fully answered your enquiry today. However, if you should have any follow-up questions concerning your upcoming November vacation, then please do drop back to
me here at planDisney! I'm always happy to help wherever it's possible for me to do so.
Have a great Disney day ~ Jane
