Welcome back to planDisney, Billy! Your springtime visit is just around the river bend, and it sounds like you're making some plans for fine dining and festival entertainment at the
EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival! This is my personal favorite EPCOT festival; the character topiaries bring imagination to bloom and the colorful ambiance all around the park makes it feel even more magical!
Billy, in looking into the
Garden Rocks Dining Packages for this year, it looks like you will be able to apply meals from the
Disney Dining Plan to this package! This is a great way to combine dinner and reserved seating for a show! When you go to make your
online reservations, the dining plan information will be displayed after you select your party size, date, and preferred showtime. You will be able to see which participating locations are available for your selected date and time, as well as the dining plan information.
In doing a mock booking, I was able to find options for lunch and dinner reservations at the following restaurants, which would require 1 table-service meal from the Disney Dining Plan:
- Spice Road Table
- Biergarten Restaurant
- Coral Reef Restaurant
- Garden Grill Restaurant (there are also breakfast options available for 1 table-service meal)
Rose and Crown Dining Room also showed availability for this package for dinner in exchange for 1 table-service meal on the Disney Dining Plan. And since you asked specifically about
Le Cellier Steakhouse, the good news is that it is also included on the packages, but it will require 2 table-service meals from your dining plan as part of this package for both lunch and dinner reservations.
Billy, it looks like there are many delicious options for your pre-concert dining; no matter what you choose, you will enjoy the benefit of reserved seating for your chosen showtime that same evening!
I hope this answer has been helpful, and we'd love to see you come back to
planDisney with any other questions as you count down the days to your next visit!
Rock On,
Alison
