Hi Jessica!
Thanks for coming to see us at the Disney Parks Moms Panel. It sounds like you are getting ready for an incredible Walt Disney World Resort vacation! I'm glad to hear that you are planning on enjoying the incredible dining in Epcot's World Showcase because it's one of my favorite areas in Walt Disney World Resort. My family and I recently enjoyed an awesome meal at
Biergarten Restaurant, where we had fantastic food while enjoying the awesome restaurant's awesome entertainment!
When dining at a restaurant located in a theme park, you will need valid
theme park admission to enjoy your meal. Unfortunately, there isn't an option for a dining ticket or ticket that only grants you entry to the theme park for part of the day. So if you will be visiting
Epcot for dinner, you could definitely spend a full day exploring the attractions, entertainment, dining and magic in the theme park. Otherwise, you can consider some of the awesome restaurants outside of the theme parks for your dinner reservation. If you will be in the Epcot area,
Disney's BoardWalk has some incredible dining options such as
Trattoria al Forno and
Yachtsman Steakhouse that are all great options for dinner.
Let us know if you have additional questions as you continue planning! T-T-F-N, ta ta for now!
