Hi Jennifer!
Welcome to planDisney! Now, we invite you to relax and pull up a chair as we proudly present. . .your answer!
Jennifer, I just recently returned from my latest visit to Walt Disney World Resort and had the opportunity to enjoy another fabulous meal at
Garden Grill Restaurant in
EPCOT. I adore this character dining experience for several reasons. First, it's open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, giving you the ultimate flexibility when
choosing a reservation time that works for your schedule. Secondly, the meal is served family style, which means that I don't have to juggle my three kids at a buffet but instead can sit back and enjoy my meal along with the character interactions. Speaking of the food, whatever time you choose to dine here, you'll find delicious options. I typically book character breakfasts when visiting with my family since my kids can be picky eaters (and who doesn't love a Mickey waffle?!?), but on my recent visit, I had a chance to visit at dinner with a friend and found that meal wonderful as well. The grilled steak and mashed potatoes were two of my favorites! The location is also unique as the restaurant rotates throughout scenes from the
Living with the Land attraction. Plus, while characters may be subject to change, you can typically enjoy your meal visiting with Mickey, Pluto, Chip, and Dale - how fun!
Currently, Garden Grill Restaurant participates in the
Disney Dining Plan and offers great value as you only redeem one Table-Service meal for this all-you-care-to-enjoy character dining experience. As you continue to plan for your trip, you can find more information about whether or not a restaurant participates in the Disney Dining Plan and how many meals will be redeemed by
searching for the restaurant on the Walt Disney World Resort website and then clicking "View Dining Plans and Discounts" once you select each restaurant.
Jennifer, I hope this information has been helpful and that you enjoy a wonderful visit to Walt Disney World Resort! If you end up dining at Garden Grill, please give the characters a big hug for me and tell them that I hope to see them again real soon! You're always welcome to be our guest here at planDisney, so please
stop by to see me or any of my panelist pals again if you have any other questions - we're all ears!
Bon Appétit!
