    Hello - is it possible to use Dining Plan credits to pay for Eat to the Beat dining packages at Epcot? I can see this was asked in 2019 but I can't find out if it is still permissible!

    Hello, Robert!

    Are you ready for delicious food and a guaranteed seat to some great music? The EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival presented by CORKCICLE® is my favorite EPCOT festival. I adore wandering around World Showcase, finding delicious snacks, and the Eat to the Beat Dining Packages are a wonderful way to try out a new restaurant and have a seat for the show!

    Several restaurants participate in the Eat to the Beat Dining Packages:

    • Akershus Royal Banquet Hall
    • Biergarten Restaurant
    • Coral Reef Restaurant
    • Garden Grill Restaurant
    • Le Cellier Steakhouse
    • Rose & Crown Dining Room
    • Spice Road Table
    • Regal Eagle Smokehouse: Craft Drafts & Barbecue (Same-day packages only)
    You are able to redeem your meals from the Disney Dining Plan for the Eat to the Beat Dining Package. All of the above restaurants currently require one table-service meal except for the following which will require you to redeem two table-service meals: Le Cellier Steakhouse and Akershus Royal Banquet Hall (uses 1 for breakfast reservations and 2 for lunch reservations). Depending on availability, there are typically three show times to pick from (5:30 PM, 6:45 PM & 8:00 PM.) Although the schedule and restaurant availability can always change.

    The hardest part is picking the restaurant, but I am pretty partial to dining with farmer Mickey & pals at Garden Grill Restaurant. The food is delicious and my family adores Character Dining Experiences. 

    planDisney Tip: While you're guaranteed a seat to the concert, seating is first come, first served, so if you want a seat up close (and hopefully under the cover if it's going to storm) you'll want to get in line early!

    Happy planning, Robert! Thank you for visiting planDisney and if there is anything else we are able to assist you with, please come back and let us know. We would love to hear from you!

    Magical Wishes,

    Lauren
