CONFIRMED: Eat to the Beat Dining Packages Will RETURN to the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival

The 2023 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival might seem far away — but Disney is already getting ready!

It’s Food & Wine time!

This year’s festival will take place from July 27th to November 18th, and we already know some of our favorite booths are returning! We’ll also get to play Remy’s Ratatouille Hide & Squeak again, as well as eat our weight in cheese for a prize with Emile’s Fromage Montage. We even get to check out some amazing entertainment during the Eat to the Beat concert series. But one thing has been left uncertain until now — will dining packages return for this year’s festival?

During the Eat to the Beat Concert Series, guests can jam out to local and globally recognized musicians at the America Gardens Theater. In the past, we’ve seen popular bands from the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s and across tons of musical genres.

This year, we can expect some exciting performances from Boyz II Men, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Sugar Ray, and more! So how do you guarantee a good seat at these shows? It’s official! Disney has confirmed that Dining Packages will be available for the Eat to the Beat Concert series this year.

With these dining packages, guests will be able to purchase lunch or dinner at select EPCOT restaurants, which includes same-day reserved priority seating at the Eat to the Beat Concert that evening. Reservations for dining packages will open on July 6th, 2023.

We still have yet to get the full details of the packages this year, but stay tuned to DFB as we follow along closely!
