You can also grab a same-day dining package at the Regal Eagle Smokehouse ($36, $21). You’ll want to head to the restaurant the same day as the performance you want to see, but keep in mind there is a very limited amount, and it may not be available during peak dates. If there’s a date you know you can’t miss, booking a reservation in advance can help ensure that seat is secured.

Remember: you also don’t have to grab a package to listen to the artist! There are a lot of seats in the American Gardens Theater. You’ll want to arrive early and be prepared to wait in line for a bit to see the concert.

Garden Rocks (EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival)

There are usually three shows every night at 5:30 PM, 6:45 PM, and 8 PM. If you choose to wait in line, you might have to wait for the second or third showing if it’s busy.

You Can Enjoy These Concerts During the Festival
