Date Revealed for 2026 EPCOT Eat to the Beat Dining Package Sales

Food & Wine fans listen up! The most anticipated EPCOT festival is right around the corner, and we just got some really exciting news!

The Beach Boys

This year, the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival begins on August 27th and runs for several months through November 21st. While the food and drinks are always incredible, we know that so many of you look forward to the incredible Eat to the Beat Concert Series! And Disney just revealed when Dining Packages are opening up.

This is an incredibly popular concert series that takes place in the America Gardens Theater and features some blasts from the past performers like The Beach Boys or Smash Mouth. As you can imagine, this event gets incredibly popular, and people wait for hours in line to secure a spot to see their favorite band play.

We’re not kidding about the crowds!

However, there is another way! Every year, Disney offers a Concert Series Dining Package, which allows you to book a dining reservation and also get exclusive viewing for a show. This year, the reservations open up on July 16th!

Eat to the Beat

Here’s how it works: You purchase a dining package for whatever day you would like to see the concert. Then you book a reservation at one of the participating EPCOT restaurants where you enjoy a meal at a pre-fixed price, and you receive a voucher for guaranteed seating at the show. This is an incredible offering and an amazing way to see your favorite performers without waiting all day in line!

Big Bad Voodoo Daddy

This year, the dining package is available at the following restaurants:

Biergarten Restaurant
Chefs de France
Coral Reef Restaurant
Garden Grill Restaurant
La Crêperie de Paris
Le Cellier Steakhouse
Nine Dragons Restaurant
Rose & Crown Dining Room
Shiki-Sai Izakaya
Spice Road Table
Tutto Italia Ristorante
Via Napoli Ristorante e Pizzeria
La Hacienda de San Ángel
Regal Eagle Smokehouse (Available only for day of packages)

The price for each restaurant varies; however, your dining package gets you an entrée and dessert, or one full buffet (at any restaurants with a buffet), as well as a nonalcoholic beverage or alcoholic beverage for guests 21 and older. At Spice Road Table, you receive two small plates, a shared dessert platter, and a nonalcoholic beverage, or an alcoholic beverage for guests 21 and older.

… and the lines for the Beach Boys at Eat to the Beat

If seeing an Eat to the Beat concert is a must-do on your Disney vacation, then reserving a Dining package can be a great option! Especially if you are trying to see one of the extremely popular bands, and you do not want to spend your entire EPCOT day waiting in line. The reservations open on July 16th, so be ready to book because these packages can sell out.

You can score a reserved seat by buying an Eat to the Beat dining package!
