Seeing a Show
Each of these artists will perform on the America Gardens Theatre stage in EPCOT (between Italy and Japan). This stage has hosted artists ranging from Smash Mouth to David Archuleta.
Seating
Seating for each show is first-come, first-served. It is not uncommon for shows to fill up quickly. If you want to see a show, be sure to plan and prioritize your visit to EPCOT and the Food & Wine Festival. Beginning July 16, 2025, guests can secure a spot in advance by reserving a Festival Concert Series Dining Package. These are available Friday-Monday. More information about these can be found at TasteEPCOT.com.
Dining Package
When a Festival Concert Series Dining Package is purchased, the following options can be chosen from:
- Choose from breakfast, lunch, or dinner (selections will vary depending on the restaurant you choose)
- Entree and Dessert or buffet
- Non-Alcoholic Beverage or an Alcoholic Beverage (for guests ages 21 and older)
Once the meal is over, guests will receive a reserved seating badge for one of the Festival Concert Series performances for that same day.
The reserved seating area is in the second section in the middle of the America Gardens Theatre. Seating is guaranteed for the performance with a seating badge. It is still first-come, first-served within the reserved area. For the best view, arrive early.
It should be noted that specific offerings may vary by restaurant. The Disney Parks Blog shared the example that at Spice Road Table, the meal includes two small plates, a shared dessert platter, and a beverage. Prices will vary by restaurant and mealtime for the dining package. Be sure to research before purchasing a package.
Reservations can be made through the My Disney Experience app or the official Walt Disney World website.
Eat to the Beat Concert Series Free?
For those who are willing to wait, watching a performance during the Eat to the Beat Concert Series is free once they have entered EPCOT. The only charge associated with this concert series, beyond park admission, is if a dining package is purchased.
EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival
The 2025 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival will be running from August 28 to November 22, 2025. Throughout this festival, there will be over 30 Global Marketplaces located all over the park. This includes kid-friendly and plant-based options for all types of appetites. The full menus have not been released yet. They will be ahead of the beginning of the festival.
