How to Get Garden Rocks Dining Package Reservations at EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival
The 2026 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival begins today. Running March 4 through June 1, 2026, the Flower & Garden Festival fills the park with colorful topiaries, seasonal food booths, and live music.
One of the highlights of the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival is the Garden Rocks Concert Series, where visiting artists perform nightly at the America Gardens Theatre.
Seating for these concerts is free with park admission, but it’s also first-come, first-served. Popular shows often fill up early. If you want guaranteed seating, the Garden Rocks Dining Package is one of the easiest ways to secure a spot.
What’s Included in the Garden Rocks Dining Package?
The Garden Rocks Dining Package combines a dining reservation at a participating EPCOT restaurant with reserved seating for a concert performance later that evening. Without the package, guests must join the standby line for seating, which can begin forming well before showtime for popular artists.
Garden Rocks concerts take place daily during the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival at the America Gardens Theatre in the World Showcase. There are three shows per day – 5:30 PM, 6:45 PM, 8:00 PM.
Dining packages include guaranteed seating for one of these performances, on the same day.
At most participating restaurants, the Garden Rocks Dining Package includes an entrée and dessert, or one full buffet (where applicable), as well as a nonalcoholic beverage (or alcoholic beverage for Guests 21 and older).

Is the Garden Rocks Dining Package Worth It?
For many visitors, the dining package is the easiest way to enjoy the concert series without waiting in long lines. It can be especially helpful if you:
- Want guaranteed concert seating
- Are visiting during spring break or other busy weeks
- Want to see a specific artist
- Plan to dine at EPCOT anyway
Due to it’s popularity and the calendar overlap with many school Spring Breaks, The Flower & Garden Festival is one of EPCOT’s busiest seasons. Dining reservations tend to fill up quickly, but even when reservations appear sold out, availability can change as other guests cancel or adjust their plans.
How MouseWatcher Can Help
If the dining package restaurant option you want isn’t available, it doesn’t always mean it’s gone for good. MouseWatcher can notify you when new availability appears due to cancellations.
