EPCOT Concert Schedule 2025- Lineup, Times

EPCOT is one of Disney’s most adventurous parks and well worth the price of admission to experience all that both World Celebration and World Showcase have to offer. What many people are not aware of is that EPCOT offers FREE (well included with the price of admission) concerts throughout the year that you can attend on your park day.

Disney tries to theme the concerts after the festival that is taking place. There are four festivals throughout the year at EPCOT, so you can almost guarantee that you will have the opportunity to see an amazing performance while you are visiting.

Diners will enjoy such selections including bratwurst, rotisserie chicken, pork schnitzel and a variety of salads.

Pricing for this restaurant is $60.00 per Adult and $34.00 per Child.

Coral Reef Restaurant- The Living Seas

The Coral Reef Restaurant is not located in the World Showcase, but still gives you the ability to have specialty seating at the concert. This dining location is special because you can dine with the fishes, sharks, and scuba divers. Panoramic windows give every table an insider view.

The seasonal menu includes seafood, pasta, steak, and more for guests to take a bite out of. There are also many kid friendly options on the menu (grilled chicken, grilled fish, jr. prime rib) as well if your littles want to dine with the fishes.

The pricing is $69.00 per Adult and $27.00 per Child.

Garden Grill Restaurant – The Land Pavilion

The Garden Grill Restaurant is also located outside of the World Showcase in the Land Pavilion. This is another great option for families for the price because it is a character meal where your family can meet Chip and Dale and friends! This restaurant also slowly spins and allows you to get a great view of the Living with the Land ride.

At this family-style meal, breakfast options are there to delight all appetites with eggs, waffles, fresh fruit, cheesy potato casserole, and more.

Lunch and dinner are also family style. For this meal, guests can enjoy a table full of chicken, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, seasonal vegetables, and desserts.

Food options on the menu for your tasting are tender steaks, fresh seafood, cheesy poutine fries and other regional cuisine inspired by the provinces of Canada.

Slightly pricier than the other options, Le Cellier costs $95.00 for Adults and $36.00 for children.

Rose and Crown Dining Room -United Kingdom Pavilion

The Rose and Crown Dining Room is a family-friendly, waterfront restaurant located in the United Kingdom Pavilion.

There are 11 different Mediterranean small plate options on the menu to choose from. With the dining package, guests can choose 2 of the small plates and 1 dessert plate. There really are options for everyone in your party with Hummus Fries, Spiced Chicken, Dolmas, and Naan spreads, just to name a few.

The price $47.00 for Adults and $20.00 for Children.

Regal Eagle Smokehouse: Craft Drafts & Barbecue (same-day dining packages only) – American Adventure Pavilion

Regal Eagle Smokehouse is a newer restaurant located in the American Adventure Pavilion and serves up American Barbecue classics from all over the Southeast.

While the burgers, brisket, and chicken are all delicious, the sides are almost as good as the entrees. To choose between onion rings, beans, house-made pickles, coleslaw, macaroni and cheese, or seasoned french fries is almost impossible.

The cheapest option on the dining package list, Regal Eagle only costs $35.00. It is also the only restaurant where you can choose same day dining packages.

EPCOT Dining Package Basics

Guests will receive seating badges at the restaurant after their meal. The badge will specify the date and show time they have reserved.

Guests with dining packages will enter America Gardens Theatre in a separate queue and will be seated on a first-come, first-served basis. Seating is guaranteed.

Dining packages are only available on the days when there are featured concerts, not when the local artists perform.
To enter EPCOT, both a theme park reservation and valid theme park admission are required. EPCOT admission is not included in the price of the dining package.

EPCOT Concert Series Tips

Popular bands tend to have extremely long lines at the EPCOT concerts waiting to grab the best seats between each show. The outdoor theater seats roughly 1,000 people on benches. Get there at least 30 minutes early to line up.

Don’t worry if you don’t get in the theater. You can still view and hear the artists from the American Pavilion pathway or courtyard.

Bands will sometimes change their set for each showing, so you can see the same performer multiple times and get a new experience each time.

No matter which EPCOT concert you attend, you are sure to have a great time! We recommend grabbing a dining package to get the best seats and choose a later concert time when the band is really warmed up, excited, and pumped with the crowd.
