Garden Grill

Looking for a Character dining restaurant in Epcot?  One that might have last minute opening? Looking for a one of a kind experience?  A highlight to a possible afternoon in The Land pavilion? Look no further than Garden Grill! I was shocked at how easily we were able to get reservations for this character dinner featuring Chip, Dale, Pluto and the main mouse Mickey himself! All characters are dressed in their farm gear, which adds to the theme of this constantly moving restaurant.  The tables are set at two different tiers, which very slowly move through what seems to be America’s different climate zones as you eat!  Don’t worry, you can’t feel the moving but it sure is fun watching what is up ahead!  From what I recall you dine through thunderstorms, rainforests, a prairie and a windstorm.

Besides the character interaction, which is great, and the setting being a perfect fit for the Land pavilion, the meals here are also fun.  Open for dinner only, meals are served family-style (big platters which are placed in the center of the table for all to enjoy and which servers refill the most popular parts of).  Salads here are Disney-grown, right in the hydroponic gardens in the Land.  Your meal price also includes drinks and dessert.

Why not grab some Fast Passes for Soarin’, grab a meal at Garden Grill and then let your food digest with a quaint boat ride on Living with the Land?

    This is a restaurant we MUST so everytime we are at Epcot. This place has never let us down.

    We LOVED this restaurant. We actually did not have it in our original plan. We made reservations for Cape Mays, but every time we entered The Land it smelled so good. So the day before we went to our resort front desk with our fingers crossed to see if we could get a reservation. Being that this is a character meal that included Mickey Mouse himself we did not think we would get it. We were so happy when we did. We arrived about 5 minutes before our time and had to wait about 10 minutes for our table. It was worth the wait. Everything was amazing, especially the beef and the mac and cheese. The staff was so friendly and helpful and we got lots of time with the characters who visited our table several times while we were eating. My son loved that the restaurant rotated. We will be eating here again. I think it was the best meal we had the whole week we were there.

    love the fresh food here, and the ambiance of the spinning restaurant around the land ride, very good beef, great salad, and wonderful sides to boot

    Loved this Restauant!! We went for the first a couple of weeks ago. I loved that the characters got around to us a couple of different times and the food was good too.. when they brought out the food I was thinking there was no way it would be enough but it was more than enough… I was able to get great pics with the characters… the only thing that didnt work for me was not having a highchair for my son at the table we chose but that a minor thing and I could always bring one that hangs on the table in the future.

    We adore GG for the AMAZING character interaction! On our first visit they came around to our table THREE times and had time to “play” with us each time. At our second trip they visited twice, probably because we had a later ADR. Still, best character option in my opinion. We thought the food was great, although we were starving both times as I remember thinking “this is the BEST bread and salad EVER”…
    They brought fingers and fries for the picky kids and service was very good. A must-do.

    LOVED this place! We actually didn’t expect alot out of the place, but reserved it because it was character dining. I hadn’t heard any rave reviews, so we went in just hoping it was horrible. We had the best service of our entire 10 day trip there. Our waiter was so friendly and attentive. The food was amazing. They serve it family style, and make sure they keep refilling what you need more of. All of the food was fresh and delicious. Even if there were no characters, we would go back!
