Epcot Character Dining | the disney food blog

Looking for all-you-care-to-enjoy dining in EPCOT?

As part of the phased reopening of Walt Disney World which began in the summer of 2020 after the Resort’s temporary closure in response to the global health situation, traditional buffet service is currently unavailable in light of new safety measures. However, on this page we are continuing to highlight Table Service restaurants that feature All-You-Care-to-Enjoy meals in EPCOT so you can be prepared… AND bring along your appetite!

Biergarten

Biergarten offers a wide variety of German favorites, including bratwurst, spaetzle, potato salad, and more! The meal is currently served family-style, though this spot typically offers buffet service.

Garden Grill

The Garden Grill serves up Chip ‘n Dale’s Harvest Feast, which is a Character Meal featuring Mickey and Pluto in addition to the namesake hosts!

This all-you-care-to-enjoy meal is served family-style and features hearty turkey and beef options, along with comforting sides like Mac and Cheese along with salad featuring ingredients harvested right within The Land pavilion — the very same building which is home to Garden Grill! Another highlight? The restaurant rotates, offering different vantage points of the pavilion and its Living With the Land attraction as you dine!

Akershus Royal Banquet Hall — Princess Storybook Restaurant (Currently Unavailable)

The Norway pavilion is home to the lovely Akershus Royal Banquet Hall, which gives guests the chance to dine with true Disney Royalty — Disney Princesses!

Service style is somewhat unique in that this location typically offers something of a hybrid. For breakfast, American dishes are served family-style, and guests may also partake in the included Norwegian Smorgasbord. Lunch and dinner include unlimited visits to the cold bar featuring authentic Norwegian meats and cheeses along with the guest’s choice of a plated entree and a dessert trio to be shared by the table. (Be aware that some of the lunch and dinner offerings can be a bit intimidating for those with a picky palate.)
