Guaranteed Seating Will Cost You
If you want a guaranteed seat to the concert, you will need to partake in the Concert Series Dining Plan.
Most restaurants across EPCOT will allow guests to reserve dining packages that give you a guaranteed seat during the show.
These are all reservation-based locations, except Regal Eagle, which you can do the same day of the event.
The plan includes a meal, dessert, beverage, and seating.
Here are the participating restaurants with pricing.
Reservations start on July 16, 2026.
Musical performances happen a few times each night, but you want to line up early and try to get a seat. Even if you have guaranteed seating, it’s first-come, first-served.
May the odds be ever in your favor.
