Garden Grill at Epcot

Garden Grill, located in the Land pavilion in Epcot, is one of those hidden treasures that all families must experience.  Chip ‘n Dale’s Harvest Feast will now be a character dining option for breakfast, lunch and dinner!

Upon entering the restaurant you will notice something different right away.  The entire restaurant rotates!  It makes a 360° rotation every hour, so it is slow enough that guests should not be bothered by the motion.  Rather, guests have a great view of scenes from the Living with the Land attraction.

This family-style feast is an all-you-care-to-enjoy meal and Advanced Dining Reservations are highly recommended.  Since this is Chip ‘n Dale’s Harvest Feast, you are sure to get a visit from those two silly critters, along with Farmer Mickey and friends.  I loved seeing Mickey in his flannel and overalls!

The character interaction was fantastic!  We were lucky enough (or slow enough?!) to get a visit from each character twice.  This really opened the door for more friendly conversation with the characters.  We learned that Mickey’s favorite dish on the menu was, of course……  The Mac ‘n CHEESE, which he wrote on a napkin for us!

Although the dinner menu may seem a bit more limited than a buffet restaurant, no one will go hungry!  The rolls were warm and the orange blossom honey butter was a nice treat.  The salad fixings are grown right there at Epcot in Living with the Land.  Seeing where and how your dinner is grown is the best reason not to miss this attraction!  

The main course consists of char-grilled beef, turkey breast and fish, all of which were delightful!  Your sides will be fresh vegetables, mashed potatoes, rice pilaf, stuffing and sweet potato fries.  It is important to ask your server for more helpings of your favorite dishes.

My youngest daughter was able to order from the kids’ menu.  Her plate was loaded with a chicken drumstick, yummy mac ‘n cheese (Mickey’s favorite!), sweet potato fries and even a healthy serving of steamed broccoli!

There were two dessert options, a cupcake and the berry cobbler skillet, which rounded out this “home cooked” meal wonderfully!

I would recommend Garden Grill to all families who are looking for a character dining experience.  Did you know that as a concierge agent with Wishes Family Travel my complimentary services include making your dining reservations?  So let’s start planning your Walt Disney World vacation!
