Everything you Should Know about Garden Grill Restaurant in Walt Disney World
What is Garden Grill Restaurant?
Garden Grill is located in the Land Pavilion in EPCOT. This one of a kind restaurant is unique because you are actually moving while you eat! During your meal, you are slowly rotating above the Living with the Land attraction. No need to worry though, because when I say slow, I mean it. You will barely notice it, so for those that are prone to motion sickness, you shouldn’t experience any problems at all. Some of the fresh produce you enjoy during your meal is even grown in the greenhouses from the Land Pavilion itself.
Which Characters can you Meet?
There are four characters who make their way to each table throughout your meal. Mickey Mouse, Pluto, Chip, and Dale. They are even dressed in their farming attire for the occasion.
What Type of Food Can you Get?
Dine for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Enjoy the Chip n’ Dale’s Harvest Feast of all-you-care-to-enjoy family-style platters for each meal.
