Epcot restaurants

Can you eat the restaurants in Epcot without buying a Pass to Disney? We've already visited all the parks, but looking for places to eat.

I don't believe so. There IS a Disney restaurant "row" you can go to without passes to one of the theme parks, however. You can also go to Universal Citywalk and chose from a number of cuisines. We thought the Mexican restaurant was surprisingly good.

No, afraid not...Epcot rstrants require an admission tkt to Park. We liked House of Blues and Wolfgang Puck at Downtown Disney.

Not sure where you reside, but as FL residents what we do is usually by a tix and enjoy another park, then get a hopper added for about $6 extra FL rate, and go to Epcot toward the afternoon, eat, watch fireworks etc...it's the cheapest way we have found to do it...

As others have said, no can do. That resident pass sounds great for Floridians though!

You can eat at the Boardwalk, Flying Fish or Spoodles, or at Downtown Disney. Another great Non-Disney option is Hemmingway's at the Grand Cypress Hyatt.

I've tried several restaurants in EPCOT and wasn't really impressed. Took the kids to "Italy" and while it was good, it wasn't any better than Carraba's really and pretty expensive.The Mexican restaurant was a bit better, but also overly costly for the cuisine. We , too, enjoyed the House of Blues very much. The bread pudding with bourbon sauce is to die for.There are also some nice restaurants in the town of Celebration by Kissimee. We always go there when in Orlando.

I wouldn't waste money on any Celebration restaurant other than Columbia. I haven't had a bad meal at any of the Columbia Restaurants which are scattered throughout Florida.

I lived in Orlando for 18 years and I agree none of the EPCOT restaurants are that good. We got in free for many years because some member of the family always worked at Disney, but we still didn't eat at EPCOT!

If you haven't tried Boma or Jiko at the Animal Kingdom, I would recommend them. Otherwise I would go to one of the many restaurants in the area.

The restaurants on the boardwalk are great. Thereis a great seafood place anf the Mediterranean one was good also. I can't remember the name of either place but I do remember they were good. Especially the fish place.
