Epcot to Eat without a ticket

[Mickey527]

Can anyone tell me if they are still letting people into Epcot for dinner if they don't have admission?
My aunt and Uncle who live in FL want to meet us for dinner one night. I am going down with my sons, their girlfriends, my dad, my Brother and SIL and their two kids.
My aunt and Uncle live in Fl but don't want to buy admission, but want to meet us for dinner. Our favorite family place is Germany and we would love to eat there.
Can we get them in?
If not we will eat at Cape May's but German food is our favorite, especially the Spatzle. And of course this Beck family loves the Beck's beer. Peggie

Every PS I have made for a restaurant in one of the parks I have gotten the same speil from the CM. "You must have park admission to eat at this restaurant."
So it looks like you will have to go to Cape May.
Sorry

Still? Did they ever? How would you keep them from exiting the restaurant and staying in the park?

I concour, every PS I made in a park, the CM's repeated that admission was required

Thanks

Disneyland and Knott's do - you pay admission at guest services, and have to be back within a certain amount of time to get your money back (not sure if you get full amount back). Wouldn't make for a relaxing dinner if you're worried about getting back, but I am still curious about this...

Anytime I have telephoned to make a ps I've been told Park Admission is necessary. Hope this helps?

I know Universal has a dining pass - but I've never heard of it at WDW. They ought to - I'd go eat in Canada on our trip in 2 weeks if I could without park admission!

I read someplace that they have a Florida Resident Dinning Exprience Card. I am think it was for people who just wanted to have dinner at Epcot or MGM and then leave. I think you can only enter the park after a certain hour. I am not sure if it is available any more or what the deal is with that. I think I saw it at Mousesavers.com. There is a section under park tickets for Florida residents. You may want to check that out. Or call disney and ask for florida residents discounts and just ask.

I think that would be great if I lived there to go just for dinner.
