Garden Grove at the Walt Disney World Swan offers character dining on weekend mornings with Goofy, Pluto, and friends, set inside a greenhouse-like conservatory centered around a massive tree — one of the more picturesque character dining rooms in the EPCOT resort area.

Insider Tip
Garden Grove runs character meals on weekends (and select weekdays — confirm when booking) with a rotating Disney character roster. As a Swan hotel restaurant, it's slightly outside Disney's standard booking flow but still bookable through OpenTable. It's a lower-cost character dining option that's often overlooked. The weekday dinner is a straightforward buffet without characters.
