When to eat
- Eat lunch before the noon rush, around 11 a.m., when supervisors have more time.
- Plan your main meal at Dragon Fire Grill and Pub.
What to bring
- Check in with Park Security for approval to bring your own food.
- Pack a backup meal, not just snacks.
- Bring an empty water bottle. Water is always allowed.
Festivals and dining deals
- The Food, Wine and Garden Festival runs on spring weekends. Past festivals have included vegetable dishes, but many have butter or cream. Ask at each booth.
- The All-Day Dining Deal includes Dragon Fire Grill and Zagora Cafe. Ask for a supervisor at each stop.
