Greetings Mary,
I am so glad that you stopped by the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your planning question. The
Biergarten Restaurant holds a very special place in our hearts. I am of German descent and my family has a tradition of dining there each and every trip. My kids adore dancing to the Bavarian entertainment, my husband always enjoys a cold, frothy German brew, and I absolutely love the bountiful buffet of German dishes that bring back memories of my grandfather. My favorites are the pork schnitzel, spatzle (dumplings), and the cucumber salad. Be sure to have a sampling of the delectable desserts, which include Black Forest cake.
The first reservations of the day usually begin around 12 noon. The entertainment does not typically start right at that time, but historically does begin within that first hour. However, if you take your time and do not rush through your meal, you should be able to catch the amazing talent of the Bavarian musicians toward the end of your meal. Please keep in mind, though, that entertainment is always subject to change or vary without notice.
I hope you enjoy your feast from Deutschland while making memories during your time in Epcot!
Prost!
