Guten Tag, Matthew! Welcome to planDisney!
Choosing dining locations is one of my favorite parts of planning a Walt Disney World vacation. My family has a tradition where each person gets to choose a table-service restaurant for our trip, and I think it might be one of the most researched and pondered parts of our planning.
I took a look at the My Disney Experience app and saw that you’re correct,
Biergarten at EPCOT is not shown as a
Disney Dining Plan option. Then I hopped over to the restaurant’s website and it says it is part of the 2025 Disney Dining Plan. How confusing! Facing this conundrum, I called up a helpful Cast Member for information. They assured me that Biergarten is indeed included in the 2025 Disney Dining Plan.
Maybe Wreck-It Ralph is off breaking the internet again, but I’m sure this technical miscommunication between the Walt Disney World website and My Disney Experience app will be cleared up soon. If you want extra peace of mind on your EPCOT day, then I’d suggest going to Guest Relations or Biergarten to speak with a Cast Member. Remember, canceling within 2 hours of your reservation time will result in
a $10 per-person fee to cancel, so don’t wait until the last minute if you want to double-check.
Matthew, I hope this helps with your EPCOT dining journey. If you have any other questions or would like recommendations for other restaurants, come right back to your pals at planDisney.
Auf Wiedersehen!
Matt
