Hello there, Hallie!
Welcome back to planDisney! It is almost time for you to jump on your magic carpet and start your Walt Disney World vacation. I bet the excitement in your house is at an all-time high!
I am sorry to hear that you have had some trouble securing a reservation for your entire group of Mouseketeers at
Garden Grill. Sometimes those silly chipmunks have a little too much fun and throw a wrench in our plans! Chip 'n' Dale love making new friends, so keep looking for reservations online until your visit, you never know what may open up.
My fellow panelists and I are currently visiting with Mickey Mouse and his pals and we also ran into some challenges finding
advance dining reservations for our entire group at times due to the size of our party. With
Walt Disney World Resort's focus on the health and wellness of their Guests and Cast Members, physical distancing efforts are a priority that are considered in each dining location. We found success finding reservations by
contacting a Vacation Planning Specialist by phone for our larger party. I would recommend a phone call to better understand what might be available for your group at Garden Grill on the day you visit EPCOT.
If you are open to other options, there are so many great reservations for lunch and dinner at EPCOT! My favorites, that can often accommodate larger parties, are
Biergarten Restaurant and
Via Napoli Ristorante e Pizzeria.
Good luck and pixie dust to you, Hallie! I hope you are able to reserve this rotating reservation. Check in with planDisney again if you have any additional questions before your visit!
See ya real soon! Angie
