Hello Liz,
When I saw your question, I just had to answer it.
The Biergarten Restaurant in the Germany Pavilion of Epcot is our family's must-do every single Walt Disney World vacation. I am of German descent and it holds a special sentimental place in my heart. My husband loves the steins of beer and hearty German food and my kids absolutely love the Bavarian musicians.
Any child 3 years old and younger may eat at the buffets free of charge. It is likely your reservation is made for 3 so that there is space for either his baby carrier or high chair. Even if you don't use the extra chair, you should not be charged for a child's meal. Be sure to try my favorite things on the buffet, which are the potato leek soup, spatzle and the pork schnitzel. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.
I know you will also enjoy the beautiful production of the
Candlelight Processional. I am always so moved by the music and storytelling, to the point of goosebumps and the occasional tear. May your holidays be blessed this year and your trip full of magic.
