Hey there, Vicki! Welcome back to planDisney! It's so great to see you again and chat about my absolute favorite all-you-can-eat restaurant at EPCOT -
Biergarten! I used to live in Germany for a few years, and I must say, I miss the country and the amazing people I met there. Whenever I visit this restaurant, it brings back fond memories, and I feel like I'm back home with old friends, sipping a refreshing German beer and having lots of fun.
I reached out to some of the friendly Cast Members to confirm the showtimes for you, but unfortunately, there isn't an official schedule for the Polka band as of now. However, from my personal experience, the show usually lasts for around 30 minutes, and I've always managed to catch at least one performance during my visits, regardless of my reservation time. Of course, entertainment is always subject to change or cancellation, but as long as the restaurant is open, you'll most likely be able to enjoy at least one show.
My
friend and fellow panelist Jana suggests booking your lunch after 1 p.m. to ensure that you can enjoy the show while savoring some delicious bratwurst, schnitzel, and the scrumptious Apfel Strudel with vanilla sauce with your family. I trust her advice completely.
Please make sure to also download the
My Disney Experience app so you can easily check the wait times for your next planned attractions while unwinding in the comfort of air conditioning (a much-needed break, especially in June).
I hope this information is helpful, Vicki! I'm sure you'll have a fantastic time, dancing, singing, eating, and drinking like you're actually in Germany during your next trip to EPCOT.
Feel free to reach out if you have any other questions! It's always a pleasure to help out a friend like you.
Cheers
Nilson
