Biergarten questions!!

[rael ramone]

My lunch rememberances of Biergarten was the entertainment was much, much lower key. Just 3 guys playing, and not the more involved show that is later on. (Of course that was years ago).

If you want dinner for the Sauerbraten, in my opinion it was quite dreadful.

Also keep in mind that you are seated with other guests (unless you have a party of eight).

We booked a lunch reservation for noon, as another poster did, not knowing entertainment didn't start that early. They finally started at one so we stayed enjoying a few beverages until almost 1:30. We were a little disappointed we missed some of the music.

9 different kinds of cabbage, need I say more? Makes for a musical evening

Seriously, lunch is great there. I love the salads too, always making sure to make a "cold trip" first before I get my hands around the hot foods.

Don't forget the "3rd trip" for dessert...

We ate there this past September & were pleasantly suprised. I was a bit nervous about the food choices but, everything was very good!

Does Biergarten have any tables for two people if you want one? Or are you required to sit at bigger tables with other parties?

They might have some 6-seater tables off in corners where that's all that'll fit, but there isn't really a way to dine here as 2 people without sharing a table with others.

I believe the band comes on around 1:30 but dont quote me on that.

This may have been mentioned already, but the band show times are posted on the Disneyworld.com website.

I used that schedule to plan my ADR (though, you probably wouldn't need one...the building is huge!)

The show is a lot of fun, and I like doing it for lunch. The food is good, but I admit I am a bit picky as I make better shpeatzle at home and I prefer veal schnitzel...they serve pork at Biergarten.

No, they do not have tables for only two. You can ask for your own table, but I would not count on it. I will say that the first time we went I was kind of concerned as you are. I did not want to be seated with absolute strangers for a meal, but we have now been there dozens of times and really enjoy meeting people from as far away as New Zealand, all over Europe and of course US residents. I can't say that I have not had a bad experience when dining @ Biergarten. It is one of may favorite place to go when @ WDW. I love it.

Lunch at the Biergarten is fabulous, and stopping there for lunch or dinner has become a tradition for us. There may be a couple of additional items on the dinner menu, but you won't miss them if you're going for lunch -- there will still be ample selections on the buffet. I recommend the beer flight to go with it!

Touring Plans has the schedule for Oktoberfest Musikanten (the band). Shows currently run at 1:15pm, 2:15pm, 3:15pm, 4:45pm, etc. If you make a 12:45 or 1:00pm reservation you should be right on time to see them.

I think it depends on how interactive the crowd happens to be. We've been there for an early dinner when no one is dancing and the band played the bells and the horns. When we've gone later and there are more people on the dance floor, they play the chicken dance song and that sort of thing

If you dine around the holidays they include carols sang in German in their sets. The first time we went my then husband sat next to a totally overfriendly slightly intoxicated Brooke Hogan look alike. He had a wonderful meal. Lol. My Princess Fiona looking self just enjoyed all the yummy food.

We ate here in December. Loved it! Options for all and the food was really good. The entertainment was fun and the atmosphere was very festive.

We've done Biergarten for lunch on every trip to WDW, and we'll be making a reservation for lunch there again for our upcoming trip. Love it Good food, great atmosphere.
