YES! I'm trying to cut down on our dining costs this year but one my family insisted on was LTT for lunch!

KrazeeK: Thanks for the input on Biergarten! It doesn't really appeal to me but it was my DM's only dining request so of course I had to include it. I'm so glad to read good feedback about it. The atmosphere does look fun!

Partigus: Yes, a wait at Beaches and Cream does concern me- we are wanting to head right out to the Magic Kingdom as soon as possible and don't want a long lunch. I placed 'Ohana here because we are planning on doing MK that night and Wishes is at 10:00 so I was thinking we would monorail over to 'Ohana for dinner and then back to MK for Wishes. I am hoping it is not too tight on time?

Breakfast at Kouzzina does look very good and unique. Would a breakfast there be heavy enough to suggest eliminating a lunch ADR on our Sci Fi day?

Jennylynn: Good thinking! An 8:30 dinner sounds perfect.

Masonmj: I had scheduled Biergarten at 1:00 because I read the entertainment does not start until 1:15. However maybe moving it forward even half an hour might allow us a little more tummy room while still catching the entertainment before we leave?

Ginny: Sold on LTT lunch!

I don't know if you remember me, but we used to talk on here from my previous TR's. I am so excited to eat at BOG!!!

Tinkgurl! Yes of course I do- I just took a peek at your current TR and congratulations on your marriage!

I have some reading to do! Nice to "see" you!

I think everything looks great with the exception of the Biergarten for lunch.

I must admit, Biergarten is the ADR I am least looking forward to. My mom LOVES German food though and specifically requested a lunch there so I am hoping to just go in with a positive attitude, enjoy the atmosphere & entertainment and remember it is better than anything I could have cooked myself! I am hoping there will be some good Disney buffet basics I can fill up on!

I was hesitant about Biergarten on my last trip, as well. I figured it would be alright, but certainly not tops on my list. I was wrong! The staff was absolutely wonderful - so friendly and helpful. The food was absolutely excellent and I was very happy that they had the beer cheese soup that is just as good as Le Cellier. I loved the endless pretzel bread to dip in the soup. The schnitzel and spatzel were both very good, as well. Also, they have a Riesling here that reminded me of my original love for white wine (I had been drinking noting but reds for over a year and had forgotten how much I loved a good white). Make sure to leave room for desserts. The apple strudel is very good and the Bavarian cheesecake is, no doubt, served by St. Peter upon entrance into Heaven. I love the band and dancing along and love watching the other guests enjoying themselves out there. It has become a must-do for my family and me.

I will make sure not to miss it!

Thanks so much for sharing your experience- hearing reviews such as yours is really helpful. Do you know if the cheese soup is served every day or is it on rotation like at Boma? I love the Le Cellier cheese soup and would be thrilled to make a meal of breadsticks, soup and cheesecake!

Sadly, it's on some sort of rotation.
