ADR time at Epcot

[olik8smom]

We're planning to spend a full day at Epcot. We're going to do a QS lunch in FW and a TS dinner in the WS. If you spend a full day at Epcot, for what time do you usually make your ADR?

Totally depends on whether there are any special events, shows, concerts etc on the day you are going. For instance, we are eating twice at Epcot during Flower Power concerts. I therefore have dinner 1 night at 4:45 pm so we can make the late show and not until after 7:30 the other night so we can catch the early sets.

I have never tried to make an ADR to watch Illuminations; eating that late just does not interest me. Epcot is so big that I don't feel compelled to try to stake out a viewing place hours ahead of time, though, so I wouldn't be eating at 5 pm just so as to go stand around waiting for Illuminations.

Bottom line is that unless there is some specific show you want to see, schedule dinner for whatever YOUR normal hungry time is. Yes, 6 pm is prime time for everybody so ADRs for that time slot do fill up first, of course.

We try to eat as close to 6 as possible simply because that's when we get hungry. However, we love Le Cellier and Teppan Edo so much that when we're booking those two, we'll take whatever's open and eat other meals based on those times.

Thanks! I ended up getting a 5:55 for Biergarten. We are a group of 8, so I was happy to get that time. I think it will be fun. My dad is of German decsent and I think he'll really enjoy the experience.
