Can anyone book Biergarten?

[RobinEJ]

I've been trying basically to book anything at Biergarten for my stay in September and nothing is available? Seems odd to me. I called and the CM assured me it is just booked? But I can't seem to find anything?? Any insight is appreciated! Thanks,

Robin

Since your trip is in September, it might well be booked up.

Keep an eye on the September Dining Cancellation boards! I was able to get a BOG dinner reservation when I coordinated, so I fully believe in their magic! Also, if you're willing to play it a little looser, you may be able to get a reservation the day of/before when people are changing their plans.

Thanks, I guess that free dining really impacts that time of year!

It looks like someone else is having this same problem: http://www.disboards.com/threads/is-it-weird.3419843/

I have a reservation booked at Biergarten for the third week in September that I got at our 180-day mark before free dining was released. Definitely keep an eye on the September cancellations board that was mentioned above. You could also check for a reservation the night before you want to go. I've gotten a few reservations that way since people have to cancel in advance if they want to avoid the $10/person penalty. Good luck!

Thanks everyone!

Thank you! My gut is telling me something is up! Either way for now I booked Teppan Edo and thought that will be a fun first for us!

Teppan Edo is SO good - it's an unlikely favorite of mine, I particularly like the scallops!

I have a shellfish allergy so that won't work for me, but it does get great reviews! And seems like fun interactions!

Also having the same problem and I'm just sure that something is up with that--makes no sense to me. Biergarten is a tradition with my family and we always do lunch, never in 14 years have I seen it completely booked up for both lunch and dinner. I've always been able to book this ADR and even make same day changes and get whatever time I wanted. I'm very frustrated with this myself. I get BOG, Ohanas and CRT--but I'm not buying that Biergarten is just booked solid.

Couldnt do it for Dec, tried 190 days out.

Yeah I have NEVER had an issue getting Biergarten - even last minute. I have even done walk up plenty of times. That definitely doesn't seem right.

the quoted thread is for somebody trying to get reservations in December, not September - it seems the December reservations were held. September it might just be free dining or there might be an issue with the whole system.

There are other restaurants - at least for December. Brown Derby appears to be blocked for a full week.

I think it might be the whole system, just to see I tried to book Biergarten for lunch and dinner this week and came up with nothing. Yet most days I could find BOG, Crystal Palace, etc..

Don't know if you are trying via website or phone? Back in April when I was making my 180 day ADRs, I had trouble making some ADRs via the website. However, when I tried via phone, I had no problems.

I actually had tried using the Internet but when I got nowhere I called yesterday and the CM told me there wasn't a problem as she could see names have been booked on my dates but then I asked her to find one date available in the whole month of September and she couldn't which to me is just super wacky for that restaurant . I asked her to report it to her supervisor to doublecheck .

I'm trying to get Biergarten for December and can't get it. Tried at my 180+10 day. I think they are holding tables for the candlelight processional.

 

[Mom2Stitch]

I called this evening and was told nothing available. Just crazy for that restaurant! The CM on the phone even laughed and agreed with me that it was a large restaurant and not "all that popular"....oh well, this may be the first time in 14 years I miss my favorite spot to eat

I'm hoping it's just the CP holding all the reservations. I tried today for our 180+10 for every day of our trip and it wasn't available. We will be so bummed to not be able to eat there.
