Is it really $50.05 to eat dinner at the Biergarten?!?

[csmommy]

We LOVE eating dinner at the Biergarten when we are staying at WDW & doing the DDP. This year we went to Universal, but are "spending" our Give a Day Get a Day at Epcot. Went to make ressies at Biergarten for tomorrow & was told it would be $50.05 per person! When did this happen?

That's got to be wrong. Are you sure they weren't quoting you a package price or the price for two? I'd call again - I think you got some inaccurate info.

I thought it was about $36, although I'm not sure.

I called 6 months ago to make the ressie & was quote that price. Then, this evening, DH asked where we were eating tomorrow & I said "counter service". Well, he wasn't happy with that answer so he called & got the same info I did..............

The last update I have on menus for Biergarten is for June 2010 and it was listed a s $34.99 per adult for the buffet. I hear what you guys are saying, but clearly there is more to it than this. They just raised it in June to be $34.99 (add 7% more for tax and it is still only $37.35), so I can't see any way they raised it another almost 30% in 2 months. Something is clearly fishy here. I would double check and make sure you arent' going there when they have some kind of special going on... is this during F&W or something?

Sounds really crazy, gotta be some kind of explanation.

Well, I just went to the online disney dining site, and it shows Biergarten tomorrow night and the price range is $15-35.99. Even adding in tax won't amake it near $50 so definitely think someone is giving you strange info.

Maybe they are "estimating" what your cost would be buffet, tax and gratuity?

We ate there in March and it was under 100 with drinks for the two of us.

We are off to Epcot today & will find out the answer. Wish they served the rouladen (sp?) at lunch, then we would just there then.

Who gave you that price? Someone at WDW DINE? I don't ask WDW DINE for info. They're not consistent and they're not correct most of the time. I use it only to make reservations.

There's no way Biergarten costs $50 per person. That would be a $15 increase on the dinner price. Even with tax and gratuity you won't get $50 for one person. And if you were quoted that price six months ago, it's definitely wrong.

Epcot restaurants do not raise prices for the food & wine festival.

Awesome! Update us w/live reports!! Not only on Biergarten, but everything youre doing!!

Have a great day!

Well, WDW DINE was, thankfully, incorrect! It was $34.99 per adult & was fabulous!

Even when I pointed out to WDW DINE that their website showed a range which did not exceed $36.00 per adult, they were still insistant the price was $50.05. Glad they were wrong.

That sounds like the Candlelight Processional Package price...

Either that, or EVERYONE has to buy a liter of bier with their buffet!

I remember reading some time ago that during busy times they were adding a surcharge to buffet meals I thought it was $5 but it could have been more.

it's only $5 for the surcharge, not $15. I suspect either a computer glitch, and/or misinformed Disney Dine CM and/or they were quoting the Candlelight Processional package price.
