Is it weird...

that I can't get a Biergarten reservation at 180+3 or 5? For lunch or dinner? Just wondering if this is a glitch in the system or it's really that popular. I managed to get BOG and Cinderella's Royal Table, and yet no Biergarten!

I couldn't get it either for my 180+10. The CM on the phone seemed to think that it has something to do with CP packages. She looked all around the World Showcase and showed very little availability. She said once those are released, the regular reservations will probably open up too.

Spaces are being held back for CP packages.

I agree that once the packages are released, there should be regular reservations opening as well. I don't know if they will release new ones, but some guests will be cancelling a regular reservation to book CP.

I couldn't get one the last week of November when my 180 opened up but I could about a week and a half later. Other than Le Cellier, EPCOT had no availability when my 180 opened. I would just check every couple of days.

Having same issue for Sept! I've been told it is a popular restaurant, but I had no issues with anything else... strange to me I can't even get a lunch.

I had the same issue with several WS restaurants at my 180+10 mark, and also for Yak n Yetti. I'm pretty sure it's just a glitch in the system. A week later I was able to get Via Napoli and Yak n Yetti, so hopefully it will work for you soon!

Had similar issues in October for both Biergarten and Garden Grill, but one day, out of the blue, lots of openings flooded the system. I presume they firmed up the Eat to the Beat dining packages during those dates, likely, as PP have said, it is now the CP packages TBD.

Garden Grill is fairly popular. Unless it's not spinning like last year.

Biergarten and most of the other WS TS locations were having issues several weeks ago for late November, early December bookings. After several attempts of communication with CMs, using a variety of methods, a dining CM confirmed that it had something to do with holding back times for CP packages. Strange thing was that come my 180 +10 morning, all of my dates became available, so I managed to get Biergarten and Chefs de France dinner ADRs.

I am thinking it is another glitch, personally. If it they are holding back for CP packages, then why did late November and early December open up for me and a few others chatting on the boards. My advice, just keep checking back and email Guest Services.
