Is it possible to just have drinks at the German restaurant? My kids have had fun with the band and dancing, but I don't think I want to eat there, though.
I don't think you can. It is a "pay one price" kinda place. We have stood in the door way & peeked in during the slow times & been allowed in for a few minutes. I would check the Epcot entertainment schedule to see when the band is playing outside of the restaurant.
You can have just drinks and enjoy live entertainment outside. That would be a better option. This is a buffet, and how would they know you weren't eating..everyone pays.
