Nov 27 Beirgarten dinner

[Mickey1105]

I'm bringing my German parents with me to WDW this year & we'll be eating dinner at Epcot on Nov. 27th.
We have a party of 8 and I really want to take them to Beirgarten but there's nothing available, not even for a party of 4. Is Beirgarten that popular? I'm so surprised because I was able to get a reservation at the "impossible-to-get" Be Our Guest that night, but I would much rather take them to Beirgarten.
There is an 11:55 a.m. lunch opening, but I've seen some posts saying the first show is at 1:15 p.m. I don't want to eat there if we won't see the show. Does anyone know where I can find the show schedule? Any advice would be appreciated.

This is just a guess, but I believe that is the first night of the Candlelight Processional so a lot of people are probably booking it at the tail end of their Thanksgiving week trip. Add in that Biergarten is typically one of the lesser priced CP options.
