Spice Road Table - not showing any dates after 12/31?

[BigEeyore]

I am trying to sort out my ADR's for marathon weekend (the 1st weekend of January) and really wanted to go to Spice Road table, but it's not showing any dates after the end of December on MDE. Does anyone know why? TIA!

Same. I have been checking also.

Some people have said that Biergarten and Garden Grill aren’t showing up in early January. Maybe they haven’t released yet.

I hope that's all it is. As I've said before, though, with Epcot becoming Festivals all the time (for example, I remember way back when F&W opened at the end of September and a recent year when it started in July), Epcot restaurants must be losing business-don't people so often just eat at the festival booths now? And these are two restaurants which weren't comparatively overwhelmed with guests anyways. I don't feel too good about this.

Not sure about the booths. We always have one TS meal, because our picky son won't eat anything at the booths. It's possible other people with kids have the same issue, but I don't really know for sure. Most of my theme park friends don't have kids.

This is actually a "between festivals" weekend and it should be a busy time - right after NY's and then the marathon weekend crowds, so I really hope it doesn't mean they aren't going to be open at all.
But usually when it is festival time - we tend to do booths for lunch/snacks and then a TS for dinner at Epcot.

…Epcot restaurants must be losing business-don't people so often just eat at the festival booths now?

EP has been well festivalized for a few years now so I’m going with no. Booths don’t offer a break from crowds, a break from weather, a themed environment, a physical place to set your food or the ability to eat more than 3 bites without having to get in another line. When I want TS it’s because I’m after some mix of those aspects.

Some people have said that Biergarten and Garden Grill aren’t showing up in early January. Maybe they haven’t released yet.

Winner, winner! For my Sept trip a chunk of EP restaurants failed to load into the system for a couple weeks (San Angel, Coral, R&C). Dates after mine loaded but not mine There is a bug in dining IT they aren’t fixing and it’s been there for sometime.

I was having the same issue with Ragland Road for a January 6, 2024 date. Fortunately, they are on Open Table so I just booked through that after the advice I got here.

Update! They populated ADR's for the first two weeks of January and I was able to get a dinner reservation!
Also - I was having the same issue with Biergarten and that is also resolved.

No Spice Road table for January 13 - 19. I couldn't get my dates until 6:30 a.m. though, could it be that popular?

Same thing happened to me of December. Luckily I ended up getting one ( must have been a cancellation) I really think they weren’t released til later and I then missed it.

My reservations have now opened up for my trip and I am trying for Spice Road on Sat Jan 27 and no availability. I think they just aren't loaded. Seems to be an issue for a couple weeks before that too. Something definitely wrong when I can get a Space 220 Lounge for this day and not Spice Road. I guess I'll just keep checking back. I don't feel like phoning in and I don't think it will be hard to get once the reservations are loaded.

Tried today for the second leg of my trip Jan 23-27 - no availability except for the Fireworks Package.

I just saw that the Broadway Concert Series starts Jan 12. This is the first night there are no Reservations showing. Looks they are holding them back for the dinner packages. They go on sale Dec 19. I hope they have some regular reservations open up after that date too.

Well my theory was wrong. Was looking last night and saw they loaded more reservations. Anyway finally got my late January reservation. If anyone is wanting Spice Road go and try now.

We ate at Spice Road for the first time this trip as part of the Candlelight Processional package and booked our next reservation while sitting at the table. What an excellent meal!
