Waiting on epcot

[Jen731]

Well, the 3 am wake up call was mostly worth it. Got almost all my desired ADR's for the week after Thanksgiving with the exception of anything for Epcot. Only restaurants taking reservations at this time seem to be Akersus, La Cellier, Spice Road, and one other one (can't remember...). Sucks that the rest of the epcot restaurants aren't taking any reservations. I was happily able to score pre opening Crystal Palace, Be Our Guest lunch, and the other meals we wanted. Yay. Then naturally the system crashed and I couldn't check on one last one for my family.

Now I just wish Disney would call me when Epcot is available so I don't have to check twice a day every day...

I assume someone will post news here when they open up. Good luck!

Oh, that's what I'm hoping too so I don't miss it. I feel sorry for the people who aren't on a message board like this who tried epcot reservations and just saw almost nothing available. I do miss the days of walking into epcot and making reservations via TV with live operators. I thought those were just about the most amazing things ever.

Hopefully between checking here and the Disney site multiple times a day we'll get in early enough and be able to snag what we want before it fills up!

I take it Coral Reef didn't have anything? I didn't think I needed to worry about that one, but now I am!

Definitely no Coral Reef but take heart, it's not that the restaurant is full. It's just that they apparently haven't released reservations at the epcot restaurants. So you will have to keep checking back for a few weeks. Hopefully they will release sooner than later.

We are going the same week and had the same problems with Epcot. I called the dining reservations line and the cast member wasn't sure why nothing could be booked and said to just keep checking. I will keep checking and will post when I book

I was just able to book Biergarten for 8 at 5:15 on November 30!

Was there any flexibility in getting BOG lunch - i.e. date or time. Or did you just try for the end of your visit? Did you book this or Crystal Palace first? I also want Ohana dinner and am not sure what order to prioritize when making ressies.

I just tried teppen edo again and was able to book at 6:50.

Not sure if it matters but at first I was doing a search of all restaurants in Epcot with availability for dinner. Even if nothing came up I pulled up the restaurant and then did a search there for dinner and I actually had choices to choose from. Good luck everyone!!!

Epxot restaurants are holding back spaces for the Candlelight Processional packages. They may still be deciding how much they need to reserve for the packages. Space for regular reservations will be limited.

try booking a time instead of dinner, sometimes that works!!

I was just able to Garden Grill, Rose & Crown, and Nine Dragons. I have been trying for a few days now. I even tried this morning at 6am. I would love to get Candlelight for Nine Dragons but I needed to at least get the reservations and I can add Candlelight later. I have done it that way in the past.
