What Epcot TS restaurants are usually walk-ins?

[epcotobsessed]

We want to try more Epcot TS restaurants this time around (have tried and love Chefs de France and La Hacienda) but I hate being tied down to ADRs in Epcot in particular. Are there any Epcot TS restaurants that you find are pretty easy to get a table as a walk-in? I would not try this at prime times, more like 2-3pm. Thanks!

Obviously, no guarantees, but we consistently, successfully get walk-ups at Spice Road Table. We also got a walk-up at Biergarten as a party of 2 last year. You can also check the MDE app about 2 hours prior to when you want to eat and see what's available then. Nine Dragons and Marrakesh may be safe bets as well as they never seem to be booked.

Tutto Gusto is the wine bar in Italy and doesn’t take reservations. They have a “small plates” menu. Not sure about dining plan, if that’s a factor.

It seems like Nine Dragons always has availability. You might want to just look on the app the day of and just see whats available and pick that way. It seems like lots of times they will pop up. Some people have even reported that they will tell you that there is no walk up available but then you look on the app and there will be a time 15 minutes from the time your there. You can look at it as a game of chance and see what you might get.

I am a gambler and that is an appealing strategy to me - thanks!

Marrakesh.

If I didn't have picky people who would not eat at 2/3 of the places there I would do the same thing because sometimes at 180 days out its hard to figure what you might be in the mood for but as a bit of a warning if its during free dining periods reservations can tend to be completely filled up.

I make ADR and DH decides at the last minute he wants to do something else. So we will cancel that morning and ask what is available. Have gotten some of our best meals at Disney that way. Not and epcot eatery but you can usually get a walk in spot at Olivia's at OKW. One of those hidden gems.

We have had luck with Nine Dragons, Marrakesh, and Spice Road Table. Of the three, I highly recommend Spice Road Table.

Exactly what I would have posted. I don't know of any others that you commonly do this, it would be a random moment of availability.

I never do Nine Dragons because I can get good Chinese at home. Love the other two. These days we do a table full of appetizers at Marrakesh.

We've walked up at Biergarten and Nine Dragons. Loved both of them.

Any of the Moroccan restaurants; Tokyo Dining at lunch time in particular rarely has a long wait; you might be able to get a shaded seat at Sommerfest, Katsura Grill has a beautiful setting, 9 Dragons seems an easy place to eat without a reservation and some of the eateries in the Italy Pavilion, spring to mind.
Almost forgot that York County has some nice umbrella shaded seating next to the lake/lagoon.

Biergarten is usually pretty accomodating most of the time at both lunch and dinner.
We’ve always had good luck walking up to Via Napoli at around 3pm.

Biergarten has those long communal tables. Easier to squeeze in a couple.

I see Biergarden listed all the time. But we waited 45 minutes past our ADR time to be seated for dinner one October

 

[blackpearl77]

We've gotten a walk up at Biergarten!

Spice Road Tables almost always has walk ins. We just check MDE, we have never had a problem finding something for the same night, most times about 1/2 from the time we are looking.

Nine Dragons rarely seems busy when we go by.
Marrakesh is a hidden gem. At 6 it was empty, by 7 nearly full.
Spice Road Table almost always seems to be available.

When you decide it's a good time for lunch you can also check in MDE to see if any adrs show up.
