WS restaurants: best luck for dinner w/o ADR?

[fa mulan]

Hi - we'll be at EP next week (Saturday 11/20!!) and I'm second guessing my dinner ressie choices (Biergarten and Garden Grill) - - so as a back up would love to know which restaurants I'd have the best shot at going to w/o an ADR. I remember seeing a thread, but couldn't find it by search ....

I think one of the restaurants was Marrakesh. Anybody know where else, or remember the thread?

Thank you!!!

I don't really know the answer to your question... but KEEP YOUR GARDEN GRILL ADR. That's my favorite restaurant in Epcot and we always have a very enjoyable experience there. The characters are great and the food is DELICIOUS.

Marrakesh, or Nine Dragons. Maybe Hacienda de San Angel if you go early (well before Illuminations).

I'd try the above and add the Beirgarten. They seem to take walk ins fairly often.

Oh I see you already have a Beirgarten ADR...Never mind.

Now.... if I stick with Garden Grill 6:45 ADR do you think we'll be able to scoot back to World Showcase by 8:15 or so to stake out a spot for Illuminations? I have to pull out my EP map (and haven't done that yet)!

When I made the Biergarten ADR I was thinking it would put us in perfect location.

We haven't eaten at either, and of course want the best experience food & funwise -but also to be logistically positioned for IL (and am thinking that WS is better for that....)
Thanks again!!!
