Epcot Restaurants 01 Oct 2010

[Zawadi]

Trying to get an ADR for Biergarten for Friday 01 Oct, but the online reservation system is showing no availability all day. Only availabilty for 01 Oct in Epcot is at Rose & Crown & Bistro de Paris. Checked again today and reservations are available for 02 October at all Epcot Restaurants.

I know the park hours aren't out yet for October and it is the start of Food & Wine Festival, but it seems a little strange if they are all booked at this early stage, or do you think it's just a case that they have'nt released them for 01 Oct yet , but then why can I book 02 Oct? :confused:

I would guess because you can only book 180 days out - try again April 4th.

We're booking 180 +10 for on site stay.
I started last Monday (at the 180 day mark) and booked 10 days and each day since have been adding an extra ADR for our 14 night stay. I understand what you are saying, but then why can I now (today) get an ADR for Sat 2nd Oct?

It may be because of the marathon being run that weekend.

I would call disney dining - there could be some crazy fluke with the online reservation system.

just keep trying. over the course of a week, i could find no reservations available, and then suddenly from out of nowhere I got one. a little persistance will get you what you need!

Just tried again for Biergarten on 1 October.

The date is now 180 days, so available generally without hotel ressie.

Other Epcot restaurants have now appeared as available, however Biergarten is still showing as unavailable for either lunch or dinner on 1 October :(

I'll try again in a few weeks, but as it's not looking good, I've booked somewhere else just in case it is closed.

I was 180 days +10 out last Sunday, was able to book every thing except Epcot on the 1st. Went back in on Monday and was able to book Le Cellier. On Sunday there was no avavilability, on Monday I was able to pull up multiple openings. I would keep trying...

I could be totally off on this but for some reason I remember reading that there is a special two week Oktoberfest celebration starting on first day of F&W which is Oct 1 this year.
