I tried to book a dining package for the first night on the first day the package was announced but only had availability at biergarten 🙁 from what the cast member told me only 4 restaurants are participating: coral reef, rose and crown, auskerhaus (yeah i butchered that) and biergarten. seems like these packages are going off of regular availability and didnt have a special allotment. bit of a bummer 🙁
Not very happy. Although this doesn’t look like a big draw, it still may bring more crowds and we are running out of slower times to book our vacations.
Epcot is festivals almost the whole year round. F&W and F&G have been getting extended to almost 3 months each… If an Arts Festival becomes a hit (likely) that can start after New Years and go until F&G. Summer & holiday season is already the “Festival of Crowds”.
Yep, year round festivals. I dig those cheesy little food booths, keep them coming ^.^
