Review of Biergarten - Lunch/Dinner

There is a little entertainment show during the meal, which is a lot of fun and gets crowd into a festive mood. However, we were brought to a table on the very end/side of the stage. I quickly asked to switch, and am so glad or we would have missed out on the fun. Food is pretty good with wide assortment. If not on the dining plan, then expensive for kids who barely eat. Disney needs to have Jr. Price for buffets because it is absolutely ridiculous to charge Adult price of $35+ for a 11 year old kid.

Great and fun atmosphere, but extremely overpriced for the quality. $16.99 for nachos, and it wasn't the heaping kind of nachos but individual little chips with toppings in a circle on the plate. If not on the food plan, definitely overpriced.

We had great bus service this past trip (May 2017). Need to add extra buses to the park closing times, and monitor screen with approx. arrival times at parks would be beneficial.
Pros:
Monitors with arrival times at hotel bus stopsCons:

One register open, and at night busy selling beer. But can only sell 1 or 2 at a time, so each individual had to get in line to buy individual beer instead of one person buying 6. Took forever becasue there were a whole bunch of convention people in line. Not many choices for food except lots of sweet/cupcakes.

Food was brought family style, and the characters visited each table individually. However, the eggs were very salty and the wait staff very slow. Disney needs to have Jr. Prices for buffet because we paid Adult prices for my 2 children (age 11 and 12) and not on the dining plan. Food was cinnamon rolls, eggs, bacon, sausage, waffles, fruit. Way overpriced, and do not recommend. Better off using a Fast Pass to meet all the character and get a meal worth the money.

Very pleased with newly remodeled rooms. We stayed in Ranchos which is total opposite from main lobby/restaurants, so hardly went to restaurant. However, the main pool serves breakfast and do refillable mugs (no one told us when we purchased the mugs, nor did anyone tell us or advertise that in order to get to the pool food area, need to walk all around near the volleyball area -- first day I went all the way to the main area to fill the mugs -- way too far). For some weird reason, the main pool closed really early 9 pm in May. We often would like to swim after the parks. The quiet pools were open, but no towels available at all. The resort is under construction and building big tower for conventions. That will obstruct the view and stick out like a sore thumb like the Swan and Dolphin, so not sure how that will look. However, getting the "convention" people to separate area would be great b/c at night they are partying at outside bar and regular guests cannot even get close to that area -- way too crowded.

This was our second time for dinner at Be Our Guest and it did not disappoint. From the appetizers to the dessert cart (the grey stuff really is delicious) our food and service was amazing. This time we were seated in the dining room to the right that houses a large music box of Belle and the Beast. The only draw back here is even with a reservation you are going to be waiting. We were probably 20 minutes past our reservation time when we were seated, which isn't bad but just be prepared. We'll be back for sure!

I enjoyed Skipper Canteen, but for my less adventurous family members the food left something to be desired. The wait staff is hilarious and the corny jokes from the Jungle Cruise ride are a mainstay at this restaurant. We were on the dining plan and this was new which was why I chose this as one of our options, but if we weren't on the dining plan it wouldn't have been an option. I enjoyed it, but if your party is not made up of foodies that are willing to try new things its probably not the place for you!

atmosphere, wait staff, jokesCons:

I usually purchase a few professional photos but still take my own photos. They are always friendly and patient.
