For some reason, of all of the disdain, indifference, and incompetence that Disney has shown us over the last couple years, I'm having the most trouble getting over this one. We have a family tradition of Biergarten for lunch on our EPCOT day. Eight years running.
At precisely 6:00 am when my dining window opened at 60+5, I could not find a single reservation. But that didn't surprise me. It was already known on these forums that Disney had not yet released a single table at Biergarten for the entire month of December. Websites that show dining availability confirmed that. It seemed like my only way of getting a reservation was to book a CP package. So I followed Disney's instructions and logged on at 5:55 this morning and began search over and over for our Epcot day (December 20). Nothing. And now Disney tells us that they somehow sold out the entire month of December in minutes, and that many of us who were trying during that time were shut out.
How could the entire Biergarten restaurant (which is huge) sell out for the entire month of December, in seconds? What, exactly, did I do wrong that has led to the end of our family tradition? What is the point of staying onsite if the Disney does not actually provide the promised benefits?
I'm just so demoralized right now.
