 Hey friends tonight, we are hanging out at Epcot and today we have reservations for the beer garden over in world showcase They actually brought back their full buffet lineup an actual buffet service right here in Epcot So I decided to grab a reservation bring you guys along with me and show you any changes They made to the menu, but also enjoy a night here at Epcot's world showcase any hoos Let's go do this We're gonna head straight back to world showcase But I want to show you the incredibly low wait times here at Epcot today right now test track is running a 20 minute Stand-by wait time that is unheard of and it's five o'clock in the afternoon on a Sunday After we get done with dinner We'll definitely come back out and ride some rides and hopefully the wait time stay as low as they are now because that would be amazing It's hard for me to pass up a 20 minute standby line for test track But we need to get to our dinner reservation And it's actually all the way on the other side of world showcase in the Germany Pavilion The beer garden is one of my all-time favorite dining experiences here in Epcot's world showcase It is an amazing dinner show with live entertainment Some amazing beer and now the buffet is back I did a video here before in the past But they weren't doing the full menu and they were doing a family style now that the buffet is back I grabbed my Germany hat and I had to come out and show you guys because there's gonna be lots more food that they're offering And here we are we have made it to the Germany Pavilion And like I said before this is one of my all-time favorite places to eat because it's a dinner show And you're getting such a great value for all the fun and amazing memories You're gonna make and also I just love the Pavilion itself, too They were gonna put an attraction in here They were gonna actually have a Germany based ride kind of like the Grand Fiesta tour and it was gonna be right here Isn't that mind-blowing? I kind of wish they still did that. I mean they have everything set up for it Look how nicely themed it is in here I'm gonna get all checked in and I wanted to look for a new hat because I bought this one a long time ago And it's actually showing a little age there. I lost the feather from the side of it, but I don't think they make them anymore I used to be able to buy it right here next to the beer garden itself, but looks like they're all sold out This is gonna be the second buffet Disney reopened first gonna be the Beaumont, which we already went to and we enjoyed a lot And now I hear tell that the Crystal Palace is gonna be reopening September 18 So that's three buffets in just 30 days I'm excited to see everything else come back to normal. The only thing is is I don't think they're doing the communal seating I don't think that's quite ready for that yet. I Checked in for my reservation and I put in a table request to sit close to the stage I think there's three different levels if you sit all the way up to the top you get a closer Access to the buffet line, but if you sit down towards the stage you get an up close of the show So it's kind of pick and choose you want to be close to the buffet Or do you want to be close to the performance and I rather be down to the performance because it is fun down there And it's such an amazing atmosphere Here is a look at the menu and also I love this sign Celebrate Oktoberfest every day partial listings and they've got the schnitzel the spatzel They've got the sauerkraut the potatoes of rotisserie chicken traditional sausages and then celebrate Oktoberfest with Traditional entertainment throughout the day and it's forty six dollars for adults and twenty five dollars for children And like I said, this is such a cool experience And just like that our table was called and now we are here We're in the beer garden and I switched I didn't want to sit down on the first floor because all they are eight tables like eight table tops And since they're not doing the communal seating I didn't want to sit on the top all by myself So I hopped up to the second floor and I got a nice little four top and a still an amazing view of this stage right there So I'm excited Look at this place. I love it It is Oktoberfest every day of the year and it's just so amazing and this is what I was talking about how they have Three different levels so like the first level is down there the second one and the third one up top here I Ordered myself a leader of Dunkle and we're gonna head up and check out the buffet I think the next performance starts at six fifty. So we're gonna want to be down there and back at our table before that actually starts There are dozens of new items that they're offering that they didn't offer with the family style Including all the different salad fixings. They've got tons more macaroni Salad three bean salad tomato salads and then over here. You have a war salad a cucumber a beat salad So many amazing things I'm gonna point out a couple of the things that they brought back to the buffet that weren't with the family style And also I want to point out that you need to wear your mask whenever you're visiting the buffet line That goes for here and ball might and probably any other buffets Disney's gonna open up in the future One of the things I know a lot of people were missing when it was family style was the cheese and beer soup And now that is back and take a look at that. I mean, I'm not interested in it I'm not a big cheese fan, but they have many of other great selections including this nice sausage selection right here And then they've got roasted potatoes sauerkraut roasted chicken green beans Salmon a pork snitzel. I love pork snitzel meatballs and then a red wine sauce and then right on over here they have a carving station with warm German potato salad red cabbage and I think pork loin is what we got here. Is that what we got pork roast right pork roast and then what's this one? What is it sour brawn sour brawn? Well German pop roast, I think we're gonna be trying some of that and then the spats all There it is that's the good stuff. Do we got applesauce for it? Oh, yeah, you know, you need the applesauce for the pork Thank you. Oh, there it is. I Love applesauce and pork together. That's how you do it. I Apologize ahead of time sometimes. It's really hard to record in here because it's very dark It's kind of like a fictional nighttime setting So the camera actually might not be in focus at all times, but I'll do my very best They also have a nice kid selection It's got peas and carrots potato pancakes mac and cheese and hot dogs, and I love the potato pancakes I don't think they had this on the menu either last time Now I'm back at the table and my dunkel has arrived and look at the size of this beer It is bigger than my head. Oh my lord. I love coming here because you can't get these outside You can only get them in here and it is massive So post and we're gonna be posting a lot once the entertainment actually starts so get ready for that Here is my first plate. I didn't get a lot of each item I just got one of each so I got some potatoes. I got some of the roasted pork with the applesauce on top. I have a little schnitzel some of the sausage and then also the German Basically pot roast and this is new this wasn't on the menu when they had the family style It was actually on the menu for the buffet and they brought it back thankfully because a lot of people were asking for it Since that's something that we didn't have when we tried the family style I think we're gonna try it first here, and it looks really good. It smells good. Just like pot roast, but German style Oh look the show is starting Oh Here comes the cups world after all It's a small world after all. It's a small World know if you guys know this, but I'm the poker king of the Midwest It's time again Okay, that is so much fun, and I love when everyone's chanting and everyone's Prosting I didn't get to eat a lot of my food because I was too busy watching the show, but now we'll get to the food So the pot roast was very very good, and now I want to try at least one of each item So I have a little bit of a schnitzel a little bit of the sausage a little bit of the roast pork and the meatball right there And we're just gonna dive in Most of these items they had Actually during the family style the only thing they didn't have was this pork and the pot roast before so now we're gonna try The roast pork with the applesauce. I put that applesauce on there I mean, I think it just goes hand-in-hand, but look at it looks so so good It is so good I love this and I love the Franken noodle It's basically like a German meatball and they had these last time and I remember I liked them a lot So I made sure to grab one to throw it on there got to go with the meatball Now we're gonna dive into this schnitzel and I love schnitzel look at that perfect This goes well with applesauce as well I think I like it on the roast pork a little bit better, but got a little applesauce at a schnitzel might as well That is really good Now I had to go grab some potato pancakes these looks so good and these were not Available for family dining either Unless you ordered it for like the kids because I don't know if they had like a kid selection when they did that I should have asked because now I know during any of those family style donnings They do have kid offering so maybe this was one of them and now I'm gonna try it for the first time Potato pancakes also get applesauce feel like a lot of pork and potato items go good with applesauce And wait till you guys see the desserts on the buffet Those are probably my favorite here because there's so many also I didn't get a pretzel roll I just realized that now. What am I thinking any who's alright? Here's the but here's the potato pancakes We're gonna try it here. Oh Yeah Those are some good potato pancakes now not as good as like the fair potato pancakes because you know Everyone's got a local fair where you know they have their potato pancakes stand and those are phenomenal These aren't as greasy. I think they might have been pre-fried and then baked But they're still very good a nice blend of seasoning in there and I would get these again But there's they're meant for the kiddos, but I'm a big kid Now I think it's time we head on up to check out the dessert area I would finish up my beer and get another one, but I think one is good enough for the day a whole leader I just like holding it. It's so fun And I love when they actually ask you to pros and everyone just raises their glass. It's so fun The atmosphere is amazing in here And here is a look at the desserts. We've got black forest cake, which looks amazing I remember actually having this last time I was here and then we've got a brownie with a little pretzel on it Just grab a little little brownie there. You got to bring it on in bring it on in And then we've got Bavarian cheesecake a blueberry crumb cake, which Absolutely don't mind if I do gonna pass on the Bavarian cheesecake though. There we go Put it right there and then the best thing yet The warm apple strudel Grabbing a piece from the backside here We'll slide it in there and then the vanilla sauce got all the vanilla sauce right on Perfect That's the way I Feel like I didn't dive a lot into the food itself only because I was really focused on the show itself And now I kind of want to show you all of the desserts. So I think we'll start off with the Warm apple strudel because that is my favorite. I already know it because I don't think they've added any additional desserts Maybe the pretzel brownie. I don't think that was here before but we got a little bit of each so we can try them The apple strudel with the vanilla sauce tastes like a nice warm apple pie With vanilla ice cream it is so good and I remember it being my favorite last time so we're gonna start off with it here Starting off with my favorite first Now we're gonna dive into the black forest cake. Look at this. It's got like a nice raspberry on there So so good and we got an accidental Little vanilla cream sauce on there, too This was also really really good The cast members here are amazing. You guys bring so much joy and happiness I love it, and it's such a great atmosphere. So thank you so much Oh, yo, what thank you Now we are all done with dinner and it was so good I am a little bit full and it got dark out So I think we're just gonna keep on moving along through world showcase now. Maybe head back I would love to write test track. Hopefully it's still 20 minutes, but we'll find out when we get over there Before we head back out in the world showcase I wanted to stop into some of the shops here in the germany pavilion and show you all the cool pumpkin things that are already here Take a look at the pumpkin spice chocolate cream. This is liquor right here 17% but I just like the bottle on its own. Isn't that amazing? It's $38 and it's just so cool looking Man, I might actually want to get one of these not right now because I don't want to carry it out with me and its glass If the pumpkin liqueur isn't your thing They do have another pumpkin offering that I think is really fancy, and I think my mom would like it Maybe some pumpkin spice worthers. Isn't that fancy $9.99 and it looks like they're all about sold out Except for this last bag here. I mean they're selling a lot of them. They even have caramel apple ones, too Holy moly. I didn't see those ones before We're gonna get moving along. I didn't want to grab the worthers right now, but maybe I should hopefully they don't sell out I think they might be around for a little bit if you've ever had pumpkin spice worthers. Let me know what you think I think it's kind of fancy. It's like really unique, but maybe something I'd send back up to my mom I cannot believe it 25 minute wait almost two hours later It's still no wait like it says 25 minutes, but there's no queue in there Don't mind if I do honestly. This is amazing. It is a walk on there is nobody in line to ride test track Everybody is just walking right in that is so crazy. Isn't it? Since I'm a single rider I just went up the single rider line But the fact that there's nobody in the stand by means there's gonna be nobody in the single rider line This is the wait for this line and I'm gonna do single rider So I just kind of walk right in but it's almost the same thing. Like they're just moving along with I am too It's just nobody's in front of me See how your designs hold up now Commencing Simcar off road in extreme weather Look at that, that's real fancy We saw those blue lights that we saw from Marvul in the other night and it was test tracks and now we get to see them up close And just like that, I think we are done here We got to be able to ride test track with only 20 minute wait even though We didn't do it the first time around we came back out. It was still 20 minutes Well, it was a walk on it wasn't even 20 minutes So I don't know why I keep saying 20 minutes, but overall, what did you guys think of the buffet? I'm sorry to go too full in the detail with the food I figured I've already covered it a couple of times But I just want to give you the gist of it all and the atmosphere and everything like that So let me know in the comments if you guys would rather the family style stay Or are you happy the buffets are reopening again? Anywho's like I said, I think that's gonna do it for me. So I hope you enjoyed the video I enjoyed making it. We'll see you next time. Bye
