I honestly don't mind the shared tables at all. In this period of time, I do though if that makes sense.So everyone who avoids Biergarten bc of the shared tables do you avoid Japanese/Hibachi as well?
Agree . we only have been there once and we had 8 people. So we had our own table. But I saw them seating families together and we never booked again. I love having conversations on buses, monorails, in lines, etc with people I don’t know. I don’t want to eat dinner at a table with people I don’t know. Similar at Sci fi. I will only eat there when all 6 of us go since they keep putting 2 people with us in a car when there’s 4. I’m looking forward to booking sci fi in September if I can get in since I know they won’t be seating someone else in our car with us.I never minded the buffet at Biergarten, but I hated sitting with other people which is why we avoided it. I'd have to see what was offered in the family style meal, but it might be an option for us now assuming they will now only seat a single party at each table.
Ehh.. apples and oranges to me. I didn't love the shared tables at Biergarten, but enjoy Teppan Edo/hibachi. At Biergarten, you're seated across from people and almost feel a sense of forced conversation since you're in close proximity and there's just music around. At Teppan Edo, or any other hibachi, its more of a dinner show and you're seated in a U shape. Its easier to keep to yourself in that atmosphere, if you want to.So everyone who avoids Biergarten bc of the shared tables do you avoid Japanese/Hibachi as well?
Spätzle. Dessert variety. Kids foods. Basic foods. One benefit of Biergarten was that if you have picky eaters who may not care for German food, there was always something you could find for them on the buffet line. I imagine that in a family style atmosphere, there will be less variety and the food will be primarily the authentic German foods that picky eaters won't care much for. Plus, I'll miss the other aspects of the buffet where I could go get myself as much or as little of something as I wanted, and wasn't at the mercy of a server to bring me more. If its anything like past Ohana experiences, it doesn't always go well.Other than that, what items could you possibly miss from that buffet?

I feel certain that they will have kids foods available upon request like they do at Ohana and Garden Grill. I certainly will miss the buffet but in todays scary times a buffet wouldnt be safe anyway so I happy to still be able to get my German food!Ehh.. apples and oranges to me.

you cant technically sit with strangers in the current rules for the state that of course could change, but right now it's not allowed. I'm pretty sure Disney has to follow the same rules but I could be wrong.So... family style, but you are still forced to sit at tables with strangers?
I have only been here once, and it is when there were actually 8 people in our party, so I never did experience the strangers among us. That wouldnt even bother me much, but having to do family style with non party members just seems super awkward.
Buffets actually are huge profit centers, so from a cost perspective they would want to bring them back.Dang it, Disney! I'm sure what they bring to your table is going to be much more limited than buffet choices. I'm also sure since they will save tons of money on family style service, they won't be brining back the buffet. Ugh.
PROST oh the many times my wife and I have gone she orders the 1L realizes it fills her so I basically get 2 1ls good for the rest of the day at epcot.We are planning on booking it. Love the food so not worried too much how it’s served and what is served. As long as there is beer !!
Aw, I wish I'd met you at a shared table! I can think of a ton of questions to further the conversation with a local!yeah that's how i understand it now no mixed seating anymore, no more awkward conversations when people ask where you are from you say down the road and they don't have anything to talk to you about
Curious why? The cars seat 2 x 2 x 2, and they wouldn't put another party between your two rows, and since everyone is facing the screen there's no need to have a conversation outside your own party, right? Heck, it's not all that easy to converse among your group!Similar at Sci fi. I will only eat there when all 6 of us go since they keep putting 2 people with us in a car when there’s 4.
anytime once we can socialize if I'm there id be happy to meet up with anyone from the boards.Aw, I wish I'd met you at a shared table! I can think of a ton of questions to further the conversation with a local!
Otoh, I was in a casino with my brother when a time share spook asked him, "where are you folks from?" He responded, "two miles that way." and they left us alone : )

Yeah we don’t believe in “kid food” there is no such thing. Do people really think kids worldwide eat chicken nuggets.They eat what adults eat.What do you mean "kids food"? All of the food there is good for kids. My kids could not get enough of the schnitzel and spaetzle. Not to mention the sausages. My youngest ate about 6 of the fruit compotes each visit. We called her an old lady. LOL
