I love the Germany pavilion!! It's important to note that for those who have not eaten at the Biergarten restaurant before, the tables seat 6-8 people if I remember correctly. So if you are by yourself or just two or three people, you might end up making new friends!
Aurora Cody great info to add. The wife and I had dinner there one night and we had fun meeting a great family from Colorado. It sure didn’t hurt that we all had liters of beer 🍻
I was talking to a co-worker that was in the military and stationed in Germany. He was telling me how a fast food restaurant had much less seating than those here in the states and it was common for a stranger to sit at your table. The large tables may be by design. Glad you mentioned this as it was just a few days ago the he and I were talking about this.
Why eat there when you can go to the houfbrau house in munich
So it's a lot like Oktoberfest or fruhlingsfest would be! But probably a little toned down, haha
We love the Germany Pavilion at Epcot, the architecture of the buildings is beautiful and the miniature trains are definitely a highlight!
Yeah Germany is beautiful. Neben dem Europa Park und dem Phantasialand haben wir halt auch Kultur zu bieten :D
And Holiday Park, Hansa Park, Erlebnispark Tripsdrill, Heide Park, Frezeitpark Plohn, and so many others
@@CrazyWharf625 You can skip the Heide Park :D nothing works there XD but yeah we have so many good theme parks and the Halloween Event at Movie Park isn't that bad either
Shinigami Minecraft i mean Colossos and Krake, and i guess Flug Der Damonen, look good
Yeah but never forgett mainly only bavarian people wear Lederhosen the rest of germany does not ;) And no we don't eat our Bratwurst with Sauerkraut and don't hang a pickle on the christmas tree
I said it before and I’ll say it again THANK YOU for doing this series!!!
When I was little my mom would take me into Christmas shops like that but she would call it the hands behind your back store! So I wouldn’t break things
Claire Hernandez my parents did the same thing! Antique stores too
Same here! My mom would always say "Look with your eyes, not with your hands"
lol
My problem as a german with the Germany Pavilion is that it portrays most of southern germany, especialy Bavaria, sooooooooo as someone from the northwestern part I feel kind of underwhelmed with the pavilion. To give you an idea what it feels like - imagine a USA Pavilion - but it's mostly based around Texas, all you see is Cowboy hats and boots and wild west stuff. This is not a critique of your video Tim - just my personal problem with the representation of germany shown at Epcot (and from reading the comment section I'm not alone). Other than that - great vid and hope you and Jen stay save in the next few days.
The American Adventure Pavilion is not far from your example: it's a Colonial-era New England piece of American History (reminiscent of perhaps Philadelphia), which is pretty limited both temporally and geographically as far as being representative of the country and its many cultures. The pavilion on display exists today *only* in historical tourist attractions and museums.
It would be interesting to try to mitigate this effect by creating a mixed-culture presentation that blends elements from all over each country represented in the World Showcase, but doing so in a way that is still coherent and recognizable might be a challenge.
Yes. I wanted to comment the same thing. But I think the picture americans have from Germany is good represented. I also Never heard of the pickle in the tree thing, but I‘m also from the northwest of germany, maybe that‘s why. Don‘t get me wrong I love the video, but it is quite far off from actual Germany.
As a Canadian I understand your feelings 100% Our Pavilion represents the west coast with its mountains and streams and waterfalls and then parts of Quebec thanks to Le Cellier. The rest of my amazing country has no representation there at all. Its quite sad.
I think that goes for all of the pavilions in Epcot. I'm from Berlin, but still I could totally identify with a lot of the traditions shown in the Germany pavilion. And as far as I can tell, they did a pretty good job on the things they are showing! So it definitely is a display of southern Germany, but a pretty accurate display of the different foods, building types, traditional crafts etc.
I feel like this about the UK pavilion. I’m from Scotland and Scotland isn’t represented at all expect for the fact you can buy a Scotland sweatshirt. It’s mostly England/London that is represented which sucks because London is a tiny part of the UK
When you've been watching Tim Tracker long enough, that your reaction to the laser cut photos is, "That's pretty neat", at the exact time that Tim says, "That's pretty neat".
I went to Germany when I was in college and fell in love with a bottle of Apfelkorn (German apple liquor), but let's just say that it did not love me back. When you were showing the wines in the pavilion, I spotted Apfelkorn (bottom shelf, far left) and immediately got a bit green. haha
I love how Tim still refers to EPCOT as EPCOT CENTER. I miss those days so much!
As we call it and spell it over hear in the UK it’s called Toffefee and they are AMAZING. 😁😁😁😁😁😁
We also call them Toffefee in Denmark and they taste so good😁
Canada as well.
It is a German sweets brand, and in Germany they are called Toffifee. They also come in very different packaging. Strange that the German sweets you can buy in the German pavillion aren't the original German versions.
Tofifay is a single hazelnut, within a bit of praline creme within a tiny caramel bowl with a lil bit of chocolate on top!!
*Toffifee
I’m sold.
... and once you start eating them, you won't stop anymore.
*tofifay is the spelling on the package tim found!
It is probably due to trademark rights? its funny as Storck and Werthers are the same company.
Reminds me a lot of Frankenmuth in Michigan but in MI its a whole entire town.
Ahhhh! What a coincidence that we were in World Showcase last night & we got treats from the caramel store! I fell in LOVE with the butter bar. Life changing stuff!
I was there last night too at that caramel store and bought some caramel popcorn. It's delicious. Sad I missed ya Tim.
they should call it the bavaria pavillion lol
Said to another person who kind of argued the same thing:
Yea, I think they're trying to represent highlights and the most representative aspects of countries. Even the American pavilion is basically just based on Washington D.C./originating America, and nothing else. It goes for all of the pavilions, but I don't think they were trying to be non-inclusive. They have to pick and choose or else the pavilions would be either very scattered with small sections or giant in size.
It's a fair thing to say. Kind of annoys me personally, despite being American, that the America pavilion has the huge building and main show but almost all of the other countries don't really have anything but shops. I think it was well-made for what it is and what they had.
Bavaria is the best part of Germany and Disney knows that.
@@tonedpeter ?
as a through bred German, my family and I go to the Germany pavilion every trip. Its a great taste of my culture and mother always says how it reminds her of home! Its also fun because my mom always talks to the staff in German!!!!
Germany almost had a ride! Maybe one day they'll build it.
Just as soon as they make a german movie
The ride was a boat and the launch area is still hidden behind that wall in the Summerhaus. Maybe one day but for now it is a storage area.
@thetimtracker Was good to meet you in Old Port Royale today
They had the chance to finally make a ride when Tangled was released and turned out to be a big hit, but they didn't. :( Instead they only put Rapunzel's miniature tower near the miniature train ride.
Like Snow White or Tangled
As a person who has actually been to Germany, they are pretty spot on with the designs of older buildings.
It's true! I'm German and when I visited I was like 'good job Disney, pretty much every old town center or market place in Germany looks like that' 😂👌
It amazes me that the German Restaurant STILL does not serve German Potato Salad!
I believe they did back in the 90s for awhile, but havent served it since. Why??!!
Greetings from Canada My husband and I ate at the German buffet years ago. Thank you for some fond memories. We call our granddaughter toodles. You're never too young to start loving Disney. 🤗
Tim...please take the time and talk to a cast member at the crystal store about the $37k castle. It's fascinating! I learned so much. We spent probably 20-30 mins learning about those castles.
So loving this series of videos, I clicked so fast. It was a little strange however how you pointed out the fact that Germany has no attraction, because I thought you were going to touch on the fact that originally there was going to be the Rhine River Tour with the entrance being where the snack side is next to the Bier Garten. I wish Disney would have revisited this idea later on and actually added it. Also, now that there is no Snow White's Scary Adventure in the Magic Kingdom, and so many IPs coming to Epcot, it would be cool if they tore down that mural and added a new version of Snow White's Scary Adventure to the Germany Pavilion. There's still a good size show building back there, and I don't think the Bier Garten uses that entire space.
Ooh! I would love a Snow White ride in Epcot!
Busch Garden Williamsburg has a German Rhine River tour like you are describing
I have worked there as a cultural representative from summer 2013 to summer 2014, so thank you so much for this throwback 😊 I miss it every day
My husband gets an etched glass with a character on it every time we go on vacation to Epcot. He does that while I get caramel snacks and beer. Love the Germany pavillion.
We love the pickle tradition! We do it in our family. Me and my siblings are all adults now and we still get competitive over who is gonna find the pickle first!
That bathroom is the quietest bathroom and nicely decorated in showcase I think
Toffifay is amazing and has been available in Canada for a very long time! Its one of my childhood faves, and when I was a kid at Christmas time my dad would always get either a box of those or turtles for each of us girls in the family. Caramel half dome that has a whole hazelnut on the inside with some hazelnut cream and then a chocolate button shape top.
The "mountain horns" are called Alp Horns and are an ancestor of the french horn!
Me: "I wonder why I've never gotten a stein from World Showcase"
Tim: "$135"
Me: "Oh yeah, now I remember"
I loved the food and beer!! The band was super fun and we met the coolest people there!! Definitely the highlight of my trip to epcot!!😋😍
That family at the end was from Maryville! That’s where I’m from!
Germany kinda is mainly beer and food. That's why I love it so much 😀
Toffifay is amazing!! You can buy it at like Target in the candy aisle though, you don't have to get it from Disney. Similar in taste to Ferrero Rocher but with that nice caramel taste and so much better. 😍😍😍
These pavilions vlogs are so much fun😍 Just a little German lesson... V in German is pronounced as F so Volkskeller is pronounced Folkskeller. You and Jenn has been a beacon of light for so many years for us.
Yes, and 'Kaufhaus' is pronounced like 'cow f house' not 'coffhouse' 😉
There WAS going to be a ride in the German pavilion but it ended up being scraped. The wall next to the restaurant where the mural is, would have have been the entrance.
Stupid Eisner. He also canceled the Africa pavilion as well.
A whole Werther's Original store sounds incredible. In the UK they're kind of stereotyped as an old people's sweet. But at 23 I proudly always have a couple at the bottom of my bag.
Love You Guys ! Your Vidoes Makes Me Feel That I'm In DisneyWorld Again
OpTic StArScReAm me too! That’s why I watch every time they post haha
My favorite pavilion. I love the pretzels. But my favorite thing to do is watch the trains!
3:07 they're good. It's a little caramel bowl with a hazelnut and a filling, then has a bit of chocolate on top. I recommend them
I'm not a beer drinker, but I did try the grapefruit beer in the Germany pavilion - not bad! :D
Toffifay is awesome. It is like a hazelnut, wrapped in Werthers, then topped with chocolate.
Cool :) I have dad the German Buffet and a Flight , 5 different Beer's at the Beir Garden with family about 8 year's ago, fun :)
had
I love how thorough you are in the gift shops!
Hey Tim. Regarding the Toffifee. These are caramel cups containing nougat, caramel, and a hazelnut, topped with a chocolate button. They are absolutely lovely but once you started eating them, you can't stop anymore.
Thank you for these Epcot videos. When I was younger I didn't care too much about world showcase, but now I think I would love spending a day there just looking at everything.
I'm always grateful when you do these. When I go I may not have time to see everything. You fill in the blanks very nicely. Thank you.
Traversable at 0.46 is my new favourite word.
Really like these World Showcase nation tours. Since it's always go, go, go when I'm in the world I blow right past most countries, but they have some neat stuff!
Germany is AMAZING a lot of beer there too thank you for all the cool videos making me miss Disney in Florida living overseas in Asia is Amazing too.
Karmel Kuche, my husband and I were the first customers!!!
Okay I gotta know where this German restaurant is now. The best German food I’ve had was a place in st Pete, but have yet to find one in Orlando.
Every time we go to the Germany pavilion, we have to get the Carmel Popcorn there. It is amazing, it tastes so good
I love Disney video plz do more they are so awesome
Toffifay has been sold in the states since the Mid/late 70's.
When my wife and I were in WDW in February 2017 the beer garden was my wife's and my favorite restaurant.
The Toffifay candy is a must try if you've never had it....they are so good.
Saved now, watching later. We are going to be eating at the restaurant in Germany in a few weeks! Cant wait and also hope we bump into Tim and Jenn!!
Yum Werther's Original! FYI Toffifay is amazing. It's like nutella and caramel had a baby. It's so good, my little old lady loving candy heart is beating hard! 😁😁😁
The architecture of the pavilion is really beautiful. Thanks for doing these videos, helps with the planning !
I love watching the Trackers, always great when a new video hits while I'm online! My fiance is most excited for Germany, so I am excited to watch this with him!
I Iove Karmel Kuche - it is a must do every trip to get one of the milk chocolate covered sea salt caramels!!
We really like these Adventures Around the World Showcase videos! Those better be some special nutcrackers for $210! Very impressive that Tim can still take video while it is pouring rain.
wow one of my fave places at Epcot i love the Christmas store the best and i love the steins and the ltd edition of snow white bauble wow
tim, that large mural in the archway when you go into the summerfest was actually supposed to be an entrance to a ride that was supposed to be included when epcot opened in 1982. the sponser backed out and it was never finished, but behind that is a large area that was to be the load. its used for storage now but it can easily be opened if they decided to put a ride back in.
i could be mistaken, but i think it was to be a boat ride down the rhine river depicting all of germanys areas, from mountains to the cities. picture a circlevision movie found at other pavillions but in a boat
I live in Virginia where bush gardens Williamsburg is, we have a big dining hall just like that place! Funny
Im surprised they didnt have a big german chocolate section
I just want you to be safe in this hell of a storm that your in keep us updated if you can much love to ya.
@11:18 you are looking at Leberwurst (liver pate) and Fleischwurst (sausage which mostly is sliced up and used as meat in bread rolls / sandwiches)
I was there in 2005. Wow Germany has changed. There was a chocolate store when I was there and you could get a little box sample of Ghirardelli chocolates and Toblerone that you don’t see in stores.
Thanks for the comprehensive look at the pavilions. I really like this series of videos.
How can anyone dislike Tim and Jenn videos. They are the best you tubers. Thanks for all you do.
Toffifay and Knoppers are so good!!! Toffifay are candies, a hazelnut coated in chocolate then caramel. Knoppers are like chocolate hazelnut wafer cookies. :D been eating them both my whole life!
Yes more of this series
We have Toffifay here in Canada as well except it is packaged in a box similar to a box of chocolates. It's a whole hazelnut surrounded by caramel, chocolate hazelnut filling and a drop of chocolate on top. They are VERY good!
All the people avoiding the rain is so funny to me! Here in Washington state we don’t mind it, even if we are without a rain jacket or umbrella.
We have a town here in Michigan what German roots called Frankenmuth. While you were walking around the pavilion it reminded me of the town. In fact I am going there this weekend. It has a store called Bronners that is nothing but Christmas that is ginormus. And it is only closed 4 days a year.
Julie Dailey The Fam Frankenmuth is the best!
My family’s favorite country...we visit every time we go to WDW. The Biergarten is our favorite- we like eating here around Christmas bc the food and show are awesome! Try it again in December. Love your vlogs! I watch every time I’m homesick for WDW.
Looked like a fun time in Germany.
Danka Schoen Tim!
I anxiously await every edition of this World Showcase Exploration.
PROST!!
I love how Time totally butchers the 'Karamell Küche' store name (Caramel Kitchen in German).
That candy shop was not doing my diet any favors 😂 Now, I want something Carmel-y delicious!
Oooh love the wood carved frames. I had no clue they were in Germany. Awesome vlog series guys.
praying that y’all will be ok during the hurricane!! please keep us updated!! great video tim!!
Yay! Love World Showcase!
I love taking this virtual tour during Covid!
When I saw him the store with the football gear, and head towards the Dortmund stuff. I was like Tim no go for Bayern.
My wife surprised me with a glass Oswald statue from that stand. I love it.
Hey Tim and Jen I watch You guys everyday and you inspire me to be funn and kind and I just wanted to say I’m a Disney fanfic to thank you for all you do
What about if you would do a "trying German candy" video? Would love to see that😍
A toffifay is essentially a hazelnut surrounded chocolate and toffee if I'm remembering it right. It was super good and not overly sweet
My husband proposed to me in the Biergarten on my birthday! This place is so special to me!
- It's more like the Bavarian pavillion to be honest.
- When I lived in the US (I'm from Germany) I heard about the "pickle on the christmas tree tradition" for the first time.
- Nobody says "Bierstein", it's "Bierkrug".
Still funny to watch. The outside is pretty cool.
Nice work under the umbrella! Your work is the best
The "stuff" in the salad section is most likely liverwurst. My in-laws are German (my parents-in-law came over in the 60's to work in the U.S.), and that's a pretty typical type of cold salad/appetizer spread. My sister-in-laws _love_ liverwurst. I find it icky. :) i actually really enjoy the Biergarten- nice break from the heat and all the walking and really quite good for a buffet and nice selection of traditional foods. And of course the beer is really awesome! I've tried to buy lederhosen and dirndls (the traditional female dress) for my kids and they're crazy-expensive, even in Germany. Most of the pieces are handmade and time consuming to work, and the dirndl usually has extensive embroidery on it. Thank you for the tour, Tim!
Amy Brockway-Jackl we call it braunschweiger. It could be either.
Hey Tim, I hope the German Restaurant you're referencing is the Willow Tree Cafe in Sanford!! Their big Oktoberfest is this weekend, you should come check it out!
I enjoyed fresh rolls thank you family for your intervention....yes I do have choices with my citizenship....
Hello everyone! Have a lovely day!
Have a lovely day all the way from the UK!
You too
Hi! Sending love from the UK. xoxo
Toffifay is some of the best candy ever!!
As a German: The beverage prices ARE INSANE - half a liter of beer is usually about 4 to 5 bucks and the food was just straight up insulting
Toffifay are delicious. Chewy and soft. We have them in Canada too. Try them if you like hazelnuts
Interesting fun fact... The painted mural wall in Germany pavilion by Summerfest was the entrance to the planned, but never completed Rhine River boat ride.
Love this video! This looks like a pretty area! I especially love the Toy Store and the miniature train set! That caramel store looks yummy too! Thanks for sharing!
