How to book a group-dinner after a swan ceremony.

[vlkleinh]

Looking for restaurants with private rooms for a group of about 20 (including 6 young children) for a lunch or dinner after our swan ceremony.

I honestly know nothing about private/group dining. Do you just pay the menu price for whatever you order with a gratuity included?


Is it possible to book a disney reception without having a DFTW?

Really we are just looking for a dinner where we can have a toast or two. Don't really want to plan a reception. Are there any disney restaurants that have a dance floor in case some guests feel like having a dance?

If you have details about specific room sizes, I'd love to hear it...can't see to find anything but general reviews.

Thanks!

Hi vanessa, hopefully someone will be about to help with Disney, were having a private meal at the dolphin, details are available on their website (under private dining) we have them found very helpful!

Hi,
My fiance and I are planning on renting out a private reception room at Shula's (Dolphin) for our wedding dinner. We are getting married at a venue off property. From my understanding, there isn't a fee to rent the room you just pay for the food and drink plus tax and added gratuity. Shula's has a few set menus but I'm still waiting to hear back from group dining to see if I can customize it. I know that all the restaurants at the Dolphin have private rooms. Here's a link to the site.

I had my reception at bluezoo which is in the Dolphin. For private dining, there is a separate menu and you pay a set per person price. My dinner was around, I think, $109 per person. There are cheaper options at bluezoo. I think the cheapest is around $60 per person.

Tax and gratuity is IN ADDITION to the per person charge.
