ADR for 15 people at Xmas????

[Ariel70]

Hi, all. Newbie here.
My entire family will be staying at WDW the week of Christmas. Although we may not all be together at the same time, I know that for a couple of meals there will be 15 of us. How easy is it to make ADRs for large groups of people or should we try to break up our party into 2 or 3 smaller groups when we dine? Will we have limited time slots? I know Christmas week is the busiest of the year so I am trying to be prepared to make ADRs 180 days out.

Also, any ideas where we should go for Xmas dinner?

You may have to go through Group Dining with 15 people.

It's easy to made ADRs for 15 people is you call soon enough. It's hard to get everyone to agree on a restaurant, though! I made ADRs for our 12-person Grand Gathering last August. I asked each adult to pick their top-3 restaurants and then ranked them all according to the most popular down to the least popular. I made sure that each person got one of their top-3 restaurants then I made ADRs for all 12 people. Sometimes you have people who poop out at the last minute and don't want to go. Don't worry! Just tell the CM when you get there that you only 11 instead of 15.

I really liked Christmas dinner at Chef Mickey's (even though we're not Christian) because they had special dishes in addition to the regular ones. I bet your kids would like it too. If Wishes is not too late you can watch it from the Contemporary after dinner .

We went over Easter and had a party of 16 and even 18 on a few nights(a couple extra friends). we no had no problem w/ dining. We went to HDDR, Coral reef, Chef Mickeys on Easter, etc. My friend is a DVC member--I think he made adr's through Group dining. Good luck!
