ADR's? Dining with BIG groups?

[MommyBryn]

So I've seen posts about people making ADR's months in advance (recently I was one like SIX months ahead of time?!?). We're going with a HUGE group of family, together but apart, if that makes sense. There's be about 4 families, about 22 people at minimum. We're not likely going to attempt to eat many meals all together (I know my family, parents, and grandparents are getting the dining plan though, so we may at times), but if we did try, is there anywhere for a group that big?? And I'm assuming that's something that would require ADRs? How far ahead does that need to be done? (we're going mid-Jan) We've never made ADR's on our vacations in the past.

We always go with big groups, my family always seems to tag along on my vacations! We've gone once with a group of 22. You'll need to call Group Dining at 407-939-7707. You can eat anywhere, just know that your group will probably be split up. It's not a big deal, it's usually two tables right next to each other. You can make your ADR's on the same schedule as everyone else (90 days right now, until the system upgrades are done, 180 days out after that), but they'll usually ask you to take either the first seating or the last seating of the meal with a large group. First seating is good, especially at buffets, because you know the food is fresh and hot, and last seating can be fun if you're the last people in the restaurant, we've done both. Happy planning!
