Be Our Guest Reservation for a large group

[Kellie2584]

Few questions for some veteran Disney-goers:

Has anyone gotten a Be Our Guest reservation 180 days out for a group of 6 adults and 7 kids?
Two of the kids are infants- so would it better to leave them out when making the reservation so it's for 11 instead of 13?

I saw something where if you are staying at a Disney resort, you can make your reservation 10 days prior to the 180 day mark- is this true?

Lastly, is it better to call or try online? Anyone have better success with one over the other?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

1. Some have had success breaking up their parties into two smaller groups. At 180 mark though I dont foresee you having a problem though if that's your first ADR you make. And you have to include infants in seating even if they are free.

2. You can make your reservations 180 days PLUS 10 days (or length of stay) so you dont have to wait for each day to pass to make reservations for that particular day.

3. Online opens at 6:00 a.m. Phones at 7:00 a.m. Always try online first as you get a 1 hr jumpstart.

Breakfast, lunch, or dinner?

For breakfast and lunch, just make three or four reservations; it's open seating. For dinner, try to book on your 180 day, and look for a date late in your stay.

Thank you very much!

We wanted to go for dinner and yes that is a good idea to try and get one later in our stay. We aren't picky about when we go. We just want to be able to eat there this time!
