Best restaurants for large groups

[Victoriapeluso]

Hi Family!
I am going to disney to celebrate my 40th birthday and 10th anniversary with my family- we will be 8 people ranging age 3-77 lol I have only ever traveled with smaller groups so I was wondering which restaurants were best for groups.

Thinking the german restaurant in epcot and via Napoli but other than that Id love some input! Trick is everyone is a foodie so we are more about the food than most people.

Thanks!
V

Biergarten was first to my mind as to yours, but our family of 9 had great times at 50s Prime Time in DHS, Homecomin’ at DS, and even at Beaches & Cream at BC (that was booked as 2 ADRs but they sat us at one long table against the wall).

Boma has big tables, teppan Edo the hibachi restaurant in Japan. California grill if you want more higher end.

Boma at AKL would be our preferred option, different food and great atmosphere.

Sebastian’s at CBR.

We’ve had 10 our last few trips and have been seated together at every restaurant except Sci Fi, and we do a lot of table service. Disney is used to large parties!

I don't think you'll have a problem with 8 at very many places....but I would avoid Le Cellier just because it's cramped even at a 2 top.

At one time I would agree. But we had 8 late last year and I was disappointed how difficult it has become. We actually got ADRs for 8 at Boma and Biergarten. Others we had to set up 2 separate reservations of 4 near the same time - fortunately, all but Beach n Cream were able to seat us together (we got to the restaurant early and asked to be seated together - and they do their best to accommodate). We dined at the same table with separate ADRs at CRT, Steakhouse 71, and Villa Napoli.

I've made a reservation for ten at Il Mulino in the Swan. I think I used Open Table, but can't swear to it.
