Dining for 9

[disneyfox]

I am going to WDW in Dec with a party of 9 can anyone tell me if it is going to hard to my ADR's

Are you going near the Holiday season? Christmas to New Years? If not you should have no trouble at all. And if you are going over the holidays, just be online at 6am on your 90 day mark and then have backups ready in case you can't get your first choices.

No I am going from Dec 5th to Dec 13th and I read another post where people were worried about a party of 5. I have never been with a party this large before so I did not know what to expect. Thanks

We have traveled with a party of 9 before and most places could seat us together. We had no trouble getting spots, but there were some places where we needed to split our party (Coral Reef, Mama Melrose are 2 that I remember).

I've never traveled with 9, but I have with 7.
We even got an ADR the day before on New Year's Day...I think it was the only one left though.

Also, I got all my ADRs for 7 next week within the 90 day mark...and I'm still finding availability for my dates. Even with Summer crowds as opposed to Value early December crowds.
I don't think you'll have too much trouble, just decide what you want in advance and call or go online as soon as the ADRs open up.

Just like any other ADRs you might have to be flexible with times, but don't worry too much.
Also, keep in mind the ones that fill up quickly regardless, and try to get them first.

I am traveling with a party of 9 in September (free dining) and easily got all reservations I wanted within 30 minutes of the times I wanted!!

Including:
Biergarten
Crystal Palace Dinner
Donald's Safari Breakfast
Whispering Canyon Cafe
Hollywood & Vine/50's PTC (splitting up this day)
Ohana Dinner
Chef Mickey's

We were told we'd have to have 2 tables at Ohana.

Not a problem at all. I just made my ADRS about 2 weeks ago!!

Thanks to you all for responding. With the change in the reservation window and the larger party I was starting to stress and I am not able to make my ADR's until Sept.

I also was able to book everything I wanted for our party of 9 during free dining. We got:
Chef Mickey's
'Ohana
50's Prime Time
Teppan Edo
Donald's Breakfast Safari
Biergarten and
Le Cellier for dinner!

I don't think you should have a problem so long as you do your ressies online at 6:01 a.m. Eastern. That's what I did and I'm very pleased.
