Dining with 8 ?

[squirrel]

Can I use the regular Dining # for a party of 8? Can't remember if it changes at 8 or 10.

Anything else I should know about dining with such a large group?

I used regular number for my party of 11 with no problems.

Ditto the above. used it with 11 last year and 9 this year.

You will have to make Grand Gathering ADRs through group dining.

What number of people make a Grand Gathering then?

I would rather just do the regular dining number, which it looks like I can!

A grand gathering is 8 or more.

There are special events available to GGs not available to smaller parties. Some, but not all, are:

Breakfast at Tony's Town Square (the only 1 TS on the dining plan if you are doing it)
An Illuminations dinner/reception
A Safari
A fireworks cruise

I can't remember what else is available but look at the official site, it should list the options.

Thanks, some of those special events sound good.

Remember that you get automatic gratuity applied to every bill. The 18% really adds up fast. We get it at every meal with seven people.
