How tough to get ADR for 8 people???

[VernRDH]

We have had this trip planned since last October. Just recently, our friends decided that they would like to come too!! There are four of us (me DH, DD6 and DD5) and four of them (J, E, DD4 and DDjust born-will be 8 months at time of trip). My question is how hard is it to get a ressie for that many people? We(DH and I) had already figured out our ADR's (I posted them in another thread on this board) but I dont know if we will need to change where we are eating due to the size of our party???

We were looking at the following TS restuarants:
Biergarten
LeCellier
Whispering Canyon
Liberty Tree
Crystal Palace
Breakfastosaurus
Mama Melrose

Any help would be appreciated.

Since you're more than 180 days out it shouldn't be a problem at all. We had 8-10 people Thanksgiving week and 7 people for our upcoming trip. I called less than 90 days before and was able to get everything I wanted. A couple of times I had to change the time or be seated at two tables. As long as you call right away you should be fine.

When we went in December, we had 8 people and got ADRs for everything we wanted, but were told for some places that it might be 2 tables of 4. But actually, we always had one table big enough for all of us.

We're going in 6 weeks. My older son just decided to go with us, so I had to call to change our ADR from 6 to 7. We also decided to go on the dining plan so I decided to add a few new ones. I just called today and had no trouble getting reservations anywhere.

It should not be a problem at all
