Large group dining in Disneyland Resort area

[cseca]

Wondering if anyone have any suggestion on what is the best way to book dining for a large group? 15 people

I checked DL online dining and only several restaurants seem to be able to handle that size group.

Would calling the DINE number be any different?

And does anyone know if the online reservation would allow me to book 2 reservations under the same name?

One last question, what time does the DINE number open? 24hrs?
Thanks a bunches.
Sorry for so many questions.

I would just send the request via e-mail to dine@disneyland.com.
Just include:
•Name of restaurant
•Reservation date
•Time or meal period (breakfast, lunch or dinner)
•Total number of Guests in your party
•Your name and contact phone number

Or you can call the dining reservation line at (714) 781-3463. They are open from 7am to 9pm (PST) 7 days a week.

Per the Disney Parks Blog entry for the announcement of the new online dining system, I don't think that dining e-mail address will help:

"With the new online booking option, the dine@disneyland.com email reservation service will no longer be offered..."

Thanks everyone.
Seems like calling is the best way to go then. I was just hoping I can do it myself

I e-mailed a question the disney dining e-mail the other day, and received a response, so assumed it was still active for inquiries, etc.

OP, the online system will book reservations for large groups, so I am not sure why you would need two separate reservations.

OK. I too thought they might still be a communication line. I guess I just interpreted your initial response as a suggestion to try to book through that e-mail address, and I didn't think that would work anymore.

I figured if she provided the usual info, they would be able to tell her if the reservation was possible or not and then direct her accordingly to get it booked.
The weird thing is is that the Disneyland Dining info page does not provide a link to the automated system at all and only suggests the e-mail and phone # still.

Yeah, I'm looking for BB and Goofy's.
Unfortunately both of them says "The party size too large".

I booked a reservation at the Plaza Inn for the Minnie and Friends character breakfast for 33 people, so I'm sure you can book a party of 15. I called (714)781-3463 and they connected me to the Plaza Inn direct phone line. The person I spoke to was very nice and answered all of my questions. Also, I called 60 days in advance. Good luck!

Definitely call. We've done Goofys with 20 people.

I'm nervous waiting for the call back from BB...
The email doesn't work anymore and the dining number sent me over to the restaurant directly.

Last December we were a group of 15 adults, I rang 60 days out and booked both GK dinner and BB. Both accommodated us without any problem. Just ring and speak to a person. Good luck, our party had a wonderful time.

Thanks so far nobody has called me back
I'm going to wait until around 8pm est and leave another message.

Well, apparently they don't like me or something because the GM just said no luck.
I should've just make several online accounts and make reservations that way because after 2 days of heartburn all I get was "Sorry, we're booked.".

Sorry for the rants.
