Large group dining

[mickeyfanz]

I am going to WDW next Spring with a group of around 20 people. I know we will have to make our dining Pss through Group Dining but was wondering which restaurants tend to accomodate larger parties better?

If you have ever been with a big group, please share where you ate and how well it worked for you.

You may not be at one table but they will try and put you at tables near each other.

LTT, CP, Cindy's, Tony's, Concourse St., GF Cafe, Citricos, Konas, Ohanas, WC, AP, Yachtsmans St, Nine Dragons, Akershus, Biergarten, Marrakesh, Bistro De Paris, Yacht Club Galley, Boatwrights, Jiko, Poly Luau, Mama Melrose, Brown Derby

We just came back from our Grand Gathering--there were 14 of us in total. We only did two large group meals-CP and CM. If you go through Group Dining you will be limited to the first or last 20 minutes of the seating. Both places were able to seat us together and it was a blast. We were seated in the areas where it is booth-type seating along the walls. The only downside was our fault--at CM all the kids seated themselves and not at the table with their own parents so I have hardly any pictures of my oldest DD with the characters and way too many pictures of my nephew and youngest DD At the next character meal we made the kids sit at the same table as their picture-taking parent.

Thanks for the help so far. Anyone else with first-hand experience?

Have been to Disney a number of times with 27+. Although they could not always put us at one table we were always seated right next to each other and it actually made for better conversation. Had good experiences at Whispering Canyon Cafe and Liberty Tree Tavern both on Thanksgiving, both served family style. We didn't fare as well several years back at Fulton's Crab House.

When we were just with 14, we did a buffet at Chef Mickeys with two tables and one table at Alfredo's in Epcot. Both worked out fine.

Good luck!

HI, Whenever we dine with other families in WDW we have chosen Cape May. Seating is great there for large groups and the buffet is wonderful! Joan

Hi - on Dec 23, 2003, we went to Chef Mickey's for dinner as a party of 23. They split us into two huge round tables. Hope that helps.
