Large parties at BOG (dinner)

[MichellT]

Anyone have experience with this? We have 11 people and like everyone under the sun, want to eat at BOG. Today was our 180+10 and there was plenty of availability ... for four :-(. We grabbed two reservations for four and one reservation for three in the same timeframe (within 10 minutes). But with 5 kids and 6 adults, this won't actually work.

Has anyone tried this and gotten sat at least somewhat close together? Or should we just scrap this whole notion. Thanks!

I think you'll find people who had success and people who didn't. What it's going to come down to on the actual day is whether or not they have (2) 4-tops and (1) 3-top open in the general vicinity of each other.

Hey, maybe you should call the disney dining line and see if they can scrap that ressie and get you guys one altogether, sometimes talking to an actual CM will help you. I remember reading somewhere that for parties bigger than 9 or 10 should call, so maybe doing that will help.

Yes! We had almost this same situation. Dining can't do anything (I tried too many times to count!). Talk to the host at the check in. Let them know your situation. We all sat together in the back of the rose room. Basically there's a wall of booth seating so the just pushed a couple of tables together. Our reservation was 630 I believe and I went to the podium around 4 to tell her our situation and was there any way they could seat us all together or close? She said she was 99% sure it wouldn't be a problem and just remind her when we checked in.

Thanks for sharing your experiences! We tried calling and Dining was no help so we'll follow the suggestion above to go to the podium well ahead of our time to tell them of our group. Thanks!
