Large Party Dining

[DisneyVirginia]

My DB (after just a little coaxing) is now going to WDW with us, making our party a total of ten, including five adults, a teenager, three kids and a baby. Who has experience getting a good table for a family this size, and where did you go? We are looking for buffet-to-$25/entree quality. Need several ressies. Thanks!

A party this large can be a bit tricky sometimes. We have found many of the table service meals (that are not family style) have service slower than small ones can handle when your group is this large. I've had the best luck in buffets or family style meals. Boma was good, so is Cape May Cafe, and Gullivers (at the Swan). We've had good lunches at Olivias at OKW. We had a dinner at Le Cellier last year and it seems that for our group (7 adults, 2 kids that time) we were in there for an hour and a half, maybe longer. I suggest for table service meals look to eat at off peak hours as the service is usually better. Have a wonderful time, we do at our annual reunions!

We ate at Cape May Cafe (at the Beach Club resort) with ten people and they put us all at one big table. This was one of the best meals we had at Disney. Food was delicious and varied enough to satisfy everyone in our party.

A really pleasant walk from Epcot, also!

Thank you for the help. Off-hours is an excellent tip. We have waited quite a long time, too, even with PSs, for the sit-down restaurants during dinner time to accommodate us. The Cape May suggestion is a good one; that is one of our absolute favorites--glad to hear you got one large table.
