Meal for 13 people!?

[Tymeece]

Has anyone made a reservation for a lot of people(13) for a meal? I have extended family that all want to get together for a meal during our Disney trip. We think Ohana for brunch would be great. Does anyone have a suggestion of a place or experience booking for that many? Any advice would be appreciated.

I have seen big groups at Boma, Biergarten

Some years back 9 of us ate at the Boathouse; we enjoyed it.
Have fun wherever you find yourselves.

Via Napoli/Whispering Canyon, etc. also good places for a large group which we have been to. We have had 14 people and once 16. We have had to make two reservations - try to get same time or 15 minutes apart. We then check in early and let them know we are together. Most of the times they have been able to accommodate us.

I hadn’t thought about the Boathouse. I will put that one as a possibility

I was thinking we would have to do 2 reservations or call to see if they could do one together. Whispering Canyon is always a good time.

I have regularly seen larger groups at Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue.

ETA: Checking just now, for example, there are multiple reservation times/dates open for 13 people at HDDR between day after tomorrow and next Friday....

I booked for ten at Il Mulino at the Swan. If you look at the Swan/Dolphin website, you can get a direct phone number for it.

Just remember if you do 2 (or even 3) separate ADRs to get everyone reserved at the same restaurant, you'll need multiple people to be the lead guest on the dining reservations. One person can't make multiple dining reservations at the same time. We had a similar situation last year, had 2 ADRs for most of our nights, then got to the restaurant a little early to check-in and request that we be seated together or very close together (you have to ask at the restaurant - calling Disney dining won't help). All but one of the restaurants (Beaches N Cream) had us sitting together at the same table - they really do try. But I will say 13 will be a challenging number!! I absolutely agree with Boma - we've had as many as 21 together there! Plus it's an awesome place for a family dinner. Good luck - hope you have many meals together!

Buffets in general are great for large groups. Ohana would also work well.

I've done 9 at Ohana no problem.
