[Dawna]

We will be a party of 14 on the dining plan and I need to make reservations in about a week - do you know whether I should try to call or make reservations online?

Thanks!!

So plenty of options. I would recommend working which reservations are MOST important to you and start with those ones. Chef Mickey, Be Our Guest and CRT get booked very quickly. Also if you can't get exactly what you want, you can book it and then change or cancel it later.

14 is the maximum you can book for online, so you can do that if you are more comfortable with it.

We take 13 with us and we book by phone. Just makes me nervous booking for that many on line.We had to split into 2 groups for a ressie this time.
