Places for a group to congregate

[teri]

OK, I am looking for suggestions on places for a group of 20+ to congregate at DL, DCA and DD. I know some outdoor places, but we also need to be thinking of indoor places, or at least covered places in case of rain. Suggestions?

Pinocchios Brau Haus at DL is indoors it was pretty big inside. That's the only thing I can think of right now.

We did that last year, in the rain - it was very crowded but it worked in a pinch.

Examples of places I have in mind.. for inside congregation (not for food or drink).... Grand Californian Lobby, waiting area at Goofy's Kitchen (can be inside or outside), Animation Studios... ???

Outside -- Riverbelle Terrace, New Orleans Square, the food court at DCA, the creole restaurant terrace at DTD, the bakery seating area at DTD close to the main gates.... ???

Special food places -- Blue Bayou, Avalon Cove, Storybook Cafe, Goofy's Kitchen, Riverbelle Terrace, Plaza Inn... ???

Inside play at DL, the DCA preview area. It's where the exit of Great Moments of Mr Lincoln is. It's to the left of the entrance, before the hat shop. It's a great big relatively open indoor space. On rainy days you'll often find people sitting along the walls trying to get away from the rain. It's a great place to meet up. Another good place is the Hungry bear restuarant downstairs by the bathrooms. Even if the restuarant is closed there are some tables to that are not ropped off (those on the way to the bathroom, as they rope off the rest of them when it's not open. This is covered by not inside. (meaning that it may be cold or hot, but you won't get wet)
