Which 3 restaurants for a large group

[Julie Amber]

We'll be visiting the parks with a large group again in May. We'll have about 15 of us.

We're looking for:

1 TS at Magic Kingdom
1 TS at either Hollywood Studios or Animal Kingdom
1 TS at Disney Springs

Last time, we did BOG and Raglan Road. They were both absolutely fabulous. Just want to do something different this time. We aren't interested in a TS meal at Epcot because we'll be there for Flower and Garden and plan to eat at all the food booths instead.

Thanks for your help!!

For DHS, 50s Prime Time would be fun and is also divided into smaller sections where your group could be together in one room even if not at the same table. OTOH we had a group of 9 at Mama Melrose a couple of weeks ago, and there’s a section in the back that would be conducive to a larger group.

I second 50s prime time, they have several sections with 3 or 4 tables ( sitting 4-6 people each) and could fit you. We just had a wonderful visit in early December.

magic kingdom - Tony’s too noisy, and i feel tables farther apart
liberty tree- hard to get a reservation, maybe an early or really later dinner and have snacks
I would book the WAVE at the contemporary resort for like 8pm ( especially if no evening fireworks at MK) and take the 10 min walk over for a great seafood, or steak meal

Our group of 11 did Hollywood Brown Derby and it was great. Relaxing for the adults and the kids enjoyed the kid’s meal.

For DS I’d do boathouse if you want great views and food, or maybe try for T-Rex if you want something fun for the kids.

AK I’d stick to QS. Satuli, Flame Tree or even Restaurantosaurus work for larger crowds.

Clarification- we are a group of all adults. So, take that into consideration when making suggestions . Adults with adventurous palates. Thanks for all the suggestions so far!!

For MK you might consider Skippers Canteen - it’s our favorite in MK for both ambiance and food. The Wave in CR is also good for food, but the decor and ambiance aren’t nearly as much fun.

For food in DHS, I’d rate Brown Derby above Prime Time, but for fun Prime Time Cafe!

Will all these places allow your group to sit together? We have a party of nine and last year Homecomin sat us at two different tables without telling us that when reserving. The food was great but we wanted to all be together.

For the week leading to this past Christmas, Homecomin’ was the one reservation I could book online for our party of 9, as one ADR, and they sat us together at one table. We were offered inside or out when we checked in. I had to call for all the rest, which were booked as 2 ADRs but seated together (except for Sci-Fi, which of course doesn’t have tables that large). At Homecomin’ and all our other ADRs we made sure all of us were there, and I checked us in in person so I could tell them we were 9 who would appreciate being seated as close together as possible. I’m sorry Homecomin’ didn’t do the same for you - we had a wonderful meal all together on the covered patio.

I second all of these. We eat at Disney with family in large groups regularly.

MK is easy, Skipper Canteen, is the best 1TS for adventurous eaters. It's likely the easiest to get a reservation of that size. We also love Liberty Tree, but it's really a one trick pony (Thanksgiving meal) and would be tough for such a large party I'd think.
HS - Mama Melrose was a shocking surprise for us the last time we were at HS, the food was really good and they had a wide variety for everyone's pallet. They also have room for a large party.
AK - 1TS, you just have Yak and Yeti... There is always Sanaa at AKL KV, which is close and has unique food options.
DS - Boathouse is our favorite by far, but it's a 2 TS. Art Smith's is second and The Edison is fun and unique. The Edison is seriously a mixed bag of reviews when it comes to the food, but we did have a good Prime Rib there.
Other options, Whispering Canyon at WL is good as well.
If Boma were open, that would be another one and Sebastian's (currently closed as well) at CBR is very good as well. A short Skyliner ride away from either Epcot or HS. Both have unique flavor profiles.

AK also has Tiffin’s and room for a large party. We like Yak & Yeti but Tiffin’s is our favorite in AK.

We did a party of 12 at Homecomin. Tiffins should also be able to seat a large party.
