Planning a trip next March and our family is large (there will be 19 of us). Is it even possible to book dining reservations online for a party of 19? Or do we have to call? We are not concerned about having one big table to seat all of us, just would like to be sitting close together.

Are there certain restaurants that do not take reservations this large?

We are hoping for:
Sci Fi Drive In
San Angel Inn, Mexico Pavilion
Biergarten, Germany
HomeComin'
New Space 220 restaurant (if it ever opens)
50s Prime Time
The Plaza, MK
Tony's Town Square
 
My family is quite large and this site helps me when planning. Some restaurants like Biergarten and Homecomin will allow you to book 1 reservation for large groups. Others, like Tonys and Sci Fi will require several smaller reservations. Usually they are able to seat us together or close to each other upon arrival.

of course this is all pre covid. I am hoping next March is back to “normal” for our trip too.

It definitely is harder now due to limited tables at restaurants, and everyone competing at 60 days instead of at 180 days when not everyone has booked their vacations. Also, you can currently book a party larger than 10 at some restaurants but would be split up into smaller groups.
 
I booked 6 & 6 in mid Feb...sometimes I did 6 &4&2...if you arrive early enough at the podium they will try to seat you close by each other.. Ex: at Trattoria we were 6 & 4 at another table close by..originally we planned for 12 but ended up 10 went to BWV....at 5:00pm at Tiffins at AK they seated us 10 all together as the restaurant was very empty....park closed at 5pm....excellent dinner...after that some of us went other directions so we were only 6 at Cal Grill....good luck...I think you will be calling MS to plan for 19...
