Greetings, Tracey! I'm so happy to welcome you back to planDisney and thank you for visiting us with your question.
It sounds like you and all your pals are planning a spectacular group visit to Disneyland Resort from Australia! How magical! With a travel party as large as 80 Guests, my recommendation is to reach out to the
Disney Meetings & Events team. They may be able to assist in identifying some options, including dining and
specially-priced tickets for eligible groups. Alternatively, if you are planning an educational group (such as a school or youth group), you might wish to connect with
Disney Imagination Campus. I'm hoping that one of these resources might be a useful place to start as you continue to make plans for your entire cast of characters!
In the meantime, Tracey, I think
Goofy's Kitchen is a fabulous place for dining as a large party, even if you have to break into smaller groups. I've dined there with a group of friends and it was so fun to see the characters come around to all our tables and greet us during our meal together. Generally, dining reservations can be made up to 60 days in advance. I should also mention that Guests from Australia might also benefit from the services of a trusted travel agency that specializes in Disney vacations, as they often know the most effective ways to navigate travel and reservations to Disney Destinations in the U.S. They might even be aware of special offers and discounts only available to Guests in your country!
I hope this has been a helpful start, and that you can continue getting all the logistics sorted for your large group travel! I'd love to welcome you back to
planDisney any time if you have questions in the future. We'd love to see you again real soon!
Magically yours,
Tishra
