Howdy, Lu Ann! Thanks for returning to the Disney Parks Moms Panel with another great question!
I love that you are planning to make your
dining reservations well in advance! With a large group of 13, advanced planning is going to be the key to a successful and stress-free vacation. Online, you may find reservation availability for your entire group to be a bit limited. I did a quick search and only found tables for 13 at a few restaurants in the Disneyland Resort Hotels. Further, the system won’t let the same account make multiple reservations at the same time at the same restaurant. So you won’t be able to split up your group into multiple reservations online. However, if you call the dining reservation number at (714) 781-3463, a friendly Cast Member will assist you in booking a reservation for the entire group or splitting up the group into separate reservations.
Some of my favorite places to dine include Blue Bayou Restaurant, Carthay Circle Restaurant, and Wine Country Trattoria. Additionally, we recently dined at
Naples Ristorante e Pizzeria in the Downtown Disney District and had a wonderful time. They had balloon artists that created a really cool Rapunzel for my daughter while my husband and I sipped on a sangria flight and enjoyed people watching from the second floor patio of the restaurant. Plus, since we were staying at a Disneyland Resort Hotel, we were given a slight discount on our meal when we showed our room key!
I hope this information was helpful! Please stop by again with any other questions you may have!
