Hi there, Linda!
Thank you for reaching out to planDisney. I have friends who visit Disneyland Resort every Thanksgiving. They love it! They usually book a special dinner on Thanksgiving to celebrate the holiday. Blue Bayou Restaurant, Lamplight Lounge, and Carnation Cafe are some of my favorite dinner spots! Dining reservations can be made up to 60 days in advance on the Disneyland website or Disneyland mobile app. It can be difficult to find dining reservations for more than 8 Guests in my experience. Whenever I am traveling with a large group, we split up to make dining reservations. At least 2 adults log into their own MyDisney account on the Disneyland Resort website and each person makes dining reservations for part of the group around the same time. We arrive early at the restaurant and ask to be seated together. Shared seating is never guaranteed, but we have not experienced any issues with this request as long as we were patient.
I often visit Disneyland Resort with friends and family, and I understand your interest in getting a discount for a large family gathering.
Group discounts are typically limited to business and educational events. I am sorry! However, seasonal ticket promotions are frequently posted on the
Offers & Discounts page. For example, a 3-Day Disneyland Ticket Offer is currently available through September 26, 2024. Ticket promotions for later in the year have not been announced at this time. Keep an eye on the Offers & Discounts page, as well as the Disney Parks Blog and Disneyland Resort social media pages, to see if any offers become available for your travel dates.
Disneyland Resort VIP Tours are the ultimate experience! The VIP Tour Guides provided my family with unforgettable memories during our Disneyland Resort VIP Tours in the past. They are always kind and helpful, and many VIP Tour Guides enjoy sharing park trivia, which I love! Disneyland Resort VIP Tours are typically limited to 10 people in one group. In my experience, groups with 11 to 20 Guests require two VIP Tour Guides. Disneyland Resort VIP Tours currently require a minimum of 7 hours and a maximum of 10 hours, and the hourly rate depends on several factors, including the time of year. The holidays are a popular time at Disneyland Resort, and my VIP Tours during that timeframe were on the higher end of the price scale.
I suggest calling a VIP Tour Coordinator at the number listed on the
Disneyland Resort VIP Tour page under "How to Book" towards the bottom of the page. You can also email DisneylandVIPTours@disney.com. I usually call because I like exploring options and discussing costs with the VIP Tour Coordinator over the phone. The phone line is generally open from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM Pacific Time.
My biggest tip for Disneyland Resort VIP Tours is to share your priorities with the VIP Tour Coordinator before your trip. Accessing a reserved viewing area for fireworks at Disneyland Park is my top request! It is not guaranteed, especially over a holiday weekend, but we have enjoyed reserved viewing for different Nighttime Spectaculars and parades during every tour. It just depends on what activities are most important to you!
Linda, have a magical Thanksgiving at Disneyland Resort! We hope to see you real soon!
Magic Happens!
