Hello Margaret, and welcome to planDisney!
Summer vacations at the Walt Disney World Resort will be extra magical this year because the
50th Anniversary Celebration continues. You can take part in the festivities by enjoying the new nighttime spectacular,
Disney Enchantment held nightly in the Magic Kingdom. Indulge your taste buds by sampling the offerings listed in the
50th Anniversary Sips and Bites Guide. It’s not a party until you’ve had cake. The full list is available in the
My Disney Experience mobile app, so you can refer to it while on the go.
You will be able to make your
Advanced Dining Reservations starting tomorrow. If you are a Guest of a
Disney Resorts Collection Hotel, you can make your reservations for the entire length of your trip, up to 10 days.
Liberty Tree Tavern in the Magic Kingdom is one of our family’s favorite table service experiences. The menu offerings are delicious and satisfy the picky eaters in my group. The pot roast is better than my grandma’s family recipe.
When I travel with my extended family, we usually break our entire party up into groups of 6 or less. This makes it easier to find a table. A Guest can only have one reservation at a time at a restaurant, so you may want to enlist the help of some designated planners in your group. If everyone makes their reservation for the same, or nearly the same time you will all get in. When you arrive to check-in with a Cast Member for your reservation, advise them of the names of the smaller parties that are all together. There are no guarantees, but they may be able to seat all of you near each other. Remember all Guests who plan to dine at an in-park restaurant must have a valid admission ticket and park pass reservation for Guests ages 3 and up. Dining reservations do not guarantee access to a theme park.
You will be making so many memories with your group that I would advise you to purchase a
Memory Maker, to capture all those precious moments. Anyone connected in your My Family and Friends list who shares their My PhotoPass Photos with you, will be able to upload their photos to your Memory Maker account. You can then download, print, post and share your photos with everyone after your vacation has ended. But your memories will continue to live on.
I hope this helps with selecting your dining reservations. If you have any more questions before you arrive, please come back and visit us again.
See ya real soon,
Andrea
