Welcome to planDisney, Robin!
A group gathering at Walt Disney World sounds "practically perfect in every way!" I always say it’s never too soon to start planning a vacation to the Most Magical Place on Earth...well, except in this case since reservations that far out cannot be made right now. While you are a bit early to get pricing for 2023, I must say that I like your style!
With an estimated 30 to 50 Guests in your party, I'm thinking that you are going to need some accommodations, dining reservations, and park tickets. Fortunately, the friendly Cast Members at Group Sales (407-939-1942) will likely be able to help you with all three once you get closer to your desired dates. Even better, they may assist you in making your
advance dining reservations as opposed to you contacting the restaurants directly. Disney definitely has a
diverse assortment of restaurants, and the main challenge will be to find ones that can accommodate a group your size as I’m sure you are going to want some shared meals together. But if anyone can pull an umbrella out of a Magic Carpet Bag like Mary Poppins, it’s Group Sales!
Another cheeky option would be to plan a catered event with
Disney Meetings and Events. I am certain that once their offices reopen soon, they would be able to “step in time” and arrange a dining event for your crew. Peruse the website and if something piques your interest, you could always go ahead and fill out the online
Request Form.
Robin, come back to planDisney as you work to finalize your vacation plans. After all, PLAN is in our name! Wishing you a vacation that is "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!"
