Hi Cindy,
Won't your son have a fabulous birthday celebrating at Walt Disney World! And to make it even more special, nearly all of the restaurants should be able to accommodate a group of 16.
I'd take a look at all the
dining options that your son would like and when you are 180 days out from his birthday, you can call to make the reservations. However, if you are staying at a Disney resort, you can make 10 days worth of reservations when you are 180 days out from your
arrival date. With your large group, I'd call 1-407-WDW-PLAY to help with the dining reservations.
If you'd like some ideas for restaurants that are good fits for large groups, www.disneyfoodblog.com has an article on that topic. Just do a search for
Best Disney World Restaurants for Big Groups. And of course, we are happy to help out if you have any questions about the restaurants.
By the way, did you know you can order your son a birthday cake? Just call 407-827-2253.
