Hi Patricia! It’s nice to hear from someone who lives close to us.
Your family reunion at Walt Disney World will be a memorable vacation.
I would recommend the International Dinner and Illuminations Dinner Reception which is a
Grand Gatherings Experience. While this requires 2 table service credits, you would be able to enjoy a really special event utilizing your deluxe dining plan AND your party size. This would be a memorable experience.
In December, I enjoyed dining at The Brown Derby (Hollywood Studios) and Artist Point (Wilderness Lodge). Both of these places were wonderful in accommodating our large group.
Dining in Cinderella’s Castle is always magical. I’ve been here a couple of times with large groups. While the dining experience is wonderful, we have always had to seat at separate, nearby tables.
The Biergarten in Epcot’s Germany can be a fun place for a group. You are seated at long tables which works well for a large party. At dinner, entertainment is offered with some audience participation.
The Cape May Café at the Beach Club does very well at accommodating large groups.
Contact Group Dining at (407) 939-7707 as they are very helpful for large parties (13 or more). Note that a credit card must be used to guarantee your reservation and that there is a 24 hour cancellation policy. Policies change so please confirm.
Have a magical vacation.
