Hi there, Kelly! Thank you so much for visiting planDisney, and it'll be an honor to help you continue to plan for your upcoming visit to Disneyland Resort!
Your countdown to the magic is almost here and your trip will be here before you know it! It sounds like you're planning a wonderful dining experience at
Storytellers Café for a large group. That sounds like an absolute blast, if you ask me! It is true that some
table service dining locations limit the party size for reservations made online or through the
Disneyland mobile app. Instead, what I've seen many Guests do is make two reservations of 6 Guests each (for a total party size of 12) at or near the same time. Then, visit the restaurant early on the day of their reservation and kindly make the special request that the Cast Members seat your party together or at tables very near one another. While it isn't a guarantee, my experience is that Cast Members are happy to accommodate whenever they can.
Now, Kelly, you may need some help from another adult in your party to make the second dining reservation for your large group. This is because the reservation system does not permit a single Guest to hold conflicting dining reservations. So, you'll need to request that someone else in your group make the reservation online or in the mobile app under their MyDisney account and keep the confirmation number handy so you can reference it on the day of your visit.
I know this sounds like some tricky logistics to work through, but I hope that your plans come together in a practically perfect way! I have a few more
tips for dining at Disneyland Resort with a large party, in case they prove useful for your planning purposes. In the meanwhile, I wish you all a spectacular visit full of lifelong memories! Don't hesitate to come back to
planDisney if we can help with anything else in the future.
Magically yours,
Tishra
