Hi Christine,
I am so glad to know that we have been a great resource for your planning! We are so happy to help others make their vacations as magic as possible with our recommendations and tips.
Traveling with a large party is loads of fun. We have done it on several occasions and always had a great time. I have a few suggestions for you to consider for dining in Epcot. My first is my family's "must-do" on almost every trip we make to Walt Disney World. That is the
Biergarten Restaurant in the Germany Pavilion. The buffet is hearty and quite delicious and even though it is "ethnic" food, if you will, my picky kids love many of the offerings. I also think this would make a great option for your large party as the seating is done at large communal tables. Smaller parties are often combined for optimal seating capacity. So, fitting large parties together, rather than split up, is quite possible here. Last, but not least, is the entertainment available throughout the day. You can dine while also being entertained by the Bavarian musicians. My kids absolutely love getting the opportunity to dance around, which makes this meal that much more memorable.
Another suggestion would be
Teppan Edo in the Japan Pavilion. This location also has tables that accommodate large parties and there is also an element of "entertainment" as you watch the chef's cook right in front of you, hibachi style.
I hope you have a marvelous time and you are able to find the perfect spot to dine and enjoy each other's company while making magical memories.
