Hiya Vanessa,
Welcome to planDisney! I’m sorry you are having difficulty booking reservations for your party so far. I am all about Disney dining, so I am super happy to help you navigate making advanced dining reservations for Walt Disney World Resort.
My Disney Experience and the
My Disney Experience mobile app technically allow you to make reservations for up to 20 Guests at once. Still, unfortunately, most dining locations aren’t equipped to seat large dining groups (above 8) all together in the same reservation, in my experience. This might be why you are having difficulty finding a table service reservation. Since your dining party is over 8 Guests, my suggestion is to call a Cast Member at (407)-939-7529 to make advanced dining reservations. They would be able to make dining reservations based on your group size and verify if your party size is the issue or if the location is unavailable. Just make sure that you already know what
locations you would like to dine at, what days, times, and additional options if your first choices are not currently available. Note Cast Members may need to split your dining party into multiple groups for the same dining time (or within 15 minutes of each) to accommodate the space of the dining location. If you would still like to sit together as a group during your dining time, you can request to be seated together as a group of 10, but you will need to wait to ask this with the Cast Member at the dining location when you check in. Cast Members cannot always make this happen, but if they can accommodate a large table, they will do so.
I hope you can secure all of the dining reservations you dream about for your trip! If you would like any dining recommendations or need help with anything else, please come back and see us!
Happy Planning,
Ashley F.
