Hi Brian,
Welcome to planDisney! Congratulations on your Silver Wedding Anniversary, your granddaughter's high school graduation, and family birthdays—what a joyful time for your family! With so much to celebrate, let's dive right in to make this trip as memorable as possible.
You can begin booking dining reservations
60 days before your check-in date. Since you're staying at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort, you'll have the added benefit of booking reservations for your entire stay (up to 10 days) starting at 6 AM! Reservations can be tricky for a group of 11, so I recommend logging into the
My Disney Experience app or visiting the
Dining Reservations page on your eligibility date first thing in the morning to secure your desired times.
I have a few recommendations for dining to make your celebrations even more memorable. Start the day with a delicious Disney Character breakfast at
Cape May Café at Disney's Beach Club Resort, then enjoy a short walk to EPCOT for a day of exploration. For dinner, consider
California Grill at Disney's Contemporary Resort, where you can dine while catching a glimpse of the
Happily Ever After fireworks from the balcony. Another excellent option is
Narcoossee's at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, where you can enjoy an elegant meal with breathtaking views of the fireworks over the Seven Seas Lagoon.
The
Enchanting Extras Collection offers several fantastic options to enhance your celebrations. For example, you could surprise your family with a
Specialty Cake at one of your dining reservations or arrange an
In-Room Celebration with festive decorations. For an unforgettable group experience, consider booking a
Fireworks Cruise to watch Happily Ever After or
Luminous: The Symphony of Us from the water. Don't forget to pick up complimentary Celebration Buttons throughout your stay so Cast Members and fellow Guests can join in congratulating your family on these special milestones.
I hope this helps answer your question, Brian! If you'd like more dining suggestions or ideas for celebrating inside or outside the parks, please don't hesitate to
send me another question. Wishing you and your family a memorable vacation filled with smiles and shared moments!
Cheers!
Brent
