    Why am I not able to make reservations for my entire party of 12?

    Hey there, Lindsey!

    Thanks for being our guest at planDisney today! Based on your November 23 arrival date, I'm guessing you're hoping to secure dining plans for your group. Advance dining reservations and Enchanting Extras experiences can be booked 60 days ahead of your arrival, so you should be right in that sweet spot to get your plans secured.

    If you happen to be staying at an eligible resort, you can book dining for your length of stay (up to 10 days) at the 60-day mark. If you're not staying on property, you can make reservations one day at a time as the calendar reaches 60 days out. Reservations can be booked online or by using the My Disney Experience app. I usually search for my desired restaurant first, then review availability based on my travel dates. I love that guests can now search for dining times across a 10-day window, which makes finding your perfect meal time even easier.

    Since you have a larger travel party, you may have difficulty booking a single reservation. But not to worry! If you are willing to divide and conquer, you should be able to secure a few smaller reservations at overlapping times. I recently walked another guest visiting with a party of 12 through the process here.

    While I can't guarantee Cast Members can seat your entire party together, it never hurts to arrive a bit early and ask. In most cases, they'll be happy to work a little magic based on table configurations and space. I'm crossing my fingers that you'll all be able to feast together. The more the merrier, and the more opportunities to sample the menu, the better! My pal Mandy also shares some great recommendations for spots that can usually accommodate larger parties if you need other options.

    Lindsey, if I've misunderstood your question and you need help with another type of reservation, please come back and let us know. We're always happy to help!

    Wishing you a magical visit,
    Amy
