    Welcome to the table Happy Platers!

    Traveling in large groups to Walt Disney World poses unique challenges, particularly when it comes to securing dining reservations. Today we discuss some strategies to enhance your chances of getting the dining experiences you desire for your group and list the WDW restaurants that can accommodate large parties. 

    Additional tips for dining with large groups:
    Consider dining during off-peak hours to improve your chances of securing reservations.Attempt to book online at 5:45 am EST and if necessary, call the reservation line when it opens at 7:00 am EST. Some Disney Springs restaurants may have availability withheld. If unable to secure a reservation through Disney, try using OpenTable or contacting the restaurants directly.If unable to secure one reservation for your entire group, consider splitting into two smaller reservations. When checking in, request to be seated near each other.For reservations requiring prepayment, such as Cinderella’s Royal Table or Hoop Dee Doo, remember to prepay for everyone unless you're on the Dining Plan.Book reservations based on popularity, not the chronological order of your trip.Ensure all members of your party are present to be seated.Now Taking Reservations for the Chef's Table on our private Facebook Page called "The Happy Platers* make sure you head over to the new Facebook group and join us at the table where we can discuss in-depth our Disney Dining tales.  We are very excited to have the opportunity to interact more with our Happy Platers and hear your thoughts on all things Disney Food.  Click here to join: HAPPY PLATERS
