We have a group of 10 coming to WDW in July (My wife and I and our 5 kids [one of which is an 18 month who would be in a highchair]; my parents, and my sister-in-law). I have plenty of experience booking dining for smaller groups, but we've never been to Disney with a group this large. I've heard of two strategies for booking for such large groups. The first is to make reservations for two smaller groups (such as a group of 6 and a group of 4) as close together as possible then, when you arrive for the reservation, politely ask if the two groups can be sat together. The second option would be to call the phone number for dining reservations and ask for "group dining".
I was wondering if anyone had any experience either way with this and could shed some light on their experience. I think most places we want to go (Mama Melrose, Yak and Yeti, Liberty Tree), we'd be okay if we were not all at one big table, but we are hoping to also do Hoop Dee Doo and I'm not sure what we may need to accommodate there. I see most places online won't even let you book that big a reservation online. Can you through calling? Or will they just book two smaller reservations anyway?
