Your large group will definitely have to check out 1900 Park Fare.  It is another great character dining location where guests can enjoy breakfast and dinner services.  The meal is served buffet style, which is definitely a great bet for large groups so that everyone is sure to find something that they like.

3. Spirit of Aloha Dinner Show – Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort

2. Hollywood & Vine – Disney’s Hollywood Studios

This is another character dining location where the meal is served as a buffet-style meal. These types of meals are great for large groups so that you don’t have to worry about whether everyone will find something that they like and enjoy for their meal. The location changes the theme based on the season so the costumes the characters are wearing, the menu and theme of the event may be different from the last time that you dined there.

1. ‘Ohana – Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort

This is one of our favorite large group locations. ‘Ohana means “family” so it is the perfect place to share a meal with all of your loved ones.  The restaurant seating can accommodate large groups and the meal services are served family-style with the food brought to table but you can ask for more of anything that you want. The breakfast service is a character dining experience, while dinner has musical entertainment without characters. Both of the services are amazing and we recommend that your family try both!

About Christy Caby

I am a diehard Disney fanatic! I fell in love with all things Disney from an early age and that only increased once I first visited Walt Disney World! It led me to complete a yearlong Disney College Program working at merchandise locations within Disney’s Hollywood Studios (Disney-MGM Studios at that time) and I worked for Disney Parks & Resorts Technology in Project/Program Management. Now I get to write about Disney and help others plan their magical vacations! Disney holds a special place in the hearts of my entire family as my husband proposed there, we honeymooned there, took trips while pregnant with each of my boys and have visited with them many, many times from 8 weeks old through now. One of my favorite memories from each trip is always the look on my kids’ faces the first time they see the castle. I’d love to help you plan your magical vacation!
