    Introduction Post & 2 Questions

    Hi everyone... this is my first post here. I'm a Northern California Native and pretty much have taken yearly trips to DL all my life. I didn't get to go last year though - total lack of funds... I'm taking my next trip in November.

    Where do you all get your cool little countdown tickers?

    If you were to take a group trip to DL (probably about 10 families) where would you go for a group meal together? Can they accomodate us for brunch at Goofy's Kitchen?

    TIA!!!

    Welcome.... Great time of year as long as you don't want to go to on GRR or plan on going over the Thanksgiving weekend.

    I'm not sure where I'd go with a group that large.

    hahaha... we'll probably go on it anyway, in fact, I'm secretly hoping for maybe a little tiny bit of rain! I hate the heat, last time we went in October and it was still too hot for me. It's 103 here, and that's pretty mild for the summers here, but it will be much colder here in November than in SCal.

    Last time we went with the large group thing, I arranged a dinner at Storytellers, let me tell you, it was FABULOUS!!! They really went above and beyond the call of duty to set up a great dinner for us, special menus, special prices, lots of birthday buckets for our babies. Amazing staff, wonderful everything! I am just hoping to be able to do something again this time, but it will probably have to be breakfast, brunch or lunch instead of dinner. I don't mind if we get a cluster of tables rather than one large table, as long as we can all hang out at the same time. I guess I'll call the dining line and see what they have to say.

    November is a great time to go to the parks.Not too crowded or hot, plus you get the added bonus of the christmas theming and hmh.All the buffet type places are good at accomodating large groups.You may have a little more trouble sitting together in the park restuarants,but who cares it's good to have a little personal time away from the group.10 families is quite a large group maybe you should invest in a flag and nametags like the groups of foriegn tourist.
    ...the value of an idea has nothing whatsoever to do with the sincerity of the man who expresses it.

    you're the second person to ask about travel arrangements for large groups in less than a week. I can't believe they don't at least have SOME answer over at vacation planning for people like yourself, even if it isn't as well put together as magical gatherings is at WDW. Try giving them a call, let us know what you find out!

    if you don't get any answers from vacation planning or the travel company, i'd be very surprised.

    well as to the food, you could always overtake the outside seats at the Pilots grill in DCA, i can see it now:

    We are the large group, DCA, all your chairs are belong to us!

    OR

    just buy your food, go to the tiki room and bam there ya go instant seats A,C and food all in one =P
