Any recommendations? Why are you choosing/did you choose your location for the rehearsal dinner? What are the pro's and cons?
Depending on your party size, a lot of restaurants won't promise you seats all together unless you make a reservation for when they open or their last seating of the night. I have 35 people and that was the case at most places. Some of the Downtown Disney restaurants have private rooms, but have a higher min for peak times (Fri at 7:00). We ended up picking a catered dinner at White Hall---at least we will be able to hear each other and can take our time. Also, with a catered event, you can change the menu around to fit your needs. Some of the dinner menus at restaurants for large parties are set and you can't change things, you don't get the full menu to choose from, just a few items.
I have heard there are problems at Ohana getting seats together. The best feedback I've gotten so far was from anything at Wilderness Lodge, they seem to really try and work with you. They also answer the phone, or call you back asap.
