    How to Travel to Walt Disney World with a Large Group

    2. Drive. Don’t fly to Disney. Sounds crazy, right? My traveling group and I live 1100 miles from Disney World—way off in the wild blue yonder (also known as the Lone Star State). We have found that driving is not only less expensive than flying, but it is also more fun! You’ll be able to start your vacation before ever getting to the par

    3. Yes, get Memory Maker. Memory Maker is worth the money, no matter what size group you’re traveling with. But it is a necessity when you are visiting the parks with a big group. It’s so nice to have access to those memories once you get back home—ride photos, panoramic (almost) PhotoPass pictures of the group in front of park icons (Cin

    4. Be kind to members of your group who are Disney rookies. We can all remember our first visit to the parks. It was magical. It was unlike anything we’d experienced before. It was exciting. It was also overwhelming! There’s a lot to know about Walt Disney World, and it takes a few visits and a lot of reading to feel comfortable about the

    5. Do not neglect reserving FastPass+ times. Yes, you have a large group, and if you’re hoping to experience the parks together for the most part, you need to be sure to make the most of your FastPass+ selections each day. If you’re staying on Disney property, you can do this 60 days in advance. If you’re staying off property, you can sti

    6. Be fair when you book. As I said before, get the group that will be traveling to look at Disney restaurants online if they’ve never been to Disney before, and let everyone make a list of dining experiences they’re interested in having. Then narrow it down with a vote or by drawing from a hat. Do the same thing when it comes to reservin

    7. Be very clear about financial responsibilities. This is one of the most important things to remember. Sadly, money issues can divide friends and even family members if there are misunderstandings about who is paying for what, etc. For example, if you choose to stay off property and rent a house, discuss splitting the cost of rent, fees

    8. Book your dining reservations as soon as the window opens. Booking dining reservations only a couple of months in advance is a bad idea, no matter the size of your traveling party. But when you have a large group, you can have a potential disadvantage if you don’t book as early as possible since restaurants can only accommodate a certa

    9. Begin planning your vacation at least 7 months in advance. Yes, 7 months in advance. That gives you and your group a full month to browse Disney dining experiences online and choose the ones you want to enjoy. Make a list of those choices, and have it ready when the 180-day dining reservation window opens.

    10. If you’re going with friends or another family, be sure to choose wisely. It hopefully goes without saying that even if you are friends with the family next door, if your family and that family are constantly in a competition with each other (who’s children make the highest grades, which kids are the star athletes at school, which fam

    How to Travel to Walt Disney World with a Large Group

    Let me start by saying that I have no idea how not to travel to Walt Disney World with a large group. Why? One simple reason—I have a big family (my four children, my husband, our nanny and me), and we always bring another family with us; no sense in being greedy with that kind of magic and excitement! We like to share Disney with anyone
