Julie, so great to have your question with the panel!
I love, love, love big group trips to the
Happiest Place on Earth! I’m a big believer that the more, the merrier, especially at a place like Disneyland Resort.
When it comes to the
Disneyland Mobile App and linking tickets,
another panelist was able to confirm that you can link up to ten tickets on one Disneyland Mobile App. And with a group of only eight, you should be fine to link all eight tickets on just one account. However, I would recommend maybe selecting a second person as backup; Both people can add all eight tickets (as you can add the same ticket to multiple apps).
And if you are looking for a nice place for lunch with a group that size, I love suggesting the
Hungry Bear Restaurant in Critter Country. The upper level of this location is fantastic because you can enjoy gorgeous views of the Rivers of America along with your meal!
Have a great time – and don't forget to make the most of
Genie+ by taking lots of Disney PhotoPass pictures.
Best wishes,
Lola
