Hey howdy hey, Janessa! I am so happy to welcome you to planDisney! It sounds like you are in for a trip of a lifetime with your big crew!
I have done quite a few solo Disneyland Resort visits, lots of medium-sized group trips, and one large group of
friends-turned-family adventure, and I can tell you my all-time favorite was that big trip! We made so many memories together that rarely a week goes by without someone bringing up a moment from that amazing visit! And even though you said there is no special occasion, I truly think any day you get to visit Disneyland, especially with your whole crew, is automatically something to celebrate!
The maximum number of tickets per transaction through the
Disneyland website or the Disneyland mobile app is ten adult (10+) and five child (3-9) tickets. Since your group is over that, you have a couple of easy options! You can split the purchase into two separate transactions, or (my favorite option) you can call a
Cast Member ticket specialist. They can help make sure everyone has the right ticket type and confirm the
theme park reservation availability for the dates you want.
I am not sure when you are headed to Disneyland, but there is a super cool
Kids’ Summer Offer Ticket for kiddos ages 3 to 9. It is a Park Hopper Ticket for $50 per day, valid May 22 through September 7, 2026! That is a seriously magical deal for the littles in your party!
Something new that kids of all ages will love is the
Bluey’s Best Day Ever! show at the Fantasyland Theatre! I was at Disneyland this week with my 9 year old nephew, and he was clapping, dancing, singing along, and having the best time with this lively, interactive show. The music is fun, and of course you get to see Bluey and Bingo, which was fun for us all!
Janessa, let’s get to the fun stuff…attractions and meals! With a large party, I highly recommend
Lightning Lane Multi Pass for everyone in your group. It can help shorten wait times for popular eligible attractions, and it includes unlimited
Disney PhotoPass Digital Downloads! That was one of my favorite parts of our big group trip. We have so many photos together, and all I have to do is pull one up to start smiling and remember what a practically perfect day we had! One little tip for you: assign one or two Lightning Lane “grabbers” to pick return times for the group. It keeps things simple and helps avoid anyone accidentally booking different plans at the same time.
Meal times can sometimes be a little tricky with a big group. What has worked best for us is breaking into smaller
reservations for table-service meals and aiming for similar times. When you check in, let the host know you are part of a larger group, and they will do their best to seat you close together. For quick service meals, we will often split into smaller groups to order, then meet back up and eat together in a central spot. It keeps everyone happy and keeps the day moving!
Janessa, I am so excited for your visit, and I can already imagine the fun and memories you are about to make together! Come see us again anytime you have more questions, and I hope you have an
INCREDIBLES kind of visit to the Happiest Place on Earth!
