Welcome, Jakyria!
Wow, what a special group to be bringing to the Walt Disney World Resort in just a few weeks! It sounds like you are ready for some BIG fun together with those ages, too. I’m sorry to hear you were having issues with the
Walt Disney World website; I do see on the home page to Build Your Vacation it allows up to six children to be selected with two adults. Let’s look at your vacation options together and see what is possible for you.
Each
Disney Resorts Collection hotel room has a stated limit for the number of Guests per room; most standard rooms sleep 4 to 5 so that won’t do for your fun crew. For larger groups, you can book
Suites,
The Cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort, or a
Deluxe Villa with larger Guest number capacities. Each room does require a lead Guest on the reservation who is at least 18 years old. You could book two Suites or Villas that sleep 8 people each and be sure to put one adult on each room reservation as the lead Guest. If you continue to run into trouble or need help figuring out this puzzle, don’t hesitate to
call Walt Disney World directly and a friendly Cast Member will help get you all set up for success.
If you are planning to stay off property, you may
purchase theme park tickets separately from a vacation package. In reviewing the ticket options for you, I see the counter maxes out at 10 tickets, but you can purchase the 16 tickets needed in two transactions without issue. Once you have theme park tickets purchased, be sure to
make theme park reservations for the parks you plan to visit each day of your vacation. You are then all set to enter a theme park together, as the minimum age requirement for unaccompanied children in the theme parks is 14.
Since each of your teens is over the age of 13, they may have a Disney Account to use
My Disney Experience and be
linked together as Family and Friends. Many hands pitching in for their own
mobile orders for a quick service meal or snack, or checking attraction wait times would lessen the burden on the two adults. This gamification of the Walt Disney World Resort experience is a great way to get everyone involved and contributing to your best day ever together!
Don’t forget to purchase
Memory Maker to ensure every magical moment is captured throughout your stay. Once everyone is connected in the app as Friends and Family, everyone’s photos will be together, so you won’t miss a smile even if the group breaks up during the day for their own adventures.
You sound like a very special person to be hosting this large group on such a memorable trip, Jakyria! YOU are the magic and I love that you’re doing this for them.
Please let us know if you have more questions or would like more tips for maximizing the fun and minimizing the stress of this big, special group trip.
Wishing you a practically perfect vacation,
Amy
