Hey Howdy Hey Kelly!
Thanks for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel. It sounds like you are going to make so many magical memories with your group at the Happiest Place on Earth! If you haven't already, make sure you look to see if certain
Group Discounts apply to your party. This is one of the great benefits of traveling with a large group.
Once you go through security and head toward the entrances of Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park, you will enter the large esplanade separating these two parks. This area is fairly open, and it won't be difficult to spot your party. You can
view a map of this area online or on the
official Disneyland app. A popular meeting spot in this area lies directly in the center between the entrances of both parks. On the ground there is a large symbol resembling a compass with four Mickey heads. I think this would be a great place to meet your group then easily enter either park. You may also want to consider wearing matching shirts which is a popular way to keep your group together.
I hope this helps, and feel free to return if you have any other questions. Have a magical day!
