Welcome to planDisney, Diane! I'm so excited to hear that you've got a trip to Walt Disney World Resort coming up in a few weeks. It's one of my favorite times of year to visit because of the crisp cool weather and, of course, the
EPCOT International Festival of the Arts! Spending a day strolling World Showcase checking out the
Food Studios and the visiting artists is my own idea of perfection, so be sure to check out the festival while you're there.
Diane, I'm pleased to tell you that you will be able to make plans for all of your connected friends and family on your upcoming trip. The maximum party size for
Disney Genie + and
Lightning Lane selections is 12, so you're good to go with your group as it is. I recommend that each morning before you make your selections you double-check the "Confirm Party" screen in the
My Disney Experience app to make sure that everyone in your group is accounted for. That way, there shouldn't be any hiccups when it comes time to make your choices. I also recommend that you take a screenshot of your confirmed Disney Genie+ selections in case of any unforeseen technical difficulties, so you can show them to a
Guest Relations Cast Member in the event that you need some help. Just like Scar says, "Be Prepared"!
I hope this answers your question, Diane, and please let us know if there's anything else we can do to help you plan your magical vacation!
Jessica
