Hi there, Krista, and welcome to planDisney! From one Louisiana girl to another, I'm excited to answer your question today about planning for a visit with a large group! I'm heading down next month with a group of 19, so I know it's a task to be the magic maker for everyone!
Krista, the current maximum party size to reserve a
Virtual Queue is 10 Guests. While I know this isn't the answer you were hoping for, I have a few suggestions I can offer you to try to ensure that everyone gets a chance to ride together on the Virtual Queue attractions during your visit! One option is to split your party into two booking groups and designate one person to be in charge of each booking. With a little faith, trust, and pixie dust, your boarding group return times might have some overlap, and if that's the case, you can all return together during that overlap time. If your boarding groups do not overlap, you can always visit a
Guest Experience Team Cast Member to see if they can help you adjust your return times to accommodate the entire party.
Another option is to purchase a
Lightning Lane Single Pass or
Lightning Lane Multi Pass for select attractions, if available. For these groups, the maximum booking size is a party of 20, so one person would be able to go in and book for the entire group (as long as everyone is linked together as Family and Friends and has the required theme park admission linked to their account as well).
Krista, navigating the magic with a large group can be a lot of work, but it's also so much fun! We love sharing the magic with all of our friends, but we also make time to break into smaller groups throughout the day and then meet back up for a parade, fireworks show, or special attraction! No matter how you spend your time, I'm sure you will all make lots of great memories together! One last tip - be sure to share
Memory Maker to save on the cost! You can connect with up to 25 Guests under one account for this photo service, so when traveling as a large group, we always have one person purchase the product and then share the downloads with everyone! It's a great way to capture all of your vacation photos for one shared price!
If you have any other questions before you arrive, feel free to come on back to
planDisney and let us know! We're always happy to share the magic!
See you real soon,
Alison
