Welcome to planDisney, Barbara! I'm so glad to be able to answer your question today. It sounds like you're putting together a really fun day at
EPCOT with a large group. What a wonderful plan!
When it comes to actually
purchasing the tickets, the online system does limit you to buying a maximum of 10 tickets per transaction, which is why you ran into a roadblock when trying to grab all 12 at once. The easiest workaround is to just make two separate purchases and split up the 12 tickets in whatever numbers work best for you. Once you've completed both purchases, you can go into your
My Disney Experience app and link all the tickets to the correct people in your party. As long as everyone in your group is connected through Family & Friends in the app, you'll be able to plan together seamlessly, and things like
Lightning Lane return times,
dining reservations, and park plans will be visible across the group.
If you'd rather not split up the purchase online, you can also
call Disney Resort Hotel Reservations and Tickets directly, and a friendly Cast Member will help process your purchase of 12 tickets and answer any additional questions you may have. This might be a good option if you'd like the peace of mind of handling everything in one conversation.
As for discount, there is no special reduced pricing on tickets for large groups, even when buying 10 or more tickets at a time. The per-ticket cost will be the same regardless of how many you buy. However, if your group is also booking accommodations and you need 10 or more
Disney Resort Hotel rooms, then the Group Reservations team may be able to assist with that portion of the planning, and you can give them a call at (407) 939-1942.
For savings opportunities, I'd suggest keeping an eye on the
Special Offers page on the Walt Disney World website. You'll see promotions for tickets, resort stays, and packages, which can be great options for getting maximum value out of your trip.
I hope this answers your question, Barbara, and please let us know if there's anything else we can do to help you plan your magical vacation!
