Greetings to you, Paige, thanks for stopping by planDisney!
How exciting to have a big group visit to the
Happiest Place on Earth! I’m happy to share more about traveling with a large party, our immediate family consists of seven people, so I can understand the need for coordinating all the things!
You can link everyone’s tickets into each other’s devices to ensure
Genie+ Service and Lightning Lane selections can be made for the entire party at once. To do so, just scan each other’s tickets into your “Tickets and Passes” once you download the Disneyland app or manually link them through the website using the barcode ID on each ticket. Once you’re all linked, the fun begins!
One tip is when you make
dining reservations separate the families but ask if you can be seated together or near each other. Sometimes it's easier to find reservations that way. If you want a guaranteed table to fit you’ll need to contact them early to see if they can accommodate a large party, and keep in mind that for parties with eight or more guests, gratuity will be automatically included in your final meal check.
There is so much magic happening at the
Disneyland Resort this summer, so if you are visiting before August 4, you’ll be able to experience
Pixar Fest, celebrating friendship and beyond! With new live entertainment and
specialty food and beverages, it is a fun and colorful celebration across both parks! Everyone in your party will have something to enjoy, that’s for sure! I hope all this helps you and your travel party get linked up and ready for the magic, Paige. Make sure you’re following
Disney Parks Blog and
Disneyland on Instagram so you can keep up with all the new happenings! If you have any other questions before your arrival, feel free to
send me another message!
Magic awaits!
