We will be there Jan 15-21. My husbands whole family will be there with us also (that's 13 total people ugh..). AOA so we all have seperate rooms. So far we're thinking that QS will be the best bet to accommodate us all for meals (for time also), but open to some TS too. So far I'm the only Type A planner of the family, so they all want me to plan what I/our little family want to do and they'll base their plans off that. oooookay.....
Any tips on getting the 8am BBB appointment time? We've got a disney travel agent, should I just cross my fingers that she'll be able to get it?
So are you making ADR for the entire group or just your family? Either way I'd still "double team" the reservation if that one is top priority. I'd still wake up and try to grab the ADR then catch up with your TA later that day or that week and see what they got and cancel or keep accordingly.
Also with such a large group I'd break up into separate groups for the parks so it's more manageable for everyone. It could be by likes (those who prefer "thrill rides" and those who don't) ages (younger kids with a few adults and older kids with other adults) or families or whatever and then have a plan for everyone to meet up at specific periods of time to catch up or catch a show or whatever.
