Tigger,

I have done some research on group trips to WDW. In April we are going and there will be 14 to 15 of us. Here are my suggestions.....

Airfare, from what I have learned there is not any type of "group rate". There is "group reservations". What this means is you will all be sitting in the same section of the plane. We have 15 seats held for us now; we have to use (I think) at least 13 seats to not be charged for the extra seats. Oh yeah, the airlines "groups" are generally 10 or more.

Room are not really "guaranteed" to be together. You could be right next to each other or several building apart. Might not be too bad :D

Dining.... This could get a little confusing. When and if you make PS arrangements for 8 or more people you need to ask for group reservations. Again, this is not your normal "reservation". They will ask for you to put money down to hold the tables for you. It is $10 per Adult (I think). I asked why we needed to do this, because if they hold a large table for say 14 and 5 people in your group does not show up, there is a table that they could have used. They may have had to make other guests wait longer than necessary. Also, I could make "reservations" for 8 people and then there are actually 4 in our group just to get seated quicker and better seating.

I hope this helps out! Any more questions, just ask. You actually might need a better explanation of PS.
