[QUOTE="MickeyLuv'r, post: 9705649, member: 14940"] In my experience with such trips, a key thing is figuring out is how well you sync- especially regarding what time everyone wants to get up, or more accurately, what time they want to arrive at the parks? Along the same lines: What time to they eat? and What time to they want to be done for the day? If everyone wants to rope drop, agrees to see a little of everything, and is willing to be a little flexible, then you can tour more together more of the time. If your group is split between early risers and late night folks, and/or they all want to eat at different times, and/or they are rigid about what time they eat, then touring together all falls apart. I will also warn you, I stopped being tour coordinator when WDW imposed no-show dining fees. WDW is a little flexible, as long as part of your group arrives, but in no way did I want to be on the line for a no show fee, because someone changed their mind about breakfast. Outside of WDW , I don't mind waiting for people to arrive. At WDW, waiting around for part of your group to arrive (at a designated location) gets very tiresome very quickly, because WDW has become so rigid - or at least it was when WDW had fastpass. If you can't get everyone to agree on one hotel, and a specific park for each day, I wouldn't try to coordinate the group very much. One option that actually worked pretty well was staying club level, but club level isn't running at WDW right now. With club level, we had some flexibility to just meet up in the late afternoon for appetizers, maybe see each other at breakfast, and now worry about the rest. [/QUOTE]
