I believe it is 8.

I thought it was 10. We have 16 in our group!

The answer to your question is 8.

 

[gigi1313]

thank you! we anticipate having at least 9, so that's cool!

now, tell me... what stuff can we do as a MG that we can't as two individual families going on vacation?

 

[YCFAN]

There are special fireworks cruises that you can take with character greetings, special breakfasts you can attend and Illuminations dinner parties or dessert parties I believe. The best place to go for information is on the official Disney site and look under Magical Gatherings. There's a special number listed there that you can call for Magical Gatherings information.

1) Contrary to popular believe, a Magical Gathering can be ANY size.
. . . really large
. . . large
. . . medium
. . . small
. . . really small
2) It takes eight or more for a Grand Gathering.

Yes, the minimum number of people is eight. But you must also book at least three rooms.

We are doing the Internation Dinner & Dessert reception in December... There are 13 of us in our Grand Gathering, but you only need 8 people over 3 yrs old
