Isn't there a limit as too how many people can accompany a wheelchair into a ride? Just encountered a very rude group of 10! Getting onto IASW, they were ride to the cm at the gate and then to me for thinking I cut in the middle of their group. Very annoying to those of us who properly use their GAC
 
Usual size is 6, especially at Small World, where the wheelchair accessible boat will seat no more than 6 people in seats plus one wheelchair.
They do occasionally make allowances for more than 6 with extenuating circumstances (such as when our group was 8 total, but included one wheelchair and 2 women who were 80+ yrs old.
Even then, there were things like Toy Story Mania, where we had to be in 2groups, with the largest group no more than 6.

Since Small World has a gate marked with a wheelchair symbol and often has no CM standing there, my guess would be the large group just got into the line and followed it down to the boarding area.
 
The limit is 6 (unless there are special circumstances). My dad has an ECV, and we go to Disney a lot, so we're very familiar with this rule. We went to WDW last April with my brother, his wife, and they're 3 kids, and because the limit was 6, we did have to split up. It doesn't bother me because I know the rules, and I know there's a reason for them. I just hate it when people take advantage and try to bend the rules. It annoys me to no end. That group of 10 would have ticked me off.
