If 10 people are going to WDW together (I believe) it is going to be hard to please all at all times. I would plan on doing some dividing up and meeting up etc. To think 10 people will be lockstep with a variety of ages and likes and dislikes is a lot. When I plan for a group I make a master spreadsheet for all. I have column one as the day and date, column two what we are doing for each meal, column three what park we will be in and what fastpasses we have (yes, I know there are not fastpasses now), and column four miscellaneous. Everyone can look at the spreadsheet and give input BUT we do not start discussions and share input without a starting scaffold in front of us. That would be a nightmare!!! We make adjustments, all share input, and we come up with a final plan. Girls do not like Mission Space so we go do Spaceship Earth while the guys do Space. Girls go do Beauty and the Beast while guys do Areosmith. Girls may do a spa day while guys do a pub crawl. One time half of us went to Sunday Brunch at the Contemporary and the others wanted to go to Whispering Canyon. Some have done a tour while others have done cocktail/pool time. AND we sometimes make adjustments while we are at WDW. Per meals we have some that wish to eat three times a day and others skip breakfast so we factor this in. Per the kids and sneakers - do they really need? If they do this would be a decision you have to make no matter. Yes, you will forget something BUT is it the end of the world? You will be at the most Magical Place on Earth!! PS. Go to Pinterest and search for WDW packing list. This will help. Your Mom may need breaks and r and r throughout and their may be grandkids that can go from sun up to park close. If this trip is for your Mom and family to make wonderful memories build the scaffold of the trip around Mom and then add to it. (I had an emergency out-patient surgery four days before we were to go to WDW five years ago. We did not cancel. Yes, I had pain killers and adjusted greatly what I could do BUT it was more fun to be at WDW with the warm FL temps than being in cold OH with snow. I did more people watching than ever but it was all good. My only complaint was being so tired. There were times I had to sleep and could not keep up but with cell phones and great Dinsey transportation I could easily find people.) Some peope would not ever do this but it works for us: We take half as many clothes as we need and have one night of down time to hang out at the pool and do laundry. It saves us dragging so much luggage around and makes travel easier. We pack Tide pods in our tennis shoes and have for laundry night.
