what can my big group (15) do??

[bella01]

ok. We are going to be a group of 15. We can not be considered a grand gathering because we are staying at the Shades of Green resort. Is there anything we can do as a group on Saturday night to celebrate my nephew coming home from Iraq??

Are you all adults? If not, what ages are the kids?

We range in ages from 4 yrs old to my mom who is 69. By the way....we dont' really want to do a dinner...I was hoping for something a little more special.

Do you mean this Saturday night?

That's probably too short notice to book one of the pontoon boat cruises, but it's worth a shot.

I would *definitely* call Shades of Green and ask someone there this same question. My suspicion is they might be able to help you whip up something in one of their restaurants or down by their pool?

A totally free idea, is this: Whatever the honorees favorite ride is, the whole group has to go ride it together a few times in a row. "Space Mountain Marathon" or something like that. Get him a t-shirt from that ride/about that ride if there is one.

Have you talked to Disney to see if there's something cool they might offer? You could all do one of the tours or if you have dinner booked at Coral Reef you can get the diver to swim to the window of the aquarium with a welcome home sign. I have that booked for my boys' birthdays and it's free. Or you could try to get him to be the military family of the day that raises the flag at MK...I would call and see what is available.

I had a large group and you can book a grand gatherings. It just has to be done by SoG for you. Ask for Erin. She helped us. You have to have the names and ages of everyone in your party. Even though we were able to use Grand Gathering, we didn't do it. Our best times as a big group was meeting up to EAT!! and talk about our day!!!
