So for the past few days I am helping my friends visit the parks by booking Lightning Lanes for them and using the refresh trick.
Eventually some of the attractions sell out and I am finding it hard to get a return time for some of the attractions by using the refresh trick.

Here is my list of attractions that I am finding difficult to get LL for after they sell out (never see a return time pop up). What are yours? am I wrong? Does larger groups make it harder?
Magic Kingdom
- Space Mountain
- Jungle Cruise
- Peter Pan
- Splash Mountain

Epcot
- Frozen

Hollywood Studios
- Tower of Terror
- Falcon
- Railway

Animal Kingdom
- Safari

Probably the larger groups. We have 2 and get many by refreshing, even got Rotr in March spring break. Maybe they should consider breaking up the group? Do half one ride then the rest of the party next? Something is better than nine and you may get lucky and get overlapping times for the same ride!

I’ve been told on here that large groups don’t matter AND that they do matter. I don’t think anyone really knows. It’s why I wish when someone does a G+/ILL run down of what they got in a day that they included how many were in their party.
 
"Large group" isn't specific enough. 1-10 people shouldn't have any issues at all. A group of 11 or 12 *should* work, but there have been glitches reported with the 11th and 12th person. Groups larger than 12 do not currently work with Genie+.

One Day was 8, the other 10, and then finally 12.
Always seemed to be the same attractions.
Maybe it is by attraction capacity. For example, Jungle Cruise would be easier with a smaller party compared to a large party.
 
We were a group of 5 (though I think refreshing gives you a LL window that does not take your group size into account.....I have wondered if group size impacts the shift in time you sometimes see after the choose your party screen). During a recent trip we got a JC and a TT well after they "sold out" and managed to get FEA twice (two different days, of course) after it had "sold out." I had MMRR pop up several times but the availability always vanished before I could grab it.
 
The main one that I had trouble with doing was Frozen! Had decent luck with the others…I booked Jungle Cruise early in the day so wasn’t necessary looking for it, but thinking back on it, I don’t know that I saw it pop back up much.
