Disney will be indefinitely discontinuing these Grand Gathering experiences as of January 28th, 2012.

• International Dinner & Illuminations Dessert Reception
• Safari Celebration Dinner
• Good Morning Gathering
• Calendar for Grand Gatherings Events
  
  

If you're part of a group of 8 or more who are planning a visit to Walt Disney World that includes staying at Disney Resorts (including the Swan/Dolphin if you book these resorts directly with Disney), you qualify as a "Grand Gathering."

As a Grand Gathering, there are exclusive options that your party can participate in. (To schedule one of these events, at least 8 people in your group must take part in it.)

In addition to the Grand Gathering events, groups can order Magical Gathering T-Shirts (90 to 10 days in advance of arrival), and schedule spa treatments, childcare, tours, etc.

(Note that children under the age of 3 cannot be counted towards the minimum guest requirement.)
