Disney World Rides That Are Good for Large Groups

If you had a family reunion or other large gathering, are there any rides that can work really well with everyone going together? The one that pops to mind for me is Kali River Rapids. Since you get 8(?) people on a single boat and you're all looking at each other. Splash Mountain wouldn't be bad either with 8 people. Got any others?

A couple that comes to mind is Dinosaur, (if you can stand the "jerkiness" of that ride) as that ride vehicle holds 12 people, and ToT as those ride cars hold 21 people per ride. I am sure that if you had such a large group that wanted to ride together cast members would go out of their way to make it happen. Also another interesting point about those rides are the pictures that are taken during the ride. I think that would make a very interesting souvenir, don't you.
Also coming tto mind is the Great Movie ride, those cars must hold 12 to 15 people.

Jungle Cruise, Tower of Terror, It's a Small World, or Pirates of the Caribbean!

Jungle Cruise, that's a great one! It would be a blast with a boat full of your friends.

I think Jungle Cruise, Great Movie Ride and Kali are my favorite suggestions so far. If Ellen's Universe of Energy were a fun ride it has good vehicles for a large group. Soarin' might be kind of fun if you got a row to yourself. It's the best thing I'm coming up with in Epcot, besides the ride in Mexico anyway. silly

I'm thinking a Jungle Cruise boat full of friends and family would be wonderful.

You could definitely do the 3D movies and the shows, but I guess those aren't rides Wink

Test Track can fit six, right? So that could be good for groups.

I've never thought of going with a big group, but it really might be fun to be in a Pirates boat with all your buddies Smile

I suppose you could also fill up a whole train on Big Thunder Mountain.

How do you decide who gets to ride in front?!? We'd have to flip a coin -- or someone would have to promise to do the dishes or something.

I missed the It's A Small World suggestion. It's the happiest cruise on Earth after all!

I think the general consensus is: Meet up for meals and do one or two activities then split up and do your own things. I think even the closest of families can get tired of each other, especially if there are little kids or other stressful things going on.
