We've been with friends who are Disney veterans twice and just let them lead the way the first time, they made sure we got to see and do as much as possible. It helps that we all get along well at home and have had a few weekends away together first. Even so, at the end of two weeks, I think we'd had enough of each others company.
I think the "try it out for shorter periods of time" idea is a great one. Spend a few weekends away with people first to see how it goes. You can be great friends with people at home, but traveling together can be another whole story 
True. Try as much as possible to determine expectations and travel style before you go. More than anything, I hate to go someplace with people that sit and stare at you like they're awaiting orders. We booked a cruise with extended family once; I thought it would be the perfect family vacay, going our separate ways during the day, meeting up for dinner - and they were STUCK LIKE CRAZY GLUE to us. Got old fast.
