The Orlando Group Communication Plan: Shared Calendar, Drivers, Budgets and Meeting Points
Large groups rarely struggle because nobody made a plan. They struggle because the plan exists in one person’s phone, while everyone else has a slightly different version. A simple communication system can prevent repeated questions, missed departures and unnecessary frustration.

Create one shared trip document
Keep arrival details, the villa address, major reservation times, park days and emergency contacts in one place everyone can access. Do not bury essential information across dozens of text messages.
Assign drivers by day
If the group uses multiple vehicles, identify who is driving which outing and which passengers are expected in each car. That avoids the 7 a.m. parking-lot debate about who has room for the stroller.
Separate shared expenses from personal expenses
Decide which groceries, parking fees or group meals are being split and which purchases are individual. A simple running note or expense app can reduce awkward reconciliation at the end of the trip.
Use fixed meeting points inside attractions
A message such as “meet near the entrance at 4:30” is better than trying to locate 12 people by phone while signals are weak or everyone is moving. Agree on the place before subgroups separate.
