My #1 suggest would be to just remember to take the pictures! I know that sounds crazy but with our big group which included 6 kids all under the age of 12 there was just so much going on that I really felt like nobody took nearly enough picutres. There's only one group shot in front of the castle and my mother-in-law isn't in it because she took it. My hubby and I were the group WDW "experts" and we knew that CMs would take pictures of us all even with our own cameras but honestly we were so wrapped up in the day we never thought of it. We got some great pictures of the kids meeting characters and a few others but overall I was upset with myself for not taking more and there were plenty of opportunites for it we just didn't think to take them. I'm sure some other LPers have great suggestions for actual spots to get photos taken. But when I read your question my first thought was about how easily our big group day slipped away with me taking hardly any pics!

Just try to have the CM's do the photos and they will also give some good ideas on where to go to have a good picture. Good luck and have a great time.

My husband and I have APs for the "land" (we live in San Diego) but this is our family's first time all together at the "world".
