Welcome to planDisney, Richard! Greetings from a fellow New Yorker!
Oh my goodness, your visit to
Walt Disney World Resort is right around the corner! You must be getting so excited. In just a few short days, you'll be off enjoying all the magic that Walt Disney World has to offer, including the incredible
EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival. If you get a chance to stop by the festival, you’ll be in for such a treat with live entertainment, food, and so much more! But, of course, we can’t forget about The World's Most Magical Celebration in honor of
Walt Disney World's 50th Anniversary! Can you believe that you’ll get to enjoy two fabulous events in one trip? How awesome is that?!
Now, on to your question, Richard! Updating the name of a Guest in your party is super simple with the help of your handy
My Disney Experience app. Simply log into your My Disney Experience app, open the menu (three horizontal stacked lines on the bottom right corner) and click on “My Profile.” Then, toggle over to “Family & Friends List” from the menu bar at the top, and select the Guest whose name needs to be updated. Once you are in their profile, select “Update Info,” input the correct last name, and hit submit. And just like that, you’re all set! Pretty easy, right?
If for whatever reason, these steps don’t work for you, you can always reach out to the Existing TIckest team at (407) 934-7639, where a helpful Cast Member will be happy to take care of this for you!
Richard, since you mentioned you just purchased your tickets and your arrival date is fast approaching, I wanted to take a moment to remind you to secure your
Park Pass Reservations. As a reminder, you'll need to make a reservation for the first park you plan to visit each day. Then, if you have added the Park Hopper Option to your tickets, you can hop over to another park starting at 2 p.m. each day. I took a look at the
Theme Park Reservation Availability Calendar, and it does look as though some parks are already at capacity during your visit, so I’d recommend securing your reservations as soon as possible.
We love helping fellow Guests like you as they plan their magical Walt Disney World Resort vacations, so please stop by again with any questions you may have! We're here to help make your vacation practically perfect in every way!
Until next time,
Diana
