    How to I add a family member to my planning party that is already listed in my "friends and family connections" but not there.

    Hi there, Emily!

    It is great to hear from you and I hope you are having a fabulous time planning your next Walt Disney World Resort vacation. It sounds like you are well on your way by connecting your party to your My Disney Experience Family & Friends List. I am hoping I am able to troubleshoot a few ways to get everyone fully connected and get you on your way to making plans for the whole party.

    If the profile is managed by anyone else, you'll want to make sure that they go into their My Disney Experience Family & Friends List and under your name, they will need to select "Settings" and choose "Allow to Make Plans for Managed Profiles." Although my mom and my sister can see my kiddo's profiles, in order for them to make plans, I had to make sure this was selected. If this isn't the problem, then you could try to remove that member from your Family & Friends list and then add them again to see if that corrects the issue or if I keep having the same issue, I delete the My Disney Experience mobile app from my phone and reinstall.

    If those fail to address the problem, I suggest calling the My Disney Experience helpline in order to have them take a look as they should be able to see your account and your Family & Friends List in order to diagnose the problem a bit better. 

    Hopefully, you'll get it all sorted out easily and be planning your trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth soon! Have a wonderful vacation and please come see us again!

    Magical Wishes,

    Lauren

Meet the Panelist: Lauren, Colorado

Hi-ya, Pals! I'm Lauren, a wife and mother of three who's enjoyed many special occasions at Walt Disney World Resort with my family and friends. From graduations to birthdays, and even our Fairy Tale Honeymoon we’ve loved celebrating at the most Magical Place on Earth. I now have pre-teens who check wait times in the My Disney Experience App just for fun, so I look for any excuse to return "home" often and would love to help you plan a little extra Pixie Dust for your next magical adventure.
