Hi Kip!
Thanks for bringing your question to planDisney! Connecting with your friends through My Disney Experience is key when joining a
Virtual Queue, so let's talk about how to make sure you can do that.
It sounds like you already have your friends linked through your Family & Friends List. Just in case you haven’t connected, let’s walk through how to add someone to your Family & Friends List. Log in to your My Disney Experience account on a mobile browser. Visit “My Family & Friends” and click “+ Add a Guest.” Next, you’ll have the option to search for your friend by entering their name and phone number, or through “Guests You May Know,” if you have a mutual connection existing on your Family & Friends List. Your friend will receive an email to confirm you are planning together. Once they confirm, they will be on your Family & Friends List.
Once you are connected in My Disney Experience, you should each visit your Family & Friends List. Find the name of your friend and click “Settings.” Confirm that you are allowing your friend to see all your plans, and they should do the same for you in their account.
After you complete these steps, you should be able to see your friend’s plans under your Future Plans. If you are unable to see them, I suggest calling a Cast Member for assistance. You can call the number listed under “
My Disney Experience, MagicBand, and MagicBand+.”
I hope this was helpful, Kip. Since you’re visiting EPCOT check out this
Disney Eats: Foodie Guide to EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays for a preview of the delicious holiday foods available. And keep an eye out for the
Storytellers throughout the countries of the World Showcase. My personal favorite is the Mischievous Magical Barn Santa in the Norway Pavilion. Please come back and see us again at planDisney if you have any further questions!
