Hiya, Emily!
Welcome to planDisney!
I can't think of a better way to ring in the new yEAR than by celebrating with Mickey and all of his pals at The Happiest Place on Earth! Your group is going to have a blast! I have good news: for
Disneyland Resort Dining Reservations, you actually don't need any other linked guest information. As long as you, the reservation maker, have a
My Disneyland Account, you'll be good to go! (Pro Tip: It's the same information as what you use to log into ShopDisney, Disney+, planDisney, etc, just activated for Disneyland.)
It sounds like you might be familiar with how Mickey's Florida home does things. At Walt Disney World Resort, you do have a 'Family and Friends' list in your
My Disney Experience account; when making reservations, you literally add the profile of each guest to your dining or slumber party. Currently, that extra step is not needed at
Disneyland Resort. All you need to do is select the number of seats you'll need at the table and you'll be ready to click 'Confirm!' This does, however, mean that the reservation won't show up in anyone else's
Disneyland Mobile App to help keep them on schedule. The trick my crew uses is to make a regular calendar appointment in our phones for each dining reservation with set reminders.
Pro Tip: One important dining difference between the two coasts is that at Land you'll only be able to book your dining reservations as each day hits that 60-days-out mark, not the "60 days + length of your vacation" one-swoop like at World.
Bonus Tip: Be sure to check out this amazing answer
my Panel pal Carrie (and Kamini!) shared about
linking your Costco Disneyland Resort Vacation Package so you can be sure to
book your also very important Park Pass Reservations.
I hope that this answer helped to clEAR up your question, Emily, and I hope that you get all of the must-do meals on your Disneyland bucket list! Be sure to follow the
official planDisney Panel Instagram account for even more tips and tricks. And if you have any more
