Happy Holidays, Tracie! Welcome to planDisney! I'm happy to help you get your Christmas visit to the Walt Disney World Resort off to a wonderful start!
Buying your tickets ahead of time is a practically perfect idea. To enter the theme parks, you'll need to take the confirmation email you should have received, along with a photo ID and the credit card you used to purchase the tickets, to
one of the Guest Relations locations outside the park entrance when you arrive. The Cast Member assisting you will provide complementary
Admission Cards for everyone in your party. You'll then use the cards at the tapstiles to enter the theme parks.
Tracie, before you can hit the parks, you'll also need to make reservations for the theme park you plan to visit each day of your trip. To do that, we'll start by linking your tickets to your
My Disney Experience account. If you don't have an account yet, go ahead and create one now. It's totally free and it will be the home for all of your vacation plans.
Got your My Disney Experience account ready to go? Great! Be sure you're logged in and head over to the
"Link Your Reservations and Purchases" page on the Walt Disney World website. Follow the directions there to link all of your tickets to your account using the confirmation number you should see in the email you received. After your tickets are linked, hop over to the
Disney Parks Pass page and make reservations for any park that has availability for that day. And that's it! Your magical vacation is ready to begin!
I hope this helps you make the most of your Disney days, Tracie! Thanks for stopping by to see us, and I wish you a joyous holiday season!
Keep Disney Dreaming,
Kathy K.
