Hi Sharon! Welcome to planDisney! I'm so glad you stopped by, as there's honestly so much to see and do at
Walt Disney World that a little planning can go a long way. As the planner of my own family’s Disney vacations, I understand the joy (and challenge!) of making sure every ticket is purchased, every detail is in place, and securing those must-do
Lightning Lane attractions is a top priority. Since you’re buying both
tickets and Lightning Lane passes for your group, here’s a quick reminder: if you’re staying at a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel, you’ll be able to make your Lightning Lane selections up to seven days before your arrival, and three days ahead for other Guests.
Now, sharing those tickets and Lightning Lane selections with your family is as simple as ensuring everyone is connected to your
Family & Friends List on your MyDisney account. Once everyone is linked, you can make reservations and share tickets seamlessly. On your computer, sign into your MyDisney account and head to “My Family & Friends” under the MyDisneyExperience tab. Through your app, click on the menu icon (three horizontal lines), scroll down and tap "Profile," and then toggle over to “Family & Friends” at the top of your screen. From there, you will select the “Add a Guest” feature and either search for a Guest with an existing MyDisney account or create a new Guest. Once those steps are complete, you can manage their plans and share all the magic you’ve planned with them—no separate purchases are needed!
If you need any further planning tips, like which
Disney Character dining experiences are best for your group, the top attractions in each park, or just a few of my personal favorites,
I’m here to help make your trip unforgettable. Happy planning, Sharon, and get ready for an incredible time at Walt Disney World!
See you real soon!
