Hi Mark,
Welcome to planDisney! Christmastime at Walt Disney World Resort sounds wonderful! I love seeing the Christmas trees throughout the theme parks and resorts. If you’re visiting Disney Springs, you can even take the
Christmas Tree Stroll which features several Christmas trees decorated to fit various Disney themes. When we spend a day outside the theme parks, we like to visit
Disney Springs for shopping, dining, and even live music.
Mark, it sounds like you’ve connected some of your party to your Family & Friends List already, but let’s go over the steps. Log in to your My Disney Experience account and visit your Family & Friends List. Scroll down to find “+ Add a Guest.” From here, you can select how you would like to add this Guest. If your daughter is connected to your other Family & Friends, you should be able to “Find through my connected Guests.” If you are all on a Disney Resort hotel reservation together, you can enter your reservation information under “Import from a Walt Disney World Resort hotel reservation.” And if you choose to “enter their name and age,” you can choose to send an email invitation to connect with this guest. If you send an email invitation, your daughter will receive an email and
must accept the invite to share plans with you.
Once you are linked on your Family & Friends List, make sure to click on each member of your party and choose to share “All My Plans” with them. They will need to visit their Family & Friends List and select to share their plans with you as well.
If you are unable to link with each other after following these steps, I suggest calling the number listed here under “
Technical and Website Support” for assistance from a Cast Member.
I hope this was helpful, Mark. Keep an eye on
Disney Parks Blog as your trip gets closer. It was just announced that the
Candlelight Processional will return to the
EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays this year, and in my opinion, that is a must-do for the holidays! Please
visit me again at planDisney if you have any future planning questions!
