Hey there, Paul! I'm so glad you brought your question to planDisney!
It looks like your trip to
Walt Disney World Resort is right around the riverbend and I couldn't be more excited for you! I'd love to help you with connecting your son's
My Disney Experience account to yours so you can view each other's plans. This will also be very helpful if you'd like to make
dining reservations or reserve rides together through
Disney Genie+!
The best next step would be for you to add your son to your
Family & Friends List. To do this, log into your account online. Hover your mouse over the
My Disney Experience tab and click
My Family & Friends. Scroll down and click Add a Guest.
Paul, I've had the best experience by choosing the "Import from a Walt Disney World Resort hotel reservation," but if that doesn't work for your particular circumstances, you can choose "I'll enter their name and age." If you choose this second option, you can go back to your Family & Friends List and click Update next to your son's name. You can then click Share Planning and send an invite to your son so he can manage his plans.
If you run into any issues while linking your son's account to yours, have no fear! Sometimes it just takes a little sprinkle of pixie dust to connect things properly. If this is the case, you can simply reach out to a wonderful
Cast Member by phone, email, or chat. They will be happy to help make sure that your entire travel party is connected through My Disney Experience, especially for you and your son!
Also, make sure that your whole travel party has selected their
Theme Park Reservations! This will ensure that you have admission to your desired parks. You can also download the
My Disney Experience app on your phone, which is a little bit like having a magic wand in your hand during your vacation! You'll be able to check wait times for rides or even
mobile order food so you can be sure that your snacks are ready before the hunger even strikes.
Paul, I hope I was able to answer your questions today! If anything else pops up, don't hesitate to reach back out to us here at planDisney. After all, you've got a friend in me!
See ya real soon!
