Hi John!
Welcome to planDisney! It’s always great to help a fellow New Yorker, so I’m glad you stopped by today!
Can you believe that you will be in Walt Disney World, making memories that will last a lifetime in less than a week? Well, hold on to your hat, John, because it is bound to be a wild ride! There is something fabulous to enjoy at every turn, so I just know you will have an incredible time with your family.
My Disney Experience is an incredible tool that helps you get the most out of your Walt Disney World vacation. It really is like having your very own Fairy Godmother right at your fingertips! To answer your question, John, Guests need to be 13 years or older to have their own My Disney Experience. Guests under 13 cannot manage their own plans or have an account, but you can create a profile under your My Disney Experience account using their name and age. Then, you can use that profile to manage their plans during your vacation. You can add your kids by following these steps:
- Log into your My Disney Experience app.
- Click on the menu in the bottom right corner.
- Select “My Profile” from the menu, and toggle over to “Family & Friends List.”
- From there, click on the blue “Add a Guest” link and select “I’ll enter their name and age.”
- Follow the prompts to create their profile, and you are all set!
Easy as can be, right, John?
Did you know that your visit lines up with the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival? Just wait until you try the incredible food from the many outdoor kitchens featuring cuisine from all over the globe. I definitely recommend checking out the Foodie Guide on Disney Parks Blog for a sneak peek of the festival menu. While you’re enjoying the festival, keep an eye out for the awesome topiary sculptures of your favorite Disney characters located throughout the festival. They really are incredibly cool! I’m headed down for the festival in a few days, and I can’t wait to see what the talented Disney team has put together and take some time to LITERALLY stop and smell the roses!
I hope you found this answer helpful! As you continue to plan for your visit, know that we are here to help you make the most of your Walt Disney World Resort vacation. So, please visit us again with any questions you may have.
