Hiya! Welcome to planDisney, Constance.
How excited are you to have booked a visit to Walt Disney World Resort? You are in for such a treat, with so many exciting attractions and restaurants to enjoy during your vacation! Speaking of treats, did you know that your visit lines up with the incredible EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival? It's a crowd favorite at Walt Disney World and, in my opinion, is an absolute must-do! I’ll be headed to Walt Disney World later this year to catch the festival, so I was so excited to see that Disney Parks Blog released their Foodie Guide, which breaks down all the delicious bites available from the festival’s outdoor kitchens. I’ve got my eye on the Chesapeake Crab Slider with tangy coleslaw and Cajun remoulade from Hops & Barley, located near The American Adventure. So, I simply cannot wait to get there to try it out!
Ok, on to your question, Constance! Adding your family and friends to your My Disney Experience app is really as easy as can be. Below are a few steps that will help you through the process.
- First, have your group log into their My Disney Experience app and open the menu (the three stacked lines on the bottom right corner).
- Next, scroll down and click on "My Profile" and select "Show My Linking Code."
- Have them write down the six-character manual code on this screen and ask them to send it your way.
- Once you have their manual linking code, open your My Disney Experience app and navigate to "My Profile."
- Then, toggle to "Family & Friends List" and select "Add a Guest."
- Click on "Scan their linking code," then "Manually Enter a Code," submit, and you are all set!
One important thing to note is that the manual linking codes are only valid for 30 minutes each, so keep that in mind as you follow the steps above.
Now, if you would like to add members of your own family who won’t be using their own My Disney Experience account (like your little ones, perhaps), then you can add them manually by following the steps below:
- First, log into your My Disney Experience app.
- Next, open the menu by clicking on the three stacked lines in the bottom right corner.
- Click on “My Profile” and toggle over to “Family & Friends List.”
- From there, click on “Add a Guest” and “I’ll enter their name and age.”
- Finally, you can add each member your family individually by adding their information in this section and clicking on the “Add Guest” button at the bottom to submit.
And just like that, your family is all set and linked to your My Disney Experience account! So that wasn’t too bad, right?
I do hope this answer has been helpful to you! You are visiting during such a wonderful time with so much to do and see at Walt Disney World! So, please visit us again soon if you have any questions or want to hear some of our recommendations. We would love to help make your vacation as magical as possible!
Until next time,
