Hi Emily! Thank you for reaching out to planDisney.
The
My Disney Experience mobile app is an incredibly useful tool for the family's resident planner
and the whole travel party! Through this app, can keep track of your
tickets,
advanced dining reservations,
PhotoPass photos, and so much more! This is where you can also purchase
Disney Genie+ and Individual Lightning Lanes should you choose to do so! Not to mention, you can
mobile order food at many quick-service locations so you don't have to wait in line. Just place your order, tell them when you've arrived, and when you're food is ready, they'll let you know! If you are visiting
Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park, I highly recommend doing this at
Satu'li Canteen at
Pandora - The World of Avatar. It's my favorite place to mobile order across the entire resort!
I have good news for you, Emily! Even if your sister is making all of the reservations, your whole travel party can keep track of everything in their account. First things first, you need to create a
My Disney Experience account. I recommend doing this on a computer. Once you have done so, you will want to select "My Family & Friends" from the My Disney Experience dropdown menu. On this page, you will select "Add Guest." Then, select "I'll enter their name and age." This is how you will create profiles for your children.
On this same page, you can also enter your sister's information, select "Invite this Guest to connect," and enter her email address. Once she's connected, you can click on her name and select "All My Plans" so that she can see any plans you make. Be sure to save your changes. You'll want to make sure she does the same for you. Once she does, you should be able to see everything! If for some reason things don't go as planned, you can always call the
My Disney Experience, MagicBand, and MagicBand+ phone number and a friendly Cast Member will be happy to help!
Once everything is set up, you will be able to take advantage of the
Disney Genie service that's available through the My Disney Experience mobile app for free. This service will create a personalized itinerary, keep track of your reservations, and make suggestions based on your preferences!
Emily, I hope that you and your family have a wonderful trip! Please feel free to
reach out to planDisney again in the future with any questions you may have. We are happy to help!
Remember you're the one who can fill the world with sunshine,
Matt
