Hi there, Teresa, and welcome to planDisney. I'm so glad you stopped by!
Can you believe that you'll be in The Most Magical Place on Earth in just a few short days? This weekend is sure to be the
fairest of them all!
The My Disney Experience app will be your key to the magic during your vacation, so it's a great idea to begin familiarizing yourself with it before you arrive. The app has interactive maps that will help you locate things like attractions, characters, restrooms, and Guest Services. You'll also use it to purchase Lightning Lane passes, join Virtual Queues, and place mobile orders at select quick service locations. I also love that it allows me to scroll through my Disney PhotoPass photos. It truly is pixie dust in your pocket (or in my case, belt bag)!
When logging into the My Disney Experience app, you'll use the same password required to log in to your My Disney Experience account on the
Walt Disney World website, so if each member of your party has their own My Disney Experience account, then they'll need to download the app to their device and use their individual login credentials. If members of your party prefer to share an account
like my pal Allyn's parents do, then you would indeed use the same password to access the account.
Personally, I recommend having each member of your party
create their own account and then link and share plans via the
Family & Friends List. To add someone to your Family & Friends List you'll simply select 'My Family & Friends' from the dropdown menu that populates when you hover over 'My Disney Experience' on the Walt Disney World website and then choose 'Add a Guest'. This process can also conveniently be completed in the My Disney Experience app by selecting the three horizontal in the bottom right corner of the screen and then scrolling to 'Profile' under the 'Account' heading. From there, you'll toggle over to 'Family & Friends List' where you'll see 'Add a Guest' towards the bottom of the screen.
However you choose to connect with your party, Teresa, I hope you have an
app-solutely incredible visit to The Most Magical Place on Earth. If you're in need of further clarification or if I misunderstood your question, feel free to
reach out to me directly. I'm happy to help!
Thinking Happy Thoughts,
Lizzie
