Hiya Heather - welcome to
planDisney!
Thanks so much for stopping by with your question - congratulations on your new name! I'm sure you have a lot of places to make this change, and of course, you've prioritized your My Disney Experience account!
Changing your own name is a snap, either
online or via the
My Disney Experience Mobile App. On the web, once you are logged in you can click on your name (it should say
Profile underneath it) or click the
Welcome, Heather! link at the very top of the page. From there, click
Account Settings and you'll be able to update your name in the
Personal Information section. In the app, tap the button with three horizontal lines in the lower right corner (sometimes called a sandwich or stack menu icon), scroll all the way down and tap
My Profile, then
Account Settings. You only need to make the update in one place - it will then sync across your account!
Keep in mind that it can be important for the name on your reservations to match your photo ID, so if your ID or payment cards still have your maiden name you may want to hold off on updating your account until all of your documentation is up-to-date!
I'm going to take a guess and say that this name change is probably something to be celebrated! Be sure to stop by Guest Relations at a theme park or the Front Desk of your
Disney Resorts Collection hotel for a complimentary
I'm Celebrating! button. You can even stop by
Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe at Magic Kingdom Park or
Disney's Days of Christmas store at Disney Springs to have your button personalized by an artist for a small fee!
I hope this helps -
please let me know when any other questions pop up as you continue planning your Walt Disney World Resort vacation!
