    My family is going to Disney world and we wanted to book all lighting lanes but when I added my sister to the friends and family list her kids didn’t pop up. They don’t have accounts so how can I add them to that list if she already has them in her app.

    Hi Keely, welcome to planDisney!

    Congratulations on being designated the official Lightning Lane leader of your family! I know, that isn’t a real title, but I’m sure your family appreciates you taking on the task of making plans for your park days. In my experience, it is easier to have one person in charge of purchasing the Lightning Lane Passes for the entire family. 

    I also manage my children’s profiles, so I am familiar with making sure other Guests can help create plans for them. Your sister will need to complete this process on a web browser, it cannot be done on the My Disney Experience app at this time. She will need to log in to her My Disney Experience account from the Walt Disney World website on a web browser and visit her Family & Friends List. Then, she should find your name in her list of connections and click “Edit Settings.” There will be an option to “Allow to make plans for the Guests you manage,” and she should click “Connect My Managed Guests.” You should receive an email inviting you to make plans for her children. Once you click accept, they will appear on your Family & Friends List. 

    If you are unable to complete this process, I recommend calling for help from a Cast Member. You definitely want to make sure everyone is linked before your Lightning Lane booking window opens

    While you’re in your Family & Friends List, you should edit the settings for each member in your travel party to “Allow to view your Disney PhotoPass photos.” You’ll be able to view the PhotoPass photos everyone in your family collects throughout your Disney vacation, whether it is an attraction photo or a family photo on Main Street, U.S.A. in the Magic Kingdom. One person in your family can purchase Memory Maker, then they can download the photos and videos from up to 25 members of their Family & Friends List to share with your family!

    I hope this helps, Keely! Enjoy your upcoming vacation, and good luck booking your Lightning Lanes! If you have any more questions, please come back to see us again at planDisney!
