    Hello! I have a friend flying in to join midway through our trip. Is it possible for us to pick her up a Key to the World card before she arrives so that we can head straight to the parks once she joins us? Thank you!

    Hey There, Hi There, Ho There, Sarah!

    Welcome to planDisney! We are THRILLED you stopped by and are honored to help you plan your upcoming trip to Disney World! We know you are getting so excited to experience the MAGIC of Disney, and the BEST way to do this is with friends! Just know we are counting down the days with you and can't wait to "See You Real Soon!"

    OK...there are two answers to your question based on a few factors:

    * If your friend is linked to the reservation of you or someone in your party, then you can pick up her Key to the World card before she arrives. YESSS! Great news!

    * If she has her own resort reservation and is not linked to anyone in your party, you would not be able to pick up her Key to the World card.

    HOWEVER, there is another option to sprinkle some pixie dust on the situation to create a happy ending!!!

    One thing your friend can do is complete her online check-in through her My Disney Experience Account. From there, she can set up her MagicMobile Entry directly on the My Disney Experience App by following these simple instructions:

    1. Open the My Disney Experience app on your smartphone.
    2. Tap the Menu button in the bottom right corner. (It looks like three lines on top of each other.)
    3. Scroll down to "Set Up MagicMobile Entry."
    4. Set up your pass by clicking the "plus" in the upper right-hand corner.
    5. Customize your pass with a fun Disney design!
    6. Tap "Add to Apple Wallet" (iPhone) or "Save to Google Wallet" (Android).
    7. Once added, she can hold her phone or smartwatch near a theme park entrance touchpoint, and she will be ready to join all of you for the BEST DAY EVER!

    As you all continue to plan, I highly recommend you all check out the Disney Parks Blog for the most up-to-date information regarding all things Disney. Mickey and his pals have some incredible things planned, and we don't want you to miss a thing!

    If you have other questions, please let us know. We are here to help in any way!

    Have a MAGICAL day!
