Magical Greetings, Lauren, from a fellow Illinoisian! Thank you for coming to planDisney with your question about your upcoming vacation to Walt Disney World.
Heading to WDW with friends is so much fun! Over the years, I have had the pleasure of making memories with not only my family, but with SO many of my Disney-minded friends. It’s super easy to link up your MyDisneyExperience accounts so that you can make plans together and see all the photos you and your friends take in the parks!
Like I mentioned above, you will want to make sure that each adult traveling to Walt Disney World sets up a
MyDisneyExperience account, either on the computer or the
smartphone app. Once that is done, you can add each friend under your “My Family & Friends List” on your profile. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on “Add a Guest”. This will direct you to a page that asks, “How do you want to add this guest?”. You will then select “I’ll enter their name and age”, enter their name and “18+” as the age, and select the “Invite this guest to connect” bubble. Here, you will need the email that they used for their MyDisneyExperience.
Once all that is done, your friend will have to accept your invitation to connect. They will receive an email that you want to connect, and then a little number appears at the top of the screen when they go to the MyDisneyExperience website (it will be next to the “welcome, Lauren” in a little bubble. Click on that and then accept the invitation.
When you are all connected and have purchased your tickets and loaded them into your MyDisneyExperience accounts, one person can make the
theme park reservations for the whole group! They can also make dining reservations and select everyone! The app will come in handy for you all once you are in the parks, too.
I hope this helps with planning your upcoming visit to the most magical place on Earth! Please visit us again if you have more questions!
Happy Traveling,
Tracy
