Welcome to planDisney, Vickie! As the designated planner in my group, I know all too well the importance of keeping everyone’s plans in sync (especially when there’s Disney magic at stake.) Having a clear plan helps make sure the only surprises during your visit are the fun kind, like spotting Mickey just around the corner!
It sounds like you are asking about the Family & Friends List, through the
My Disney Experience and Disney Cruise Line Navigator apps. Unfortunately, the
Disneyland app does not currently have that feature. However, it still has some tools that will help keep your party connected and organized. For starters, you can link everyone’s park tickets and hotel reservations. Once that’s done, it’s a breeze to manage park reservations,
Lightning Lane return times, and more, all from the palm of your hand.
To get started, log into your MyDisney account in the app. Tap the menu icon (the three lines in the bottom right corner) and select “My Tickets and Passes.” Then tap the plus icon at the top right to link tickets. You can type in the barcode number or use the app’s camera scanner. Once everyone’s tickets are linked, your whole crew is ready to enjoy the day together!
Hotel reservations can also be added right in the app. Just scroll to “Hotel Reservations,” and if nothing is listed yet, tap “Link Another Reservation.” Enter the reservation number, check-in date, and the name of a Guest on the booking, and it will pull up your reservation. This ensures your travel party’s plans are neatly tied together in one place.
Once linked, you’ll be able to secure park reservations, book Lightning Lanes, and share Disney PhotoPass photos. Here’s a Q-Tip from my own adventures: divide and conquer! While I focus on booking Lightning Lanes for attractions like Indiana Jones Adventure or the Incredicoaster, my wife jumps on mobile food orders, saving us time for churros, Dole Whips, and maybe even a chance encounter with Minnie on Main Street.
Vickie, I hope this helps you feel ready to lead your group through a smooth and magical trip. If more questions pop up, we’d be delighted to see you again at planDisney.
May you have a magical visit!
