Hi Felix! Welcome to planDisney!
What a sweet gift you received! A day at any of the Walt Disney World theme parks sounds perfect, but I do love the relaxing atmosphere of
Disney's Animal Kingdom. There is something so peaceful about exploring the trails and spotting the many animals that call this theme park "home."
To link your
Walt Disney World theme park tickets to your
My Disney Experience account, go to "My Plans" under the My Disney Experience drop-down menu on the main
Walt Disney World website. Near the top, you will see icons for different planning categories, and in the middle is "Park Tickets." Hover over that and the option to "Link Tickets" will pop up. Click that button and you will be walked through the process of linking your ticket.
You can also do this on the
My Disney Experience mobile app by touching the three lines in the bottom right-hand corner, then "Tickets and Passes." Select the "+" sign in the upper right-hand corner and follow the steps to link your ticket.
Once your ticket has been linked, make your
Disney Park Pass reservations right away. They go quickly! Looking at the
Theme Park Reservation Availability calendar right now, it looks like Disney's Animal Kingdom is available for the date you entered as your arrival date, but you will need to check as well.
I hope this helps, Felix! Please let us know if you have any other questions.
