Welcome to planDisney Laura! Thanks for stopping by with your question. Planning a
Walt Disney World Resort vacation with friends and family is even more magical when you can coordinate your plans seamlessly. I’m happy to guide you through the steps to ensure everyone in your travel party stays connected for a pixie dusted adventure!
To share plans with everyone in your party, they would need to create their own
My Disney Experience account, which they already have. Then, you can add them to your
Friends & Family list. In the My Disney Experience app, tap the three horizontal lines in the bottom right corner. Under 'Account,' select 'Profile,' then tap 'Family & Friends List' at the top right. Tap 'Add a Guest' and follow the prompts to add them to your list. I would next suggest connecting your account to everyone in your party on their own devices. This will allow you to manage all your plans from your own account while still being able to share reservation plans and tickets with your party. They will be able to see all plans, including Walt Disney World Theme Park Tickets and Hotel Reservations.
I find the easiest way to connect to the accounts of friends and family members is by using your Linking Code. To find your Linking Code, tap on the 3 horizontal lines on the bottom right of the My Disney Experience app. Scroll to the bottom of the screen then under Disney Account, tap “Profile.” Next, tap “Show My Linking Code.” The app will then prompt you with a warning explaining what the linking code is. Once someone scans your Linking Code, you’ll be added to their Friends & Family list. Next tap “Show My Linking Code.” The app will then create a unique linking code. There’s a QR version as well as a manual code that your friends and family can type in.
After connecting, each travel party should link their own hotel reservation by going to "My Plans" in My Disney Experience and entering the confirmation number and last name on the booking. While this won’t merge the reservations, it will allow all parties to see and coordinate plans within the app.
Laura, I hope this helps you link your reservations and make planning your Walt Disney World Resort vacation even more magical! If you have any other questions, feel free to stop by planDisney again. Wishing you a fantastic trip filled with unforgettable memories!
