Hey Howdy Hey Naomi and welcome to planDisney!
Vacations to the Walt Disney World Resort are built for families. There is so much that everyone can do together from Disney Resort hotel accommodations to theme park experiences and dining. Everyone can enjoy as much of the Magic together. Technology is one of the big things that can keep everyone together during your vacation and that starts with your
My Disney Experience account. Let's go over how to connect everyone's profiles so you can better plan your experience.
The first thing you are going to want to do is to check on your "My Family & Friends List" when you log into your account. If you need to add family or friends to your account, at the top right of your screen you should see the "Add a Guest" button which you will select. Once there, you can search for the person to add with a variety of options. Make sure you know that you will request a connection and they will have to accept the request on their account.
Your next step would be to make sure everyone is sharing plans once connected. On your end, look in your account and under another person's name, you will select the "Settings" button. You should see an option to "Allow (Guest name) to view all of your plans". Make sure that is selected for everyone you will be on your trip with and you are one step closer!
On the day you want to make your
Lightning Lane Multi Pass or Single Pass selections, you will be given an option for which Guests on your list to make the plans for. You can select everyone or only a select few if some are more thrill-seeking in your party than others. This will allow you all to know what everyone is up to and what the overall plans are right from their apps!
One friendly reminder, if you are staying onsite at a Disney Resorts hotel, you will be able to purchase and make your selections for your vacation starting at 7:00 AM EST, 7 days before your arrival date. If you are not staying onsite, this will still be at 7:00 AM however it will be 3 days before your date of arrival. Make sure to plan your day and get those Lightning Lanes early!
I hope this information helped get everyone connected and on the same page. If you have any other questions please let us know, we are always happy to help!
To Infinity and Beyond,
Nick
