Hey, there! Hi, there! I am happy to welcome you to planDisney, Lorrie. It won't be long before you leave today and enter the world of yesterday, tomorrow and fantasy. Hot dog!
Based on your question, I assume you purchased tickets, which all show up as assigned to you in your
MyDisney account. Now you want to make sure each person in your group has their gadgets and gizmos aplenty so you can purchase
Lightning Lane passes ahead of time and have your tickets ready for each of you to get into the theme parks. Let's go!
First, each member of your group needs a MyDisney account. If they do not have accounts, you can easily create them online by going to your
Family & Friends list and clicking on "+ Add a Guest." Select the link "Add a new Guest who doesn’t have a MyDisney account." You can create accounts you manage or choose "Invite This Guest to Create an Account" so they can manage their own. To do this, you will enter their name, date of birth (if under 18) and email address. An email will be sent to them to accept, and then
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo!, you will be connected.
If they already have MyDisney accounts, you can connect under the same "+ Add a Guest" prompts and find them with their name and email address.
Once connected, you can assign the theme park tickets to your family and friends. To do this, go to
My Plans, scroll to "My Plans, Reservations and Tickets," and open the "Tickets, Passes & Memory Maker" tab. Find the ticket you want to transfer and select your friend's name from the dropdown under "Reassign Ticket."
If you prefer, you can also create accounts and assign tickets using the
My Disney Experience app. By opening the menu (the "≡"), you can add friends from your "Family & Friends List" under your profile. You can assign tickets through the "My Tickets & Passes" tile on the main menu page.
Now, you should be all set to enjoy all the whoozits and whatzits galore! On the day you can purchase Lightning Lane passes, you can open the app and select the "Purchase" button on the "Lightning Lane Multi Pass / Single Pass" banner at the top of the home page. You will choose the date and theme park and then select the eligible Guests from your list of family and friends.
You have a few options for theme park entry. If you have a MagicBand or
MagicBand+ connected to your MyDisney account, all the power to get into the parks and your Lightning Lane queues will be on your wrist. You can also set up
Disney MagicMobile service and use your cell phone. If you prefer a physical card, you can pick these up at a ticket counter at the front of any of the theme parks. To do this, the person who purchased the tickets may need to present proof of identity and purchase, like the credit card used to buy them or the confirmation email, for Walt Disney World to verify they belong to you.
I know this is a lot of information, but I promise it should not be complicated. If I misunderstood what you need or if you have any follow-up questions, please
ask me. We can work together to get you and your friends ready for your trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth.
See 'Ya Real Soon!
