Hello Elder, and welcome to planDisney! Congratulations on booking a vacation package at Walt Disney World... your magical vacation will be here before you know it. How exciting! You are on the right track getting your package linked and ready to go with your My Disney account.
Purchasing a Disney vacation package means booking both a Disney Resort stay along with theme park admission tickets. In my opinion... this is the absolute best way to experience the magical, immersive experience of Walt Disney World! You're going to love staying right on site, and being able to enjoy the
perks of staying at a Disney Resort. Try to take advantage of that 30 minute early entry, it's a great way to enjoy some attractions with shorter lines!
Now let's talking about linking your package confirmation to your account, so you can keep track of all your magical plans in one place. You can do this a couple of different ways.
- After you log on to the Disney World website with your My Disney account, you can link your Disney Resort reservation by entering the confirmation number. Then you should be able to see all your hotel and ticket details.
- Another option is to use the My Disney Experience app. From the app home screen, select the "☰" menu icon in the lower right, then scroll down to Account, and select "Link to Account". Click the "Type ID" tab at the top right, and under Resort Reservation just enter your confirmation number and last name.
This is a great first step to begin your magical trip planning! If you wish to make any advance dining reservations, you can do so starting 60 days prior to your vacation. Perhaps you'd like to include a a fun character dining experience like
Chef Mickey's, or a unique and delicious buffet meal at Animal Kingdom Lodge's
Boma - Flavors of Africa. Go early so you can view the wild animals on the savannah!
All of your dining reservations will be displayed along with the rest of your My Disney Experience plans. The app is very handy to have during your park day, for everything from checking the bus schedule from your resort to the parks, watching attraction wait times, or even placing a
mobile food order to save time standing in a busy lunch line.
Elder, I hope this helps and that your Disney plans come together beautifully! I'll be sending pixie-dust your way for you to enjoy every moment of your Disney World vacation. Please
let me know if you have any other questions I can help with.
Magical memories await!
