Sara,
Thanks for asking your question to planDisney!
Getting everything loaded onto your My Disney Experience account makes your planning so much easier. It is also incredibly helpful when you are in the parks, and all those plans synchronize seamlessly over to your My Disney Experience App on your smartphone, putting all that important information at your fingertips!
Here are the steps to linking most anything to your account. This will work for a resort hotel reservation, park tickets, dining reservations, and more. Just follow these steps, either on a desktop computer or via your smartphone on the My Disney Experience App.
On your desktop computer
- Start at the Walt Disney World website, going to "My Disney Experience" from the top menu, at the far right.
- In that drop down menu, select "My Plans".
- You should see a series of circles lined up horizontally, one each for different kinds of reservations. There is one for resort hotel reservations, park tickets, park reservations, and dining. Whichever applies, hover over that circle and then click on the "Link" button that pops up.
- Enter your confirmation numbers and it will add them to your plans.
On a smartphone
If you are doing this on the My Disney Experience App on a smartphone, click on the three vertical bar menu button on the lower right corner of the app. From there you should see a button for your respective need, be it resort hotel, tickets, dining, etc. After clicking on the right option, you will see a "Link" button. Just add your confirmation number, and you should be good!
BONUS TIP
Be certain to have the My Disney Experience App downloaded and ready to go on your smartphone. It has tons of features that make your day in the park easier. From room key entry to mobile food ordering, getting around Disney has never been faster, and easier!

Have a Magical Vacation!
