Hey Howdy Hey, Suellen!
You are as welcome as can be here at planDisney! How exciting that you are enjoying Walt Disney World Resort with family and friends. Enjoying the theme parks together sure makes your vacation even more magical. As the designated planner of the family, I can say it is definitely easier to have one person in charge of your group
Disney Genie+ Lightning Lane bookings and
Individual Lightning Lane bookings. So let's get you connected!
Suellen, the easiest way to do this is right from your
My Disney Experience app on your mobile device. To do that, follow these steps:
- Open your My Disney Experience app and click on the three horizontal lines in the bottom right corner.
- Scroll down and select "My Profile."
- Right under "My Account" you should see "Family & Friends List" on the top right, and click on that.
- Scroll to the bottom of that and you'll see a blue circle with a + in it next to "Add A Guest."
- You have three options for how to add them. Either you can add them if you have been connected in the past from a previous trip together, you can enter their name and age, or if they are with you, you can scan their linking code.
- If you choose to scan their linking code, you will have them follow the steps above to get to "My Profile" and at the bottom of the list on this screen, it says "Show My Linking Code." You can scan this code on your phone and that should connect their account to yours (or vice versa if they will be managing the reservations.) Now they should be connected.
As long as you are connected, you can then purchase Disney Genie+ Lightning Lane and Individual Lightning Lanes for your friends and family and make reservations on their behalf. If they purchase it on their own, Hakuna Matata! It means "no worries." You can still make the Disney Genie+ Lightning Lane reservations on their behalf as long as they have it on their account.
I hope this helps you, Suellen! If you have any further Disney planning questions, stop back here to see me and I'll be so happy to help you.
See ya real soon!
