Hey there, Nickole, and welcome to planDisney!
When it comes to vacationing at Walt Disney World, the more the merrier! Traveling with a large party is always a ton of fun, and you guys are sure to have a great time!
Nickole, Disney really has thought of almost everything when it comes to helping you plan magical vacations! The Family & Friends list in your My Disney Experience account is the perfect way to link reservations with your friends on your upcoming visit. After your accounts are linked, you’ll be able to make dining reservations together, see each other’s plans, and of course, book Genie + Lightning Lane entrances together to ensure you all get to experience the attractions together.
If you need some help reserving your lightning lane entrances, here are the steps that I follow to grab reservations for my family:
- Open the MyDisneyExperience app
- Navigate to the Disney Genie Service in the app
- Select the "Tip Board" and make sure the park is correct (it always defaults to Magic Kingdom Park for me each time I open the app)
- Locate the attraction you would like to reserve
- Choose "Book Experience" under the Disney Genie+ option
- Confirm your party and follow the prompts
Be sure to review the reservation time on the final confirmation screen. In my experience, the time displayed initially is not always the same when you reach the final step.
I hope this helps, Nickole! If you have any more questions, make sure to come back and ask me. After all, you’ve got a friend in me!
Until Next TIme,
PG
