Hello Anita!
Welcome back to planDisney. I'm happy to help as you prepare for your visit next month.
While guests can link their admission to a
MagicBand+ or create a digital pass using
Disney MagicMobile Service, I understand that others like having a physical ticket in hand. Your friend should be able to stop by the ticket window at any theme park entrance to request a
Key to the World Card. It makes a nice little keepsake, too.
If you plan to serve as the point person for your party's Virtual Queues and Lightning Lane return windows be sure everyone is linked to your
Family & Friends list in advance of your visit. Guests of Disney Resorts Collection hotels
can begin purchasing and scheduling a few days ahead of offsite guests so you'll also want to confirm that each person is listed on your resort reservation if you are staying on property.
When it comes to entering attraction lines via
Lightning Lane entrances, each guest will first need to scan their admission media to enter the park and scan in again at each reserved attraction. Your entire party will not automatically be granted access when you scan your ticket, MagicMobile pass, or MagicBand+. You are welcome to create a MagicMobile pass for each guest in your party, you'll just need to toggle through your phone's wallet and scan them one at a time. It's usually a quick process and you'll get that satisfying glow and chime at the Mickey touch point for each eligible guest.
Your visit puts you right in the middle of the holiday fun so be sure to experience the
gingerbread and tree displays at the resorts as well as the seasonal food and merriment of the
EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays. You're sure to be swept up in the spirit of the season as you take in the sights and sounds across all of Walt Disney World Resort.
I hope this clears up any confusion, Anita. If you need further clarification please come back and let us know.
Magic and memories,
Amy
