Hello, Gabrielle and welcome to
planDisney!
Thank you for bringing your excellent question to the
most magical planning group on earth it would be my pleasure to offer some advice so you can continue with your plans to
Walt Disney World Resort!
Gabrielle, you should indeed add your travel party names to the existing Walt Disney World Resort hotel reservations to manage all planning before and during your visit via
My Disney Experience online or via the
My Disney Experience App. Please be mindful of the hotel Guest Room capacities, and that extra charges may be incurred for extra Guests. Once this step has been completed, you will be able to assign valid theme park admission to each member listed in the hotel reservations (if tickets are not part of the package) to further manage your plans for securing the
required Disney Park Pass Reservations, booking
Disney Dining Reservations, participating in the
Disney Genie+ Service and much more!
To modify an existing Walt Disney World Resort vacation package or room booking that was booked directly through The Walt Disney Company, please sign into your Disney account online, access the
My Disney Experience planning tab on the top right of the main page and select,
My Plans – Dining, Resort Hotel and Tickets. From there please select
Resort Hotel and look for a modification option (Change Reservation) to add the names of each Guest. If you don’t see this modification option, then you will need to contact
Walt Disney World Resort – Hotel Reservations for assistance from a Cast Member. If you booked through a travel professional, or a third-party vendor then you will need to contact them for modifications.
Tips:It’s a good idea for everyone to create an account on the
My Disney Experience App to store their reservations and be able to access their valid theme park admission from their
physical theme park admission card, their Disney MagicMobile pass, or their valid MagicBand/MagicBand+ just in case anyone needs to break off from the group.
I hope this information is helpful, Gabrielle and I wish you all a magical visit to Walt Disney World Resort!
Best Disney Wishes!
