I am planning a trip (but not traveling myself) for my brother and his family. Should I add him to my Family and Friends list to make reservations on his behalf? Or would it be best to log in with his credentials to make those reservations?

Answer 1

Welcome to planDisney, Sarah!

You are seriously a Fairy Godmother! You are one magical sister for planning your brother’s vacation to Walt Disney World Resort! (Be sure he brings you back a souvenir… Or two… Or a whole suitcase full of them!)

I’ve actually done this in the past both ways, so I feel like I know exactly where you’re coming from. In my experience, it was SO much smoother for me to just log in to the other person’s account to do all of the work. It was much easier (and way less confusing) than linking them to my Family & Friends list, because then if they needed to do/change anything, it was already in their account. That would be my suggestion, Sarah!

If you have additional questions while you’re planning this wonderful vacation for your brother and his family, don’t hesitate to reach out to us again at planDisney!

Have a great big beautiful tomorrow!
