    Can you use preferred names on your ticket or does it have to be your legal first name.

    Hey there, Madison.

    Welcome to planDisney! We're so glad you stopped by. My pals and I know how important it is to get every detail practically perfect in every way, so thank you for your question.

    What a great question, and one that I have personal experience with! I go by my preferred name, Michelle. That's the name on my passes and on my Disney Experience account. I've never had any issues, and I love that every Cast Member at Walt Disney World Resort uses my preferred name. It feels much more personal and makes it feel like home.

    I hope this helps, Madison! If you need any assistance changing your name, please call Disney to speak with a friendly Cast Member. They'll be happy to help make any changes you need.

    Bonus tips: Be sure to grab a waffle from Sleepy Hollow, they're my absolute favorite, and you can't beat the view of Cinderella Castle in the background! I also recommend trying Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT after taking a stroll around World Showcase and grabbing a bite to eat. I have to mention TRON Lightcycle / Run, be sure to ride it at night for an off-the-grid experience! For both attractions, ask for a front row seat and don't forget to keep your hands up for extra fun.
     
    Madison, I hope this information has helped! If you need any more assistance, please come back and see me. It's been so much fun helping you today.

    Your personal planning companion,
    Michelle
