Hello there, Kenneth!
Welcome to planDisney and thank you for bringing us your
Walt Disney World Resort vacation planning question. It looks like you'll be visiting The Most Magical Place on Earth in just a few short weeks - the countdown is on! Kenneth, I'd be happy to help you with adding a family member to your theme park plans. The only thing better than visiting the Walt Disney World Resort is enjoying it with your favorite people!
Kenneth, to enter a Walt Disney World Resort theme park, a Guest must have both valid
theme park admission and a
theme park reservation. The first thing I recommend doing is checking
theme park reservation availability to ensure that the theme park you'd like to visit with your family has availability remaining. As long as the theme park you'd like to visit shows availability, you're good to go!
The next step will be to purchase theme park admission for the additional family member who will be joining you - this can be completed on the Walt Disney World Resort website or by calling the
New Tickets phone line. Once purchased, your family member should link their theme park tickets to their account either via
My Disney Experience on the Walt Disney World Resort website or using the
My Disney Experience mobile app. Next, they'll want to make theme park reservations for the theme parks your family plans to visit on each ticketed day.
Finally, I encourage you to connect with your family members via your Family & Friends List in My Disney Experience. (My friend and fellow panelist, Jennifer,
recently explained this process to another Guest planning a Walt Disney World Resort vacation!) This will allow you to include one another in dining reservations, purchases of
Disney Genie+ service, and
Lightning Lane entry selections!
Kenneth, I hope you've found this information useful, and wish you and your family a magical and memorable visit to the Walt Disney World Resort! If you have any additional planning questions, you're always welcome to stop back by
planDisney again. We're here to help you make the most of your special family vacation!
Magic awaits,
Lauren
