    Hi! I have a question about connecting family and friends via the app. I made the reservations for my family though my account, including my nephew. So in the app I have control over his account. How to I change it so my sister has control over his account

    Welcome to planDisney Jamie, thank you for stopping by with your question! It sounds like you're in the midst of planning a magical visit, and I’m so glad to help you make the most of your time at Walt Disney World Resort. Managing your party’s plans through the My Disney Experience app is a fantastic way to stay organized and connected and I’d love to walk you through how to link and manage your Family & Friends list to ensure everyone is ready for a seamless and pixie-dusted adventure!

    To allow your sister to access your nephews tickets, she will need to create her own My Disaney Disney account, if she hasn't created one already, then adding her to your Friends & Family list. I would next suggest connecting your account to hers on her own devices. This will allow you to manage all your plans from your own account while still being able to share reservation plans and tickets with everyone in your party. Your sister will be able to see all plans including Walt Disney World Theme Park Tickets and Lightning Lane Selections. 

    Once you've added her, open the app or website and go to your Family & Friends List. Find your nephew’s name in the list. Since you created his profile, it will say that the plans are managed by you. Select his name, then choose the option to "Share Planning With..." You’ll be asked to enter your sister’s email address that is linked to her Disney account. Once you send the invitation, your sister will receive a request to accept the connection. After she accepts, the system will transfer planning control of your nephew’s profile to her.

    You will still remain connected to your nephew in the Family & Friends list, so you can continue including him in plans if needed, but your sister will now manage his profile.

    Jamie, I hope this helps you feel prepared as you continue planning your Disney adventure! If you have any more questions along the way, we’re always here to help. Wishing you all a magical and memorable trip!
