Hi Carolyn! Welcome to planDisney!
What a fun vacation you have coming up! The more, the merrier, and it sounds like you and those traveling with you are in for a magical adventure together. I know there will be so many
memories made that you will talk about for years to come.
What a kind gesture to purchase
Walt Disney World theme park tickets for your friends! You can absolutely do that! You will want to have your friend's
My Disney Experience account linked to your account. You can do this by choosing "My Family & Friends" from the "My Disney Experience" drop-down menu on the Walt Disney World website. Scroll down to "Add a Guest," then on the next page select "I'll enter their name and age." Change the age to 18+, then the option to "Invite this Guest to connect" will pop up. Enter their email address to invite your friends to connect, and once they have accepted, you'll be connected and can plan together!
After connecting, you can assign theme park tickets to them when you purchase them. You will also be able to make
Disney Park Pass reservations for them, add them to your party for
dining reservations, enter
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance virtual queue together, and more. It is truly the best way to plan a Walt Disney World Resort vacation with your friends and family!
I hope this helps, Carolyn! Please let us know if you have any other questions.
