Hi Jackie!
Welcome to planDisney! Thank you for sending this question to us hEAR. I'm happy to be your planEAR today!
Oooooh, Jackie, you'll be at
The Happiest Place on Earth in just a few weeks! I know you must be getting so excited. And it definitely sounds like you've been doing your homework by making all kinds of plans for your upcoming Disney days! The best way to connect with others in your group is by 'linking tickets & passes' to your family and friends in your
Disneyland Mobile App. To do this you'll open the app and click the icon with three stacked lines in the bottom right corner. From this new screen select the 'Tickets and Passes' option, and on the next page that opens up select 'Link Tickets & Passes' at the top.
This method may not share all of your plans with everyone in your group, especially if said plans were made before your group linked up. Certain plans, like
Dining Reservations and a room reservation at a
Disneyland Resort Hotel, don't require inputting the names of the guests joining you, so they may not show up for the rest of your group. In this case, the easiest way to share what's happening and when is to take screenshots of the plans how you see them in your Disneyland App, and message them out to the others in your party. However, once linked, you'll be able to easily add everyone to any new
Mobile Dine Walk-Up Availability lists and
Genie+ Lightning Lane reservations you (or anyone else in the group) make. (Pro Tip: If you do have any other friends staying in your Disneyland Resort Hotel Room, do stop by the front desk and add their name as a guest in your party; this way if they get locked out or need to make a charge to the room they'll be able to do so on their own.)
I hope that this helped to clEAR things up a bit, Jackie! Be sure to check out the
