Hi Carol, and welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel. My condolences for your family's loss, and please extend my thank you to your sister for her family's military service. I'm so glad to hear you're planning some together time in The Most Magical Place on Earth - you're going to make wonderful memories.
If you haven't already, your first step is to
set up a My Disney Experience account. Set up your Guest profiles, link your resort reservation using your confirmation number, and then use this account to customize your MagicBands and make
FastPass+ and dining reservations. Think of it as your planning hub.
To link your
military promotional tickets in My Disney Experience, go to "My Plans" and then "Park Tickets." Then choose to link a ticket, and then either scan or enter the code on the ticket. From there, you'll assign each ticket to a Guest. If you need assistance with any of these steps, call the very helpful My Disney Experience support team at (407) 939-4357.
Once the tickets and your resort reservation are both successfully linked, you'll be able to make FastPass+ reservations 60 days in advance of your check-in date.
To add a
Disney Dining Plan to your reservation, you'll need to call (407) 939-1936. The Reservations Cast Member will convert your reservation to one that includes the Military Disney Dining Plan, and you'll be all set.
I hope these steps are helpful, Carol, and that you and your sister have so much fun planning and Disney Dreaming! Please come back and see us if you have any more questions.
Wishing you a magical vacation,
Robyn
