Hi Andrew, welcome to planDisney!
In just a few short weeks you'll be crossing under the colorful archway that welcomes you to Walt Disney World Resort. The excitement will continue to grow until you lay eyes on
Cinderella Castle, which recently received a royal makeover as part of
The World's Most Magical Celebration. Have you considered purchasing
Memory Maker for your trip? A Memory Maker - Advance Purchase will save money and provide you with unlimited downloads of all your magical memories captured by
Disney PhotoPass photographers throughout the parks.
I wear the Disney planning ears in my family and can understand your desire to have your child's
My Disney Experience profile managed by your wife. I didn't actually manage my own children's profiles until recently and will start by sharing that your wife can still plan for your child as long as they are connected as
Family and Friends in My Disney Experience. Being connected as Family and Friends means she can do the following for your child:
link tickets and other vacation entitlements, make
theme park reservations, make
dining reservations, purchase
Genie+, book
Lightning Lane attractions, and more!
If you decide you'd still like to proceed with making your wife the official manager of your child's My Disney Experience profile before your trip, you can do so via the live chat feature of the Walt Disney World Resort website. If available, click on the Chat icon in the
Help Center. Chat is available 7:00 a.m. through 11:00 p.m. EST. If the Chat icon is grayed out, that just means Cast Members are busy helping other Guests. I recommend hanging out on the Walt Disney World
homepage and going about your other online business until a chat invitation appears. Just make sure your sound is turned up so you'll hear when the invitation pops up. The Cast Member will ask for your name and My Disney Experience account information as well as the name and email address attached to your wife's My Disney Experience account. It makes the process easier if you are already connected as Family and Friends.
I hope you have a great time experiencing the magic of Walt Disney World Resort with your family next month, Andrew. Please let planDisney know if you have any other questions before, during, or after your vacation.
Choose magic,
Jennifer
