Welcome to planDisney Teri, and thank you for your thoughtful question! How wonderful that you're planning a magical multigenerational trip to
Walt Disney World Resort, what a special experience for your entire family! It’s great that you’re already getting everyone organized in your My Disney Experience account, and I’d be happy to help you decide the best setup for your children.
While it’s absolutely fine for you to manage your entire group under your account, I would suggest that your adult children create their own
My Disney Experience accounts if they haven’t already, and then be added to your
Family & Friends list to share plans with everyone in your party. This allows them to access plans, view tickets, make
Lightning Lane selections, and use features like mobile food ordering right from their own devices. It also gives them more flexibility during your visit, especially if you split up at times or want to book experiences separately.
I find the easiest way to connect to the accounts of friends and family members is by using your Linking Code. To find your Linking Code, tap on the 3 horizontal lines on the bottom right of the My Disney Experience app. Scroll to the bottom of the screen then under Account, tap “Profile.” Next, tap “Show My Linking Code.” The app will then prompt you with a warning explaining what the linking code is. Once someone scans your Linking Code, you’ll be added to their Friends & Family list. Next tap “Show My Linking Code.” The app will then create a unique linking code. There’s a QR version as well as a manual code that your friends and family can type in.
Teri, I hope you find this information helpful as you prepare for an exciting visit to Walt Disney World Resort! Thank you again for visiting planDisney. Have a magical day!
Kay
