    Hi, I have been using the My Disney Experience app for our last few trips and are returning in a few months. The account is under my daughter’s name and I show up as a family member. Any way I can switch that?

    Welcome to planDisney, Melissa! Thanks for stopping by today with your question; I'm excited to see you're planning a return visit to the Most Magical Place on Earth, and visiting during the holiday season is even more special as the sights, sounds, and smells of the most wonderful time of year fill the air and bring joy to the world!

    Melissa, if your daughter currently manages your profile in her My Disney Experience account, you will need to first create your own account and then have her link your old, managed account to your new one to transfer ownership (and all of the magic that comes with it!) over to you. This will include giving you access to any existing plans made for your profile, such as Theme Park tickets, MagicBands, or dining reservations. Once you have created your new profile, your daughter will need to go into her My Disney Experience mobile app and find your managed profile on her Family and Friends List. From here, she can click Send Email and enter the email associated with your new profile. Once you accept this invitation, it will transfer any plans already made and allow you and your daughter to co-manage and plan together for future visits!

    Melissa, since you'll be visiting during the holiday season, you'll have the opportunity for some unique offerings like the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays, Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom Park, and Disney Jollywood Nights at Disney's Hollywood Studios! You will also be surrounded by dazzling decorations at the Theme Parks and Disney Resort hotels - my family loves jumping on the Disney Monorail and exploring the gingerbread houses at Disney's Contemporary Resort and Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa.

    Melissa, I hope this helps you to transfer your account so you can finalize all of your magical plans! If you have any other questions before your trip, come on back to planDisney and let us know! We're all ears!

    See you real soon,
    Alison
