Hello, and welcome to
planDisney, Amy, we thank you for your excellent question!
Vacationing at
The Place Where Dreams Come True is always great fun with friends, and managing all your plans made so much easier with
My Disney Experience planning right from your Disney account online, and using the
My Disney Experience app!
To link friends and family to your My Disney Experience online, once you sign into your
Disney account select
My Family and Friends to add people to your travel party by finding them through connected Guests, or import their details from a Walt Disney World Resort hotel reservation, or entering their name and age where they’ll be sent an email to accept your invitation.
Using the
My Disney Experience app, open the app and from the
Home Page tap the three stacked lines on the bottom right to open your
Welcome Amy page. From there, scroll down to
Link to Account where you will see different linking options, select which is applicable to you and you’re done! As well, using the app everyone has a
Linking Code by accessing
My Profile from the
Welcome page. The linking code is unique to each person and it can be scanned by anyone else in your travel party (or you can scan theirs) to link to the Family & Friends list.
Once linked, anyone in your
Family & Friends list may select an arrival window for a Lightning Lane entrance and then select those from the travel party in the Family & Friends list provided that the same people are not selected for the same arrival window for two different Lightning Lane entrances.
The My Disney Experience app is very handy before and during your visit and when you update the
Payment Method you will be able to enable app transactions for vacation essentials such as opting into the
Disney Genie+ service on the very day of your theme park visit, enjoying
Mobile Food & Beverage Ordering and so much more!
For those tough to secure
Disney Dining reservations, using the My Disney Experience app you can join a restaurant wait list and even select from those in your Family & Friends list with
Mobile Dine Walk-up Availability.
Tips:
Create a Disney MagicMobile pass using the My Disney Experience app to access your Walt Disney World Resort theme park admission from your digital wallet on your mobile device with
Disney MagicMobile Service, how great is that!
Don't forget to make your
Disney Park Pass - Theme Park Reservations using your valid theme park admission!
Now it’s time to pack those comfy shoes and your Mickey Ears and get ready for your visit to The World’s Most Magical Celebration, the 50th Anniversary of Walt Disney World Resort!
Best Disney Wishes ~ Jacqueline
