Hello there, Jennifer!
I know changing your last name can be so time-consuming, but I’m happy to share that the Walt Disney World Resort makes changing your name easy. I recently had to update my last name and was amazed by how simple it was.
Once you purchase your tickets, make sure to link them to your
My Disney Experience account. First, select the ticket icon at the top of the page and press
“Link Tickets.” You’ll manually enter the ID Number or Confirmation Number from your confirmation email to link your tickets to your account.
Jennifer, I like to check that the tickets are linked to my account by using the
My Disney Experience mobile app. After you sign into the app, select the three horizontal bars in the bottom right corner of the screen and select “Tickets and Passes” to see your tickets appear.
Once it comes time to change your name, you’ll need to go to the
“Manage your Walt Disney World login” website to update your last name and select “Done” at the bottom of the page. Now, go back to the “Tickets and Passes” page in the mobile app to confirm that your name has been updated on the ticket. If you run into any issues, you can always
call a friendly Cast Member to assist you.
Besides your valid ticket, make sure to make a
theme park reservation for each day you plan on visiting the theme parks. In addition, you’ll also need a mode of entry, such as a
MagicBand, the complimentary
Disney MagicMobile service in the My Disney Experience mobile app, or a physical ticket that you can pick up at a ticket window. I hope these tips help you have a very merry vacation!
May the magic be with you!Melanie
