Welcome to planDisney, Suhair!
I'm so glad you stopped by with your question. It's a good question. One that I asked myself when I first visited the Disneyland Resort. Like you, I am more familiar with Walt Disney World Resort and My Disney Experience.
Your My Disney Experience account allows you to create a Family & Friends list. This is how you link people to your account. However, Disneyland uses a different system called
My Disneyland. As you've found out, this system does not allow you to create a Family & Friends list.
So how on earth do you link friends and family members across different accounts? Here's what I do, Suhair: I link everyone's tickets to my Disneyland account. Since I'm usually the main planner, this enables me to book everyone's Lightning Lane selections using
Disney Genie+.
To link the tickets is really easy. Simply open up your
Disneyland Mobile App and then tap the three horizontal lines on the bottom right. Then tap "Tickets and Passes" and then "Link Tickets & Passes." You'll then have two options: you can either scan the barcode of the tickets you want to link, or you can manually enter the ID numbers. Once you do that, the other tickets will be linked to your account. You'll then be able to make Lightning Lane selections for anyone who has Disney Genie+. They can also link your tickets to their account by following these same steps.
I hope that's helpful, Suhair. I trust you'll have a truly magical time at The Happiest Place on Earth. Thanks for choosing to be our Guest.
ChEARS!
Mike
