    My 15 year old will be joining me at a Disney resort after his school trip ens. He will join me 2 days after I check in. What is the best way to get his tickets

    Hi, Cynthia. Welcome to planDisney! Your arrival date is right around the corner. You must be bursting with excitement! What a great opportunity for you to spend some quality time with your son after he finishes a fun trip with his school friends.

    Personally, I would suggest that you have your son create a My Disney Experience account, link him to your friends and family list, and assign him the tickets that you purchase. Purchasing and assigning tickets right in the My Disney Experience Mobile App is a cinch. Let’s get started.

    If your son has a smartphone, have him download the My Disney Experience (MDE) app. He will be prompted to go through the simple steps to create an account. Once this process is complete, you and your son should both go to your profile by pressing the (☰) and scrolling down to “profile.” You will press “Friends & Family” at the very top of the page and then scroll down to “Add a guest.” For your son, there is a button at the bottom of the profile page that says “Show My Linking Code.” You can then scan his personal link code or manually enter the number displayed. Follow the steps indicated, and he should show up on your friends and family list.

    Now press the (☰) again, hit “Tickets & Passes,” and then the blue (+). Press “Select Tickets,” and you’ll follow the instructions to choose which tickets are best for your son. You’ll be able to assign them to him during the purchasing process.

    Cynthia, did you know that Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin recently reopened with some special new enhancements? The new features and new character look amazing! I’ve recently received a high score challenge from my planDisney pals, Sean and Olivier. I can’t wait to blast them out of space! 

    I hope this helps to acquire tickets for your son. I’m sure that there is a lot of magical quality time in your future. If you have any other planning questions, don’t hesitate to bring them to us at planDisney. We’ve got you!

    Have a magical day.
