I've been using my husband's account and we are getting ready to go to Disney. Can I have my own account? We have other adult children that we bought tickets for, so they are on our account. How do we all have our own profiles and use the app individually? When I enter my ticket number or my account number with my unique profile and unique email it keeps giving me an error message that that account has already been set up.
Hi louise, Yes there is a way to do this. First make sure each of you have already created a my disney experience account with your own emails. Then what you need to do is have your husband log into his account and go to his family and friends list. From there he can go one by one to those who he manages, and click update on the right side of the page for each person one at a time. From there, click "Share Planning With Guest" and that will allow him to send an invite to merge the managed account with the account you made. That will then link all tickets, plans etc. I hope this helps
@@BearSavvyTravels Helped me too! If I set it up this way, will each member be able to do their own thing? As in go to different parks etc and not have to be together all the time?
Hey Asha. If you switch the accounts from "Plans Managed By You" to each person having their own individual account the answer is yes. You'll each be able to make your own plans, go where you want, and use Genie+ separate from each other.
As long as you have your own account in My Dis eg Experience and you are linked to your family yes! BUT if you are managed by another family member you want be able to make plans in your own.
Hi Chris, I really appreciate your video. So helpful. I have linked my family on the app and it seems that is all right. They have differente accounts. Will I be able to purchase genie+ together ? Or each one should purachese it separatelly ?
I really appreciate the video walkthrough, But is there a way to go to the park with out have to do all this app gymnastics.. i dont like taking my phone everywhere i go, plus my battery doesn't have a long life.
Glad you enjoyed it, and there is, the only thing you really need to do is make a park pass reservation, and show up to the park. The only precaution I would give you if this is what you decide to do, is to understand that you're park visit is going to be very different from those who have planned using the app, or are using disney genie+. There are plenty of days where I just show up to the park, and hang out, but I go with the expectations that I will be waiting in longer lines, it is going to be harder to get a sit down meal some where, as reservations will be booked, and really I am just there to take in the park, and not try to do the absolute most I can do. I find these days great cause it is very relaxing, especially since I am not trying to run around and do the absolute most in the park.
@@BearSavvyTravels Thanks for the feed back. I am working on a ride list for each park, ( Must ride/if there is time ). We were thinking about just skipping the ride that we have already, back in Disneyland.
I did this and my profile doesn’t have my picture on it but says it’s on there. Also I can only see my ticket and the original,leader. Do I have to do the invite for everyone who party member and then they have to do it for there device?
Hi Chris, excellent video. I have a question you may be able to help me with. I am travelling with a family of 11 in Aug. We all have tickets, and I have added them L to my family and friends list. We have all our park reservations and dining reservations made. I am currently set up to manage their profiles. My question is, can I now let them manage their own profiles ? If so how? Also are our park & dining reservations at risk when I do this? Thanks in advance.
Hey David, Thanks for watching, and so glad that this helped. You can actually merge their managed accounts with an account that they created and it shouldn't affect anything. If you check my reply to the pinned comment it explains exactly how to do this. Once you update the accounts it should transfer all of the plans that you have made for their managed account to their individual account. I hope that helps.
@@BearSavvyTravels Hi Chris…thanks so much for coming back to me. I’ll try that and hopefully it works Super stuff and thanks for making the “science” that is Disney, that little bit easier to navigate.
Other members that you manage should be able to log into your My Disney Experience on their devices and make plans for the whole party, but they will be logged in as you, they won’t be able to log in as themselves. If you are going to have others use it on their phone you are better off with everyone just making their own account. I will be making a video soon about accounts that you manage l, when to use them, and how to create them
When the person buying tickets via their MDX creates names for the additional family members that are going, what if those people try to set up individual profiles for themselves? Is there any issue with duplication when you try to link a group together for Genie+ and LL booking strategy?
So my issue is, my wife and i are using the same account on our phones. Her phone shows the tickets and resort, mine don’t. I try to link the tickets to my phone but says they are already claimed
It sounds like you might have 2 accounts, one that you are logged into with your own email, and one that your wife is managing. You may need to merge the two accounts, or if you are both logged into the same account you need to log out and create an actual account linked to your own email
Yea so the solution here would be to log out in one phone create an account for yourself that is linked to an email, and then merge the managed account with your account linked to your email which I go through in this video ruclips.net/video/TA-nCIXVU4E/видео.htmlsi=O9lfnLji4t5DrHp4
Hey Samuel. So once you have them in your family and friends list, you can select which plans you want them to see, either all your plans, or plans that you share with them. You can also update any reservations you have, like park reservations, dining, or resort reservations, to include them. Simply go to your plans, click modify or update, and then you can update the party so that those who you are planning with will see the plans on their MDE account.
The Disneyland app is actually very different from the my Disney experience app we use at Walt Disney world. There is no friends and family list in the Disneyland app like there is in the my Disney experience app
My biggest question no one can answer. I have an annual pass….family is coming to visit that booked their own reservation….how do I book us ALL together with lighting lane on genie plus?? Is it good enough to just manually add their names? They don’t physically have their tickets yet, so how does the park know they are in my party? So confusing.
Then not having their tickets yet is what is causing the problem. So in order to purchase Disney genie+ they will need to have their tickets and park pass reservations. Then you want to make sure you all are connected as friends and family. Then you will be able to purchase Disney genie+ at midnight the day that you are all visiting and you’ll see them as available to make plans with after you purchase Disney genie+ for the day. Let me know if this helps
Also @Nightowl333 if you wanted to join my Walt Disney World community opening up this month, you can do so here for free bit.ly/FREELIFTETIME I’ll be sharing some content there and then you can also DM me directly for questions like this
What if it’s 3 families ? And only one of each uses their email and the rest of the party is created manually within the app by the person who has an account? How do you connect everyone together ? Thank you 😊
Hey Kathleen, So you can still connect people together even if they are managed by someone else. Once you're connected as family and friends with someone who has an account linked to their email, you can then go in, and scroll to the bottom and click add guest. Then hit Find Through My connected Guests at the top. This let you connect to people that someone else is already connected with as a friend, or an account that someone else manages.
So two people are not able to create separate accounts with the same email they will need to each create accounts with different emails and then you would use the email that they used for their account

Have you gotten to use the Genie stuff yet curious on your thoughts? We head down next Friday (Nov 19) for the week.
I have not actually used any of it myself yet, but planning to shortly so that I can share some updates on it.
are you able to still make your own reservations if your family wants to go their own way one afternoon?
As long as you have your own account in My Dis eg Experience and you are linked to your family yes! BUT if you are managed by another family member you want be able to make plans in your own.
