How to Link Tickets and Hotel Reservations in My Disney Experience

If you've purchased Walt Disney Earth Resort tickets, you lot'll want to link them in My Disney Experience ASAP and then that you can make a park reservation using Disney World's new system, Disney Park Pass.

To link your Undercover Tourist tickets, beginning with either your e-mail confirmation, E-ticket or mailed ticket. When you wait at your Surreptitious Tourist E-tickets (either the ticket itself or your confirmation email), you'll employ the Reservation # to link in My Disney Experience. You can find this at the peak of your ticket or on either of the barcodes. Y'all can also scan the barcode straight into the app using your smartphone!

And sometimes, in that location are room occupancy requirements in the system, which can accept some backend organization to go your party situated (for instance, considering we have five guests and three rooms at Swan Dolphin for a contempo stay, a cast member had to create a profile for "Guest A" for us so at that place were two guests per room). If this happens, cast members are hoppy to help! They can be reached at (407) 939-1936 (or 0800 16 90 749 from the UK).

Disney Genie

As of Oct. 2021, a new feature to My Disney Experience is Disney Genie. There are three components to the new planning system — the free Genie planning tool, the optional paid Genie+ service to brand ride reservations and the individual Lightning Lane selections for rides not included in Genie+. Genie+ or pay-per-ride individual selections permit you to save time and enter attractions through the Lightning Lane (the old FastPass+ lines). At Disney World, Genie+ costs $15 per day per person and allows yous to book arrival windows throughout the day to more than 46 attractions. Two rides per park are excluded from Genie+ and are additional costs per ride to access the Lightning Lane.

You lot can add Genie+ to your trip in 2 ways:

This is also the route yous would take if y'all just want to use Genie+ for certain days but not your unabridged trip, or as a last-minute determination.

The Disney Genie organisation is fully integrated into the My Disney Feel app and then all of your planning is in i place! In My Disney Experience, apply the "+" button to aggrandize the card on the homepage and you'll see "View My Genie Day and Tipboard" — pressing that will rub the lamp and go your Genie feel started!

My Disney Experience Features

In that location are and then many hopful features on My Disney Experience! You'll find that the tools included in the app are informative and can too assistance you save some fourth dimension in the parks. It's a smashing resources to accept on paw. Here's what you tin can practise in My Disney Experience in each stage of planning your holiday.

Before Yous Arrive

Guests can now make Advance Dining Reservations up to threescore days in accelerate of their trip. Disney Globe Resort hotel guests tin make reservations 60 days before check-in for the length of their trip. Those staying off-site will need to book 60 days in accelerate of each day of their trip. Reservation windows open at half dozen a.k. EST (sorry, West Declension frogs! Get your caffeinated beverage of choice at the gear up!).

To brand an Advance Dining Reservation on the My Disney Experience app, press the "+" push in the bottom navigation bar. From there, you lot'll select that you'd like to cheque dining availability. On a browser, you'll visit the acme navigation bar and hover over "Things to Practice," and then select "Brand Reservations."

On either platform, yous'll and so select a engagement, time and party size. You can also refine by park, resort or surface area (toward the acme under "All Parks & Resorts"). There are some other filters available to play with, such as dining experience, price range, cuisine guest rating and whether or not dining plans are accustomed (note that Disney Dining Plans are temporarily unavailable). All of these filtered details will too exist available in more detail in the search results.

For table-service dining in the theme parks, don't froget that you'll need both valid admission and a Disney Park Pass reservation for that particular park on that item day. If, for case, you're hoping to dine at Be Our Guest on a detail day, yous'd need valid access and a Disney Park Laissez passer reservation for Magic Kingdom Park on the same solar day of your dining reservation. If you are park hopping, y'all are able to make dining reservations at the second park, just entry is yet not guaranteed, peculiarly if that park is nearing — or has already reached — capacity. So far, there has simply been one day since reopening in July 2020 where park hopping was temporarily unavailable (Magic Kingdom on the first day of the 50th anniversary). This was an farthermost example and has never occurred on a typical park 24-hour interval, only information technology's something to keep in mind while planning.

Prior to arriving, you can also start the check-in process if you'll be staying at a Disney World Resort hotel. You lot should see your resort hotel on the homepage, with a link to "My Resort;" click that and you lot volition see the dates of your stay, your confirmation number and the type of room yous'll have. To the right of this, you'll see a button that says "Beginning Cheque-In." From here, you can add together information such as a PIN to exist able to charge to your room, contact data, room location requests, what fourth dimension you expect to arrive and the choice to gild and customize a MagicBand.

Disney Globe Resort hotel guests will no longer receive free MagicBands for their stay. My Disney Experience, however, will too have MagicBand'south digital room key function for on-site guests; guests tin can still opt to purchase upgraded MagicBands for a minimal fee. Additionally, Disney will no longer be giving complimentary MagicBands to annual passholders. However, passholders may utilise MagicBands that they already take and will keep to receive discounts for ones purchased. MagicBand functionality volition remain effectually property.

If you choose to customize a MagicBand, it volition automatically be linked to your account. You tin link an existing MagicBand or one that isn't already listed in My Disney Experience (for case, if you buy one from ShopDisney or around property) in the app. To exercise so in the app, head to the three horizontal lines, then cull "My Profile," followed by "MagicBands and Cards." Then, select "Link a MagicBand or card." Y'all'll and then insert the ID code on the MagicBand and select which member of your party the MagicBand belongs to. Y'all can set up (or reset) a Pin for MagicBand purchases hither, or in the steps below, if you are a Disney Resort hotel guest.

At this betoken, if yous oasis't already, it's a practiced thought to ready up your preferred payment method, not only for incidentals simply as well for whatsoever mobile food ordering you'd like to do. You tin can prepare your payment information in the same mode as you'd link a MagicBand: "My Profile," and then "Payment Method." Y'all can then use the blue "+" to either scan your credit card or manually key in the numbers. You can also remove sometime payment methods or edit your current payment method here if you've previously included it.

Only below your payment data, you tin also set a Pivot for your MagicBand purchases. A few tips regarding MagicBand charges:

• MagicBand charges are only available to Disney Resort hotel guests.
• Anyone using the same My Disney Experience business relationship will employ the same PIN, and then make certain it's something you lot're willing to share.
• At that place are spending limits, as this is finer just a style to charge back to your room. If you find that your band gets declined, contact the forepart desk to pay downwardly the remainder earlier you lot continue charging.

Y'all can cheque your daily itinerary at any time in "My Genie Day" or "My Future Plans." This includes your tickets, hotel stay, Disney Park Pass reservations and dining reservations you have planned.

We highly recommend downloading the app so that you have easy access to apply it while in the parks (and be sure to enable location services!). From hither on out, y'all'll likely solely exist using the app. With that in mind, nosotros also recommend that y'all bring a portable charger with you to keep your phone fully juiced after a long park day.

Using My Disney Experience at Your Disney Resort Hotel

All of this information and prep work serves a purpose! On check-in twenty-four hours, you'll receive a text or notification notifying y'all that your room is ready — online check-in for the win! This allows guests to bypass the Front Desk-bound unless they have specific questions or concerns. Once you have your room number, y'all tin can view a map of your resort for more specific directions on My Disney Experience if you aren't familiar with the grounds.

My Disney Feel is too your all-time source for news or updated policies, including Disney Globe's new health acquittance, park health and safety policies and property news. If yous have questions at any time, there'southward also an online chat feature.

Using My Disney Feel When Dining

By this point, yous've fabricated your Advance Dining Reservations. Simply of course, there are times when an unplanned meal or snack pops upwards; your dining reservations likely don't business relationship for all of your meals. My Disney Experience tin aid with food-time features such as Mobile Order service, mobile cheque-in for tabular array-service restaurants, online menus, and of course, boosted dining reservations. Recently, My Disney Feel added a feature to allow guests to "Check Dining Availability," and if y'all select "at present" every bit your timeframe, the app will show you which restaurants are currently accepting walk-ups, starting with those closest to y'all.

If you didn't snag a dining reservation you wanted, we always recommend continuing to check back leading upwardly to and throughout your trip in instance that particular restaurant has availability — guests can and practise abolish their reservations!

If you're anything similar united states of america, we generally don't plan a dining reservation for our arrival day (there are just too many variables, and I e'er starting time sweating thinking nearly making it someplace on time). Instead, we take our time to arrive, become settled and then decide what we'd like to practice equally a family unit. Sometimes, that ways a quick bite on our manner to the pool; sometimes, that means a nicer sit-down option together before we catch that dark'southward Movies Under the Stars. No affair your touring way, My Disney Experience has the functionality to go you fed!

Mobile Order service enables you to order ahead at your favorite quick-service restaurants.

If you'd rather sort by what'due south around yous, select the map pin icon to the bottom right of this list to see nearby options.

One time you've picked your arrival time, information technology's time to get to the good stuff — option your fave!

Yous'll so be prompted to make it your ain, customizing and choosing sides, if applicable. One time that's done, click "Add together." (If you find that the "Add together" button isn't available, double-bank check that y'all've filled out all of the selections.)

You lot can go along this until your order is fix, then click on the shopping bag icon in the meridian right or the "View My Order" push button at the bottom of the folio. Yous'll see a summary of your society, where you can either become back and modify or review. In one case you're ready to review, you then have the option to continue to check out (with a credit bill of fare) or pay with Apple Pay. The final step is to show upwards at the restaurant within your specified timeframe, select "I'm Here" and pick up your food! Information technology sounds like a lot of instructions, just actually, we've establish that the app does a great chore of walking you lot through each pace. You'll be a pro in no fourth dimension!

In My Disney Experience, y'all can also view menus digitally. Most table-service restaurants have switched to an online menu at this time and are also using mobile cheque-in (which is also washed through My Disney Experience, similar to the "I'm Hither" characteristic for Mobile Order). Recollect that map you used to view your resort's details? You can do that all around holding, and it's an like shooting fish in a barrel way to see which restaurants offering Mobile Order. At the acme of the map, press on "Wait Times" and select the "Dining" option.
