My Disney Experience is a website and mobile app that allows guests to plan their Walt Disney World vacations. One of the key features of My Disney Experience is the ability to link park tickets and reservations to your account. This allows you to easily manage your plans and take advantage of special features like FastPass+ reservations.
Linking tickets to My Disney Experience can seem complicated, but it’s actually a straightforward process. Here’s a quick rundown of how to link both purchased and complimentary tickets to your Disney account.
How to Link Purchased Tickets
If you purchased Magic Your Way tickets, park hoppers, or tickets with extra options directly from Disney, linking them to My Disney Experience is simple.
Link tickets purchased from Disney through My Disney Experience
1. Log into your My Disney Experience account
2. Select “My Reservations and Tickets”
3. Look for the “Link Tickets” option
4. Enter your ticket confirmation number and the last name of the person the tickets are for
5. Select “Link Tickets”
Once connected, you’ll see your tickets listed under the “Tickets” section of My Disney Experience. You can then make FastPass+ reservations and other plans using those tickets.
Link tickets purchased from Disney through email
If you purchased tickets directly from Disney but don’t see the option to link tickets, Disney should have sent you an email confirmation with a link at the bottom that says “Link Your Tickets.” Simply click that link and you’ll be prompted to enter the same ticket confirmation number and last name. This should automatically link them to your My Disney Experience account.
Link tickets purchased from authorized ticket reseller
If you purchased discounted Walt Disney World tickets through an authorized ticket reseller like Undercover Tourist, you can still link them easily:
1. Log into your My Disney Experience account
2. Select “My Reservations and Tickets”
3. Look for the “Link Tickets” option
4. Select “I want to link my tickets from a different source”
5. Enter the 12-digit confirmation number provided by the reseller
6. Enter the last name of the person the tickets are for
7. Select “Link Tickets”
This will connect your reseller tickets to your account. You can then make FastPass+ reservations just like with tickets purchased directly from Disney.
How to Link Complimentary Tickets
You may receive complimentary Walt Disney World tickets through contests, promotions, guest recovery coupons, or even as gifts from family and friends. Linking these types of tickets requires a few extra steps since you won’t have a typical confirmation number.
Link promotional tickets
If you received tickets through a promotion like a work contest, you likely received a Voucher ID number. Here’s how to link these:
1. Log into your My Disney Experience account
2. Select “My Reservations and Tickets”
3. Look for the “Link Tickets” option
4. Select “I have a promotional or certificate code”
5. Enter the Voucher ID code and last name
6. Select “Link Tickets”
Link guest recovery tickets
Guest recovery tickets are complimentary passes that Disney gives out for various reasons like ride breakdowns or hotel issues. The confirmation number format is different than normal tickets:
1. Log into your My Disney Experience account
2. Select “My Reservations and Tickets”
3. Look for the “Link Tickets” option
4. Select “I have a promotional or certificate code”
5. Enter the V#-####### guest recovery code and last name
6. Select “Link Tickets”
Link gifted tickets
If you receive physical tickets as a gift, you’ll need to convert them to an electronic confirmation number first:
1. Call (407) 566-4985 or email [email protected]
2. Provide the ticket numbers printed on the back of the physical tickets
3. Disney will email you a confirmation number that starts with G#-#######
4. Log into your My Disney Experience account
5. Select “My Reservations and Tickets”
6. Look for the “Link Tickets” option
7. Select “I have a promotional or certificate code”
8. Enter the G#-####### confirmation code and last name
9. Select “Link Tickets”
Once linked, the tickets will appear just like any other tickets in your My Disney Experience account.
Troubleshooting Tips for Linking Tickets
In most cases, linking tickets to My Disney Experience is quick and painless. But occasionally you may run into hiccups that prevent linking. Here are some troubleshooting tips:
– Double check that you’re entering the confirmation number correctly. It’s easy to mix up letters and numbers accidentally.
– For promotional or gifted tickets, be sure to select the correct ticket type in the dropdown menu before entering your code.
– If it’s a child’s ticket, make sure you’re entering the child’s last name rather than an adult’s last name.
– Check whether the tickets have already been linked to another Disney account. Tickets can only be linked to one account.
– If you purchased tickets as part of a group or package, try having the primary traveler link them instead of each person.
– As a last resort, you can call Disney Ticketing at (407) 566-4985 for assistance linking tickets over the phone. You may need to verify account ownership.
Get the Most from Linked Tickets
Linking your tickets is just the first step to fully leveraging My Disney Experience. Be sure to take advantage of these added benefits with linked tickets:
Make FastPass+ reservations
Each ticket linked in My Disney Experience gets 3 FastPass+ reservations per day to skip the regular standby line for popular attractions. You can make these reservations up to 60 days before your visit.
Utilize MagicBands
With tickets linked, you can associate your MagicBands with your account. Your MagicBand will then act as your park ticket, unlock FastPass+ access, and make purchases throughout the parks.
Reserve access to special events
Certain special events like Early Morning Magic have limited capacity. With your tickets linked, you can book these add-on experiences in advance.
Upgrade to park hopper
If you decide you want park hopper access after purchasing base tickets, you can use My Disney Experience to upgrade your existing tickets to add this option. Upcharges apply.
Monitor ticket usage
In the app, you can review which tickets have been used on which dates. This helps prevent accidentally using the wrong tickets.
