    How do I add people from my friends and family list to my resort reservation

    Hiya Alicia! Welcome to planDisney!

    Woohoo! Before you know it, you'll be embarking on your magical adventure at the Most Magical Place on Earth. The only thing more exciting than a Walt Disney World vacation is a Walt Disney World vacation with family and friends, and I'm thrilled to help you add some extra Mousketeers to your Resort reservation.

    To add Guests from your Family & Friends List to your Disney Resort Hotel reservation, start by logging into your My Disney Experience account. Hover over the My Disney Experience tab, select "My Plans," and scroll down to find your Resort reservation. Next to the reservation, click the "Change Reservation" button, and select "Change" next to "Travel Party." Correct the size of your travel party and click the "Update" button. It will appear as if you're searching for a whole new reservation, but just keep swimming! Simply select your current room type and follow the steps to update your reservation and add the Guests from your Family & Friends List.

    Just be aware that in my experience, the price of the room may increase a bit if you are adding a third or fourth adult as a Guest, and sometimes, certain reservations aren't eligible for online modification. But Hakuna Matata! It means "no worries."  If you have any trouble adding your Guests, call a helpful Cast Member with Tickets and Hotel Reservations for assistance. They'll be more than happy to work their magic for you!

    One more thing, Alicia! Summertime is my favorite time to visit Walt Disney World, and my top tip for visiting in the summer is to "rope drop" (arrive before park opening) the parks, cool off and kick your feet up with a midday pool break at your Resort, and then return to the parks for an enchanting evening. It's the best way to beat the heat and the crowds!  

    I hope this was helpful, Alicia, and I hope you, your family and friends have the most magical time together. Please stop by any time with any questions you may have.

    See ya real soon!
