Hey Disney Vacationers! If you’re planning a Walt Disney World vacation, the very first step isn’t packing your bags or booking flights—it’s creating a My Disney Experience account. This little login is your golden ticket to the magic. Without it, you can’t link park tickets, manage dining reservations, or use Lightning Lane Multi Pass. Think of it as the control center for your Disney trip.

Let’s break it down step by step so you’re set up for success.

What Is My Disney Experience?

My Disney Experience (MDE) is Disney World’s official planning hub. You’ll use it to:

• Link and manage your park tickets.
• Add your Disney Resort hotel reservation.
• Make dining reservations.
• Use Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Single Pass.
• Join virtual queues (when available).
• Order food from mobile dining.

For more on My Disney Experience, check out my full breakdown of what the app entails.

Here’s the catch: your Disney Account (the login you use for Disney+ or Disneyland) is the same account you’ll use for My Disney Experience. If you already have one, you’re halfway there.

• If you’ve logged into Disney+, ESPN+, Hulu or purchased anything on ShopDisney, you already have a Disney Account. Use that email and password to sign in.
• Every adult in your group should have their own account with their own email.
• Kids 3 and older don’t need separate logins—you can add them under a parent’s account.
• Children under 3 don’t need an account because they don’t require park tickets.

Pro tip: Designate one person as the “lead planner.” This helps keep everything organized.

Step One

1. Head over to the Walt Disney World website.
2. Spot the “Sign In or Create Account” option at the top? Click on it!

Tips

• Best to do this on a web browser, whether on your computer or phone
• For a smoother experience, use the “private” or “incognito” mode on Chrome or Safari.

Step Two

1. If you’re already a Disney Account holder, just sign in with your credentials.
2. New to the Disney family? No worries! Click on “Create an Account”.

Step Three

1. Fill in all the required details.
2. Once done, hit the “Create Account” button.

Step Four

Success! Your My Disney Experience Page should now be all set up and looking magical. Remember to repeat these steps for each family member.

Setting Up the My Disney Experience App

After creating your account, download the My Disney Experience app on iOS or Android. This is where the magic happens in the parks.

Inside the app, you can:

• View your park tickets and reservations.
• Mobile order food.
• Join virtual queues.
• Book Lightning Lane selections.
• Unlock your Disney Resort hotel room with your phone.

It’s free to download, and it will be your best friend during your trip.

FAQs: About Creating a My Disney Experience Account

Do I need a separate account for each family member?
Each adult needs their own. Kids can be managed under a parent’s account.

Can I use my Disney+ login for My Disney Experience?
Yes, as long as it’s the same email and password.

What if I forget my password?
Click “Forgot Password” on the login page and follow the steps to reset.

Can kids under 13 have their own account?
No, Disney requires kids under 13 to be managed under a parent’s account.

Is the My Disney Experience app free?
Yes! Both the website and app are free to use.

Creating a My Disney Experience account is the first step to making your Disney World vacation stress-free. It only takes a few minutes, but it unlocks every tool you’ll need for park planning.

I’m no stranger to Disney planning, as a Disneyland magic key holder and DVC member. I’m the person people ask for trip planning advice. But I had never been on a Disney cruise, and had heard great about Nate and decided to reach out. I’m so glad I did because we could not have been happier with our experience. His tips and insights were incredibly helpful, and he was incredibly responsive any time we had a question. Who do the Disney experts turn to when they need help? Nate, that’s who.

We’ll definitely be using him again.

Our experience working with Nate as our Disney vacation planner was exceptional. He was responsive and thorough. He gave us insights that made the trip go much more smoothly. We were able to really relax and focus on quality time as a family and have so much fun doing it! I will definitely reach out for any future trips.

Could not have wanted or expected more from Nate, our Distrips and More agent as we planned our 2025 Disney World trip. Nate was VERY responsive to emails and texts and more than willing to do whatever he could to guide us and answer our questions.  On several occasions I emailed him over the weekend not expecting a response until Monday but each time he responded before the weekend was over.  He even participated in a Zoom session with our group of five seniors as we planned our trip. He also helped us at the 11th hour when we added a family member to our travel group less than a month before our trip.  Without a doubt, I will reach out to Nate when I'm ready to plan my next trip to Disney World!

We are so thankful we used Nate to plan not only our first Disney trip, but also our second. He made the process so easy for us, especially for us since it was our first time going. There was a lot to consider and many decisions to make, such as where to stay, when to go, and what to experience. Nate really helped us narrow down what we wanted to do overall, but he didn’t stop there. He provided detailed guides to help us navigate the airport and find our transportation to the resort, as well as a guide to explore the resorts and make sure we saw the best Christmas decorations. One of the many amazing things he also did was set up our dinner reservations for us. This saved us so much stress and allowed us to get some of our top choices. From the moment we landed in Orlando to the moment we headed back home, he made sure everything went smoothly. You truly can’t go wrong with going to him for your next trip.

Nate was absolutely the best planner I have ever had.  Will most definitely be using him again.   He took care of everything and kept me on track.  Was so very helpful in making all the dining reservations and everything.   Can't thank him enough.   He made our trip completely stress free!

Nathan has been an amazing trip planner for me! So helpful and responsive. I am a very type A person -- so someone who is even more on top of their game than me -- is so so appreciated! Nathan has booked 3 trips for me (1 completed 2 pending) and it was perfection. Thanks again!

Nate has helped us with our vacation planning for the last couple of years and we couldn't be happier with his service and expertise. We've used other travel agents in the past and none of them have done as phenomenal a job to make sure every detail is taken care of as he has. Switching to Nate was one of the best decisions we've ever made. He's always quick to answer questions and works tirelessly to make sure we get everything we want from our trips. Plus, he's just a genuinely great person who is wonderful to work with. Whether you're planning a trip to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, a Disney Cruise, or any other vacation, Nate is the guy you want putting it all together! Five stars across the board!
