My Disney Experience finally gets an user-friendly update


For a stress-free Disney or Universal Studios vacation, let the FREE expert planners at Royal Carriage Vacations take care of every detail including dining reservations, applying discounts, and onboard cruise credit.


If you’re familiar with My Disney Experience, the app used to help plan and manage your Disney vacation plans, you’ll know that not all features are exactly user friendly. Now, the app has finally been updated and we love this user-friendly new option! Are you excited about the ease of this new feature?

One of the least user friendly aspects of My Disney Experience is the ability to find and connect to other Guests.

You will need to be “friends” on My Disney Experience with anyone in your travel party, so that you can connect dining reservations, Lightning Lane passes, and Individual Lightning Lane selections to them.

But finding these friends isn’t easy. Previously, Disney made you jump through all kinds of hoops just to find and then connect to these friends. It involved adding email addresses, names, ages, and all kinds of other information. Then, the friend had to approve you.

If you needed to make this connection quickly, well, that wasn’t happening.

Now, My Disney Experience has been updated to make it easier to connect with family and friends through the app.

My Disney Experience now includes a “linking code” feature that will allow you to easily connect with others.

Using it is so simple! We have been waiting for this to get easier!

You will open your QR linking code under My Profile. From there, a friend can scan it, and it will link your accounts to book Genie+, Lighting Lane, view Photopass photos, and more!

Will you be using the new QR linking code to link to your family and friends on My Disney Experience? Let us know in the comments below, or tell us on Facebook.
