Does each family member need their own Disney account?
If you are willing to keep the whole family on a single account, then they'll need their own when (if) they begin traveling to Disney World on their own or making plans with friends who aren't on your Friends & Family List.

Julia, one of the great things about the My Disney Experience app is that while each member traveling with you (ages 13 and older) can choose to use the app with their own My Disney Experience account, they don't have to.
Even if the whole family is using a single account, you can use a single MDE account on multiple devices at the same time. You'll be able to try for a Virtual Queue on one device and a primo Lightning Lane pick on another at the same time.
Make sure that both of you have your own My Disney Experience accounts, have downloaded the My Disney Experience mobile app, and have connected with each other (ensuring that you are sharing plans). This will allow both of you to make reservations from your individual devices and accounts for your travel party.
For children under the age of 13 and Guests that do not wish to have their own My Disney Experience accounts, you can create a My Disney Experience account profile managed under your account by selecting "Add a Guest" at the bottom of your Family and Friends List.
On your device, go to My Profile and choose Family & Friends List at the top.Scroll to the bottom of your list and select Add a Guest and then Scan their linking code. You'll be able to use your phone's camera to scan your wife's linking code. Once she accepts the invitation to connect, you should be all set.
Up to four different devices can watch Disney Plus at once. Each Disney Plus account can have seven active profiles so that the whole family can have their own profiles.
If you purchase an Annual Pass, one is needed for each family member ages 3 and up. If you are a Florida resident, you can purchase the Disney Pixie Dust Pass or Disney Pirate Pass.
Hover your mouse over the My Disney Experience tab, then click My Family & Friends. Scroll down until you see the people you'd like to co-manage plans with, then click Update next to their name. When you're here, click Share Planning, which will invite this other Guest to accept and co-manage their account. Ta-da!
