First, open the My Disney Experience app. From the main menu, scroll down and select “My Profile.” Next, click on “Friends & Family List” at the top of the screen. From here you can see people that are included on your Friends & Family list and an option to “add guests.”

To add a guest you intend to manage (like a child or a senior who doesn't want an account) on the My Disney Experience app in 2026, tap the three horizontal lines (the "hamburger" menu) in the bottom right corner. Scroll down and select "My Profile," then tap the "Family & Friends List" tab at the top. Scroll to the bottom and tap "+ Add a Guest." Choose the option "I'll enter their name and age." After entering their details, you will be asked if you want them to "Sign in and plan on their own" or if you will "Manage all plans for this guest." Select the "Manage" option. This allows you to link their park tickets, make dining reservations, and book Lightning Lanes on their behalf. Once created, they will appear in your list as "Managed by Me." If you later want to "hand over" the account to them (for example, when a child turns 13), you can go back into their profile and select "Invite to Sign In and Plan on Their Own" by entering their email address, which will merge your managed profile with their new personal account.
