Thank you so much for your reply. Super helpful. I'm a bit confused about this though. Your comment regarding the laptop seems to indicate I can do all of this before arriving at the park.
When I go to
MDE - My Plans I see my party's FP reservation but nothing else.
When I go to tickets and passes I see the names of everyone in my party with their 1day/1park ticket. If I press the plus icon, there is a section to link tickets- however I have nothing to link at this time. I only have a confirmation email from my purchase with a barcode on it.
So my understanding is that I must take this barcode to ticketing to get our actual hard tickets (the plastic cards) and the number/barcode/QR/whatever will be on that card. Then I'll open the app, use the link tickets function and link each plastic card ticket to each member of my party in the app. Yes?
Or is there an easier way??? (Not purchasing magic bands)
(My apologies if there is a better place to find this answer. New to this board and not a regular at Disney!)
