I'm traveling to WDW with two friends in late Nov. They have never been, so I've had them make up MDE accounts. If you go to the WDW official site, there is a link to either 'log in' or 'create an account'. Choose the create an account. Then you can send them a request, via email (and there's a spot to do that in Family and Friends for each person) to connect with you. Then they can see any shared plans.
But, I have a question. Both my friends have created their own MDE accounts. I have sent the request to connect email to both of them. Only the wife has responded and is now connected to me, allowing me to make plans for both of us. For some reason, the husband isn't getting the email....I've sent it twice!!!! Can't figure it out. The site says I can still make plans for us while waiting for the connection, but I ran into an issue with that with other friends (however, in that case, I truly think one of them messed up on her end!!!). Any suggestions as to why only one of them has been able to connect?
