Rumors are swirling this week about “Direct To Room” Check-In at Walt Disney World Resort! Imagine stepping off The Magical Express and going straight to your room, dropping off your luggage and heading out to jump into the magic! If the rumors are true, many of us will begin to experience this enhancement in the near future! Direct to Room check-in allows you to bypass the front desk and head STRAIGHT to your room. Disney World has made this an optional service. Guests will have the ability to check-in online and receive a text or email message telling you what your room number will be upon your arrival. Your Magic Band will have the information loaded on it, so you simply head to the room when you arrive at the resort!

We will be watching and waiting for the “official” release of this information. For now, be sure you have a My Disney Experience Account and that your resort reservation is linked. You will also need to have your magic bands shipped to your home, pay the full balance of your reservation or provide a credit card pin and state a form of contact (phone number and / or email address).
If this service does not appeal to you, do not worry! You can always enter the lobby at your resort and do on-site guest check in. Disney Cast members are always there and willing to help guests!
Stay Tuned!
