Disney Suggests Guests with Upcoming Reservations use Online Check-In

Walt Disney World Resort hotels are reopening later this month and the theme parks are reopening next month. Disney is suggesting that guests with upcoming reservations use online check-in to help with social distancing efforts. Using online check-in will also allow guests to avoid delays.

Online check-in allows guests to go directly to their room once they arrive at the hotel. The process can be done in advance on the Disney World website or on the My Disney Experience app. Guests will need their MagicBand or the ‘Unlock Door’ feature on their phone in order to enter their room.

Using online check-in allows guests to take advantage of Direct-to-Room Service. If you are unfamiliar with this service here’s how it works:

Follow these simple steps to enjoy Direct-to-Room service at your Disney Resort hotel:

Link your Disney Resort hotel reservation to your Disney Account
Use the Online Check-In service prior to arrival
On your arrival day, use the My Disney Experience app to get real-time Resort reservation updates, including a notification when your room is ready
When you receive notice that your room is ready, simply use the My Disney Experience app to find your room and unlock your door with either your MagicBand or the Unlock Door feature on the app

If you arrive before your room is ready, make sure notifications are enabled for your My Disney Experience app. Disney will notify you as soon as your room is ready for you.

Check-in time for all Disney Resort hotels is 3:00 PM, except for Disney Deluxe Villa Resorts, which have a check-in time of 4:00 PM.
