Bienvenue á planDisney, Théo! Thank you so much for stopping by with your question. I'm so happy to see you here,
mon ami!
Your magical vacation is right around the corner! Soon, you'll be able to make your advance dining reservations. This is one of my favorite steps in the planning process! Remember that your booking window will open promptly 60 days before your check-in date, and you'll be able to start making reservations exactly at 6 a.m. EST (noon in France).
Théo, I'm very pleased to let you know that you're more than welcome to keep your Key to the World card as a souvenir. In fact, if you really, REALLY like your card, you'll be able to keep using it at the
Walt Disney World Resort in the future! Key to the World cards, much like Disney bands, have to be linked to your My Disney Experience account in order for you to get into Theme Parks, redeem your Lightning Lane entrances, and link your Disney PhotoPass pictures.
Once your cards have been linked, they can never be unlinked! This means that your card will always work as long as you have a valid Theme Park ticket linked to your name as well. In addition to this, you'll be able to pick up your Key to the World card at your
Disney Resort Collection hotel's Front Desk at any time, even if you opted into the online check-in process.
Since I'm an avid Disney collector, I actually own over 30 Key to the World cards (including my Walt Disney World Annual Passholder card) and over 40 Disney bands. Every time I visit the Walt Disney World Resort, I simply pick the cards and bands that I'd like to use during that particular trip, and that's it!
Have a magical vacation, Théo! If you have any other questions in English
or en français, please don't hesitate to reach back out to us for help. We're always available and happy to help!
Warm hugs,
Ana Paula
