    I have checked in on line for an upcoming stay at The Treehouse Villas. I have a magic band+ linked to the account. Will that magic band get me through the gate when we drive from the airport or do I need to go to the Saratoga main gate entrance?

    Hiya, Christine!

    Welcome Home and welcome to planDisney! How exciting that you are planning a stay in one of The Treehouse Villas at Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort. I haven't had the chance to stay in these beautiful Villas, but several planDisney panelists have, and they love it.  I love the home-like amenities all Disney Vacation Club Resorts offer, which sure make our Disney vacations even easier! 

    Christine, if your MagicBand+ is already linked to your My Disney Experience account, you should be able to tap into the Resort as long as you are checked in. You can do that before you arrive on your My Disney Experience account. Sometimes, on your first visit, a security guard will greet you, double-check your name on the reservations list, and ask for a photo ID.  I recommend having it handy just in case.  Additionally, even if your MagicBand+ is linked to your account, sometimes the pixie dust gets disconnected, and it doesn't work the first time you tap it.  But that is an easy fix at the Front Desk of your Resort.  I always recommend charging your MagicBand+ each night to be sure it has all of its magic for the next day.  

    I hope this helps you, Christine! If you have any further Disney Vacation Club questions, soar back here to see me, and I'll be happy to help you.

    Magically Yours,
    Keri
