Hi Gene! Welcome to planDisney!
I bet your son is very excited to visit the Walt Disney World Resort soon! It is the perfect vacation destination to kick off
summer. I hope he has plans to visit the
Taste of EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival during his trip. It is such a beautiful and tasty event!
It sounds like your son is staying at a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel. If that is the case, you can complete Online Check-In and add the credit card that you want to be charged to the hotel account. This will also allow you to put in a PIN that will be used when your son uses his
MagicBand to make purchases for a layer of security. Once
Online Check-In is complete, your son will only need to visit the Front Desk if he needs to change the credit card on his account, or if he is visiting with others that will be using different credit cards (the Front Desk can designate different credit cards for each Guest). Otherwise, he should be good to go!
I hope this helps, Gene! Please let us know if you have any other questions.
Tabitha
