We have early reservations for Be Our Guest the morning of check in. Can we drive straight to Magic Kingdom or do we have to go to our hotel first to activate our magic bands? I will be using online check in when it is available in a few days.

Bonjour Amy! What a magical way to begin your Walt Disney World vacation! Be Our Guest Restaurant is one of my family's favorite places to dine when visiting Magic Kingdom Park. If you will be staying at a Disney Resort hotel and have already linked your tickets in My Disney Experience, you do not need to go to your resort first. You can head straight to Magic Kingdom Park on the day of your arrival. In fact, I have done this very same thing many times in the past, and my tickets were already loaded on my MagicBand since I had linked them in My Disney Experience. I hope this information is helpful to you. If you have any additional questions, please don't hesitate to reach out again. Best wishes for a magical trip, Amy! Bon Appétit, Jodie
