Hi there, Janice! Welcome to planDisney!
Your adventure begins in just a few days! Ka-Chow! I'm happy to help you with some last-minute planning so you can spend every second enjoying The Most Magical Place on Earth!
The
Walt Disney World MagicMobile Service is most likely what you're referring to when it comes to accessing your plans from your Apple Wallet. The MagicMobile service is quite handy and can save time and energy during your stay! To use this service, you'll start by
linking your tickets to your My Disney Experience Account. Then, using the My Disney Experience Mobile App, tap the menu button in the bottom right corner, followed by "Disney MagicMobile." On this page, you'll follow the instructions to create your MagicMobile Pass, which you'll be able to use to enter the parks, scan into your ride reservations, connect
PhotoPass photos and charge to your
Disney Resort Hotel room. Each Guest can follow the same instructions to set up their own MagicMobile Pass or you can create one for all Guests of your party and click "Select Passes to Share" to distribute it to them directly.
Janice, the MagicMobile Pass can be stored in your Apple Wallet, but this tool can not yet be used to open the door to your Disney Resort Hotel room. That power is reserved for
MagicBands or the
My Disney Experience Mobile App! If you have a MagicBand linked to your tickets, simply tap the band to the Mickey Mouse icon on your door and Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo, you're in! If you're not using MagicBands for your trip, you can use the My Disney Experience Mobile App. Simply open the app, tap the menu button again, but this time, choose "Resort Hotel." This page houses all of your room reservation information. Tap "Unlock Door" and hold the phone up to the Mickey icon on your door to enter. Be sure that your Bluetooth is turned on for this feature to work.
Here's another pro-tip: On most Apple devices, you can bypass most of those steps to use the My Disney Experience App to open the door. Locate the app on your home screen, then hold it down. A small menu will pop up and one option will be "Unlock Door." When you tap this, it takes you right to your resort reservation and you'll follow the original steps from there!
Janice, I'm so excited for you to experience all of the magic at the Walt Disney World Resort. You're arriving in time for
The Most Magical Celebration on Earth, a special 18-month long party for the 50th anniversary of Walt Disney World. Be sure to check out all the pixie-dusted extras, like the
Fab 50 Character Collection of Golden Statues in the theme parks and the Disney Enchantment Nighttime Spectacular!
Until next time,
Ashley
