Hi Sara,
Good news! With
online check-in and an active
MagicBand, you can skip the front desk entirely if you wish and head straight to your Walt Disney World resort room.
When you complete online check-in, it will give you the option to get a text with your room number when it is available. You won't get the text until the day of your arrival, but I like getting that notification while we're on the road toward
Walt Disney World or, if we arrive early, while we're in the parks.
Once you reach your resort, you can stop at the desk for your welcome package. Or you can go straight to your room since your MagicBand also acts as your room key. (Any active MagicBand tied to your
My Disney Experience account should work.)
We love this benefit, especially for late arrival times.
Thanks for visiting the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your question. Your magical vacation is just around the corner. Enjoy every minute!
Wilma
