Hi Stuart,
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! We are so happy that you have joined us.
If I am reading this correctly, you are traveling as a larger group and have some Disney Vacation Club Members staying in Villa at
Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas and some Guests staying at
Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge with a cash reservation booked with free dining. I hope that is right!
Members and Guests are only permitted one Walt Disney World Resort hotel reservation under their name for the same night. Since
MagicBands are linked to an individual, you cannot use your MagicBand to unlock both the Villa and the Resort hotel room. That said, Cast Members at Check-In would be happy to provide you with additional Keys To The World Cards, just like the system before MagicBands, so that you could all have the ability to unlock both doors. These are not linked to
My Disney Experience so they can be used by any Guest.
I hope that helps to clear that up. If I misread the question, please follow up so that I can
be sure provide you with the right information!
Wishing you many magical memories,
Sally
