Hi there, Stephen, and welcome to planDisney! It sounds like you're planning a practically perfect vacation for your family, and you've come to the right place for all of the Walt Disney World Resort vacation advice! My Panelist pals and I are here and always happy to help Guests just like you!
Stephen, you'll be glad to know that a Key to the World Card is a great way to
access the magic during your Walt Disney World Resort vacation. Though it looks like a standard hotel room key, it can do so much more than unlock your
Disney Resorts Collection hotel room door. With your Key to the World Card, you'll tap in for
entry at the Disney Theme Park tapstiles, be able to charge purchases and
dining plan meals and snacks to your Resort hotel room, access Lightning Lanes for the selections you've made, and even connect
Disney PhotoPass Service snapshots to your Gallery. Just head to the Front Desk at your Disney Resort hotel and ask for this complimentary card. Each member of your party will receive one card that will be valid throughout your visit.
If you have any questions about how to navigate the
My Disney Experience Mobile App before your visit, please don't hesitate to reach out. There are so many features in the app, and it's where you'll make
Lightning Lane Multi Pass selections, place
Mobile Food and Beverage Orders at nearby quick-service dining locations, check wait times at your favorite attractions, and more. You'll definitely want to familiarize yourself with the app before your arrival - you'll love all of the convenience it offers!
If I could offer you some advice, it would be to go ahead and use
Disney MagicMobile Service. It allows you to download your Disney Theme Park tickets to the wallet of your smartphone, so even if your Key to the World Card is misplaced, you won't skip a beat. My kiddos like to play with their MagicBands, so I have their tickets downloaded with MagicMobile just in case the MagicBand flies out of the stroller!
Stephen, I hope this is helpful as you make your vacation plans. Please head back to planDisney with any other questions you have as you count down to your visit!
See you real soon!
Jennifer
