Hi there, Michelle, and welcome to planDisney! I'm so happy you're here with this question about your upcoming Walt Disney World Resort vacation! You'll be walking right down the middle of Main Street, U.S.A. in no time!
Michelle, you'll be happy to know the process of linking your hotel reservation to My Disney Experience should be quick and easy. First, head to the
My Disney Experience website and log in. Hover over "Resort Hotel" and select "Link a Reservation." Enter the confirmation number and last name for your hotel reservation. It might take some time for the reservation to populate, but if you get an error message or need any assistance, don't hesitate to reach out to a
helpful Cast Member.
When you arrive for
Early Theme Park Entry, you'll enter the park at the normal entrance. Follow directions from Cast Members who will show you where you can scan your MagicBand+ or Key to the World card. This will show your hotel reservation and allow you to take advantage of Early Theme Park Entry! Typically, only one Guest per party will scan on behalf of the entire party.
Keep in mind that you might want to arrive even earlier than the posted opening time of Early Theme Park Entry. I like to arrive 30-45 minutes before that time to give myself plenty of time to go through the security checkpoint and the tapstiles. It's also a great time to take a quick family
photo!
Michelle, I hope this is helpful to you as you continue to count down to your vacation at the Most Magical Place on Earth! Please stop by
planDisney with any other questions you have!
See ya real soon!
Jennifer
