Hi, Ashley!
While you do not have to stop by the front desk upon arrival, you absolutely can if you want to! I would still do
online check-in just to get the "business" taken care of, such as setting your PIN for charging, entering your credit card information, and contact information. However, once you get to the super fun All-Star Music Resort, stop by the front desk to meet your awesome resort Cast Members, ask any questions, and get any additional information you can use to make your vacation magical.
During
online check-in, you can also make any room requests you might have such as a pack-and-play for any little ones in your travel party, or location requests such as a lower floor. Rooms are assigned ahead of time, so completing your online check-in will help guide the room assignments in the right direction (location requests noted but not guaranteed).
Please, always feel free to stop by the front desk or ask a Cast Member questions. With technology, some guests prefer to just do their own thing, but Mickey Mouse and his team are certainly happy to help face-to-face whenever needed. Enjoy your stay at
Disney's All-Star Music Resort!
