    If I just did the online check-in for my upcoming stay, when will I receive my Walt Disney World Resort Dining & Shopping Promo Card?

    Hello there Juan, and welcome to planDisney! We're so happy you're here... we love helping guests plan all the magical details of their Disney vacations. Then once you arrive, you know what to expect and can just enjoy every moment!

    I believe you are describing the Magical Extras that are offered to guests staying at a Disney Resort. This is just one of the many awesome benefits of staying onsite at a Walt Disney World property! These pixie-dusted "extras" include not only discounts on Disney dining and shopping, but also a free round of miniature golf at either Fantasia Gardens and Fairways or Winter Summerland. Although this used to be something sent to guests in the mail, in advance of their stay, it is now offered for pick up at the front desk of your resort. So I recommend swinging by once you arrive, and a Cast Member will have it waiting for you!

    Many of the dining locations that offer a discount with your Magical Extras card are found in Disney Springs. This awesome shopping and dining district is definitely worth spending some time in, and there is no admission required. Your resort will have Disney transportation buses available to take you to and from Disney Springs.

    The exciting addition of Cake Bake Shop® Bakery by Gwendolyn Rogers at Disney World has been a huge success, offering famously delectable cakes and gorgeous ambiance inside this lovely new restaurant. I see this is one of the dining locations currently offering a discount with your Magical Extras card. Located in the area of Disney's Boardwalk, you could potentially walk over to this location, from either EPCOT or Hollywood Studios if that sounds appealing? It definitely has "special celebration" vibes... if you've got something you'd like to celebrate during your vacation!

    Juan, I just want to make sure you've also heard about the promotion in 2025 that you'll have the opportunity to experience. All Disney Resort guests receive free admission to a Disney water park on arrival day. If that works into your plans, it's a guaranteed good time!

    Please feel free to return to planDisney with any additional questions. I'd be happy to also share recommendations on Disney dining, must-do attractions, or just tips on maximizing your time at the parks. I hope you have a practically perfect vacation at Walt Disney World!

    Reach for the sky!
