    I just recently moved to a different state and am going to Disney in a week. I have not changed my drivers license yet, will it matter if my address is different from my address on file when I check into the resort?

    Hello, Felicia! Thanks for bringing your question to planDisney! Your visit to Walt Disney World Resort is fast approaching, so let's get to it! 

    Congratulations on your recent move! A vacation is likely what you need right now! When you check into your Walt Disney World Resort hotel, you are usually asked for identification, as well as a credit card to keep on file. My experience has been that Cast Members do not need the addresses to match. As long as it is a valid photo ID (such as a driver's license, government-issued ID card, passport, or active military ID) with your name, you should be fine. Alternatively, you can use the Online Check-In Service and bypass the front desk altogether.

    You could not be visiting at a better time! There are so many favorite attractions reopening this week, as well as new experiences. Remove your hats and glasses because the wildest ride in the wilderness, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, is back after a lengthy refurbishment. Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin got an upgrade with handheld blasters. I tried it last week and can say with confidence that this attraction is going to be at the top of everyone's Magic Kingdom list! Plus, there's Soarin' Across America in EPCOT and Rock n' Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets in Disney's Hollywood Studios. I'm running out of room! Check out this Disney Parks Blog post for everything you can expect.

    You'd better get packing, Felicia, because you'll be on your way soon! You are going to have the most magical time! Please let us know if you have any more questions. We're always happy to help!
