    How do you get your room key

    Hi there, Marguerite! Welcome to planDisney, and thanks for your question. I'm here to unlock your magical adventure at Walt Disney World Resort so you can get started on a well-deserved vacation this summer. 

    Our family loves trying out all of the amazing Disney Vacation Club properties whenever we visit The Most Magical Place on Earth. I like to be fully ensconced in the "Disney Bubble" for our entire trip! In order to enter your room, you can obtain a physical room key at the front desk of your resort when you arrive--but I have a pretty cool option for you that may be right in the palm of your hand!

    One of my favorite features of the My Disney Experience app is the ability to unlock the door of your room from the app! When you download the app, be sure to allow permission for it to use Bluetooth. Link your reservation number to your My Disney experience account--then, when you look at your hotel reservation in the app, you should see an option to "Unlock Door". Agree to use the device to unlock the door, then hold it against the lock for a few seconds--you're in! This is a super convenient feature when you're coming back from the parks with your hands full of shopping bags and popcorn buckets. Although I mostly use the unlock feature in the app, I still get a physical key to have as a backup, just in case!

    Speaking of keys, you might be interested in checking out Disney's Keys to the Kingdom Tour, which is an incredible behind-the-scenes look at Magic Kingdom Park. You'll even get a peek at the famous Utilidors, the underground tunnels that ferry Cast Members and supplies away from Guests' view. There is currently a 15% discount offered for DVC Members, as well!

    Marguerite, I hope you're getting "keyed" up for your July getaway--it's going to be so much fun! Thanks again for stopping by planDisney, and please don't hesitate to reach out directly if I can assist with all things related to DVC and Walt Disney World. 

    Stay Magical!
