    Hi Laurie!

    Welcome to planDisney! When it comes to entering your resort room, you’ll have a few different options. Let’s chat about them!

    In order to use your My Disney Experience app to unlock your resort room, each person will need their own account so they can log in to the app. And everyone will need to have the resort reservation linked to their account. 

    Once you’re logged into your My Disney Experience app, you’ll click the 3 lines at the bottom right of the screen, scroll down to click Hotel Reservations, then click Unlock Door. 

    If someone in your party doesn’t have the app, you can purchase a MagicBand/MagicBand+ or ask a Cast Member at the front desk of your resort for a Key to the World Card. Both of these can be used to unlock your door. 

    It’s good to note that you’ll need a My Disney Experience account if you’re using a MagicBand/MagicBand+, though. But that account can be managed by someone else. This is exactly how it works for my young boys – their accounts are managed by me, but they can use their MagicBands to unlock our resort door since I have them linked to our resort reservation. 

    Since you’re staying at a Disney World resort, you’ll have the option to purchase a MagicBand+ at a discounted rate prior to your trip. I just recently started using this new generation of MagicBands, and I have to admit…the features on them are pretty fun! Plus you can use them during future trips, which really helps to get your money’s worth. 

    I hope this was helpful! Come back to visit us if you have any other questions.
