    This is the 1st time staying at one if the disney resorts. I just heard we can can get in earlier. How does that work? And what do I need to get in? Thank you.

    Hi, there!

     Welcome to planDisney, Ariadna. I'm so happy you stopped by and even happier to hear you're planning a Walt Disney World Resort vacation! It's the very best kind if you ask me.

     You're going to love being a Guest of the Disney Resorts Collection. When you stay at a Disney Resort hotel, you can enjoy lots of unique perks! I especially love that a Disney Resort hotel stay means that my family is immersed in the magic of Disney storytelling even after we've left the theme parks. I'm not sure if you're asking about Direct-to-Room Service or Early Theme Park Entry. Let's chat about both!

     One of the perks available to Disney Resort hotel Guests is Direct-to-Room Service. This convenient option allows you to bypass the Front Desk when you arrive! When you use the Online Check-In service on the My Disney Experience mobile app before your arrival day, you'll receive a notification that your room is ready along with your room number. When you get to your room, you can use your MagicBand or the mobile app to open your door! It's super easy. This process doesn't necessarily mean that your room will be ready before official check-in time, but it certainly means that you'll get to the magic faster!

     Early Theme Park Entry is just that - early entry to the theme parks! I'm a big fan of this perk for Disney Resort hotel Guests. I love the theme parks first thing in the morning because that's when they're the least crowded and when the summer temperatures are the most bearable. Early Theme Park Entry allows Disney Resort hotel Guests to enter each of the theme parks 30 minutes prior to official opening time. To take advantage of that early entry, just be sure to be there about 45 minutes prior to official opening time. Your valid Theme Park Ticket is linked to your Disney Resort hotel reservation, so you just need to tap your Magic Band, Key to the World Card, or Disney Magic Mobile at the entrance touch points and you'll be on your way to pixie-dusted adventures!

     I hope this was helpful, Ariadna. If I misunderstood your question or if you have any other questions about your Walt Disney World Resort vacation, please let us know! We'd love to help you plan a magical stay.
