Hi Catherine,
Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! I hope that you're getting excited for your next magical Disney adventure! With
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, gorgeous Christmas decorations, festive music, and lots of special holiday experiences going on, you'll LOVE visiting in December!
I'm glad to hear that you're taking advantage of
online check-in. When you use this great service, you can set up everything ahead of time and completely bypass the front desk. Just make sure to
customize your MagicBand at least 11 days before you check in so that there's time for Disney to mail it to you at home, then when you provide an email address and/or cell phone number, you'll simply receive an email and/or text when your room is ready. Easy peasy! If during the online check-in process, you aren't able to make the room requests you'd like, such as requesting to be near to
water transportation, I'd suggest calling a Cast Member at 407-934-7639 and he or she would be happy to note that request for you. While room requests cannot be guaranteed, Cast Members will do everything they can to try to give you a room that will be
perfect for your stay.
Thanks so much for visiting us at the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Catherine, and please feel free to keep your great questions coming as we're always here and happy to help. I hope that you have a truly magical vacation this upcoming
holiday season!
Missy
