Hi Nancy,
Welcome to planDisney!
I am delighted to know that you are planning a trip to the Walt Disney World Resort! If you have not done so already, you need to create a
My Disney Experience account. Once you have that account created, you need to
link your Walt Disney World Resort Hotel or vacation package confirmation number
. If you have a
vacation package, once that reservation is linked, you should be able to make payments online. Just login to My Disney Experience, go to My Plans, find your resort reservation and then click on Make a Payment. If you have a room-only reservation, you can
pay the balance due upon arrival or you can
call to make payments.
If you have not done so already, make
Disney Park Pass system reservations for each day that you have valid theme park admission. Review the
resort hotel updates a few times prior to your visit since resort experiences and dining availability at resorts could change prior to your arrival. Be sure to also familiarize yourself with the
resort transportation options at your resort hotel.
Prior to arrival, I highly recommend that you use
Online Check-in. We checked in online prior to arrival on our most recent visit. While on Disney's Magical Express®, we received a text message saying our room was ready. We were able to skip the front desk and go directly to our room using our MagicBands to unlock the room door. If you will not have MagicBands, you should be able to use the
My Disney Experience Mobile App to unlock your room door. Once you have arrived, you can also use the My Disney Experience Mobile App to do
Mobile Dine Check-in,
Mobile Food & Beverage Ordering and to check
Mobile Dine Walk-up Availability.
Nancy, assemble your superhero crew! We are so excited to welcome you to a world of magic!
Magic and memories,
Donyell
