You can stop by the Front desk at any time to pickup a room key. That's the only way to get one. So you could go directly to your room when it is ready and then on your way to a park just swing by the Front desk to request a room key.
Thanks. SO the card that works as a room key is not the same card that works for the park. Sounds like it's the one for guest services that we want then.
The card that works as a room key IS the same as the ticket card. So you can go to the front desk on the way to your room when you arrive or later, on the way to the park, whichever is more convenient. Or you can get a card at a ticket booth, Guest Relations, or the tapstyle when you enter your first park. Personally, I prefer the ticket booth or GR, so that we’re not holding up guests trying to enter behind us.
ALL MagicBands continue to work forever for anything that requires tapping because the tap station provides the necessary power/signal. Battery power is ONLY used for long range features like ride photos and name boards. As long as a MagicBand is active and correctly linked to your account, it can still be used. Of course, there are cases where a MagicBand is no longer linked and you need to visit Guest Services or your resort front desk, but that's a computer database problem, the MagicBand is still working.
Thanks. Yes I have verified that the numbers on the back of them match the magic band numbers that show as active in our MDE. They're old and ugly but as long work for rides and reservations, then we're good.
Thanks. So previous info was incorrect? Good if it's one card. And very good if we can pick it up at the front desk on arrival day....that way we don't have to worry about it on the first day at the park (day after arrival day) as we want to make early entry, and that would end that plan.
Yes, what you’ll get are basically “Key to the World” cards that are linked to each guest’s profile in MDE, just like a MB would be. So room key, park tickets, Genie+LL and VQ, charging to room, all functions that involve tapping to Mickey. AFAIK, the cards do not have what’s necessary to link long distance ride photos to MDE, they can only link ride photos where you can tap at the exit.
You won't see it until the day you check in. It'll show when the room is ready.
thank you !
Shades doesnt offer online check-in as you need your military ID to check-in and you need to get your room key and resort IDs.
@Sarahh1027 Is correct that Shades doesn't offer online check in but you still want to link your reservation to get any on site Disney hotel perks. Although it's not much the extra 30 mins you get will be nice. Try linking from a PC and not in-app and use the long reservation number with the letters in the middle. If you don't have the type of confirmation you can call and they hotel should be able to give it to you. Have a great trip!
Mine for June is showing but won’t pull reservation info in app or web. Guess Disney and Shades are having an issue.
Yes it’s the same for me. It shows just the name of the hotel but doesn’t show any other information. I talked to Disney tech support and they said it won’t, but as long as it shows that I’m staying at shades of green without the detail we should be able to get in for early entry
