How does Online Check-in work?

When you use Online Check-In, you provide us in advance of your arrival with the information that we typically collect at the Front Desk during the standard check-in process.

If you successfully completed the online check-in process, you can then go directly to your Disney Resort hotel room using a MagicBand to unlock the door. If you don't have one, Key to the World Cards are available at the front desk.

Begin the check-in process in advance of your arrival using Online Check-In on disneyworld.com or with the My Disney Experience app.

What time can I enter the park on my arrival day?

When you arrive at your Disney Resort hotel to check-in you will be provided with any theme park tickets that are included in your package, even if it is before the standard check-in time. You are then free to head straight into the parks and your luggage will be stored securely.
