Checking into your Walt Disney World Resort room has just gotten streamlined! Testing on this began late last year, but has now moved into the active phase of the My Disney Experience life.
The first resorts to convert began on February 10, 2015 and include Animal Kingdom Lodge, Art of Animation, Contemporary Resort, Polynesian Village Resort, Pop Century Resort, and Port Orleans Resort including Riverside and French Quarter.
On February 25, 2015 Boardwalk Inn, Grand Floridian Resort and Spa, Wilderness Lodge, Yacht and Beach Club Resorts will begin the bypass check-in.
Finally, on March 10, 2015 you will have All-Star Resorts, Caribbean Beach Resort, Coronado Springs Resort, Old Key West Resort, and Saratoga Springs Resort and Spa will complete the transition.
Here’s how it works! Once you order your Magicbands for your current stay, and order them shipped to your home, you must complete the Online Check-In process on the My Disney Experience App or Website. You must either pay for your reservation in full, or assign a credit card to you Magicband with a PIN number. And, you must also decide if you prefer to have communication via email or text.
Before your departure you will receive and email explaining the Direct-To-Room service with additional information. You will receive a text or email notifying you of your room assignment. And, once you arrive at your resort a Cast Member will assist you in what to do next.
This is an OPTIONAL service, according to Disney, I would love some feedback from anyone who uses it! Just leave your comments below! Have a Blessed and Magical Weekend, my friends!!

I can’t wait for this! We never have special requests and always use online check in to make things go faster and get us to our room as quickly as possible so that we can get our Disney fun started! I already did online check in for my March trip so I hope we can still do this! 🙂
This sounds awesome!
