ARRIVAL INSTRUCTIONS
GETTING IN THE GATES: All DVC properties are protected by gates. To get in, show your legal photo ID. All adults must have photo IDs. The reservation is in YOUR NAME, not the DVC owner's name. So you should not tell the gate any name but your name, as disney employees only have you on their lists. You do not need any other document besides your photo ID and your reservation number.
DAY OF CHECK-IN: Resort check-in starts
at 4pm. If you have to come earlier, goto the concierge and they can hold your bags while you eat or visit the parks. At
4pm, goto the front desk of your DVC resort and present your photo ID and confirmation number. If you did not order magic bands, room
key cards will be available at the front desk.
Note: if you have received magic bands before arrival and disney happens to text you a room number, you can proceed directly to the room and do not need to visit the front desk. Text numbers can be given to disney during the
pre-check-in procedure.
MULTIPLE RESERVATIONS: If your have multiple reservations (in different resorts or room types), you will need to do check-in again
at your second leg. If you have multiple reservation numbers back-to-back in the
SAME RESORT, room type and room view, inform the desk clerk
of your reservation numbers and make sure to ask them not to move you on the second leg.
RESORT BAG MOVES: If you are changing rooms during your stay at DVC, make sure to ask the concierge desk for free bag movement help the day before the move. Disney
will come take your bags and bring them to the next leg while you eat and play.
AIRPORT TRANSPORT: We are now offering bus signup service to and from Orlando International. Please
see here for details and registration.
IDENTIFYING YOURSELF: While on your trip, disney identifies you by your legal names, not the name of the DVC OWNER. Do not state the following to cast members: "I am a guest of the owner, I am a renter, etc." Disney has you in their system in your name and your reservation is a normal reservation. They identify you as you.
PLANNING AND WAIT TIMES: If you have a smart phone you can download disney's official free planning tool (Disney Genie)
which will help you make reservations, organize your day, and access ride wait times. Look for "Disney Genie" in your smartphone app store.
