Greetings, and welcome to
planDisney, Ryan!
Thank you for bringing your excellent question to planDisney - it would be my pleasure to assist you today so you can continue your planning to
The Most Magical Place on Earth during the Halloween Events and Festivities - BOO-tacular!
Ryan, check-in at the
Walt Disney World Dolphin is a little different than check-in at Disney Resorts Collection Hotels. To manage your check-in and other hotel-specific vacation essentials you will need to download the
Marriott Bonvoy app and kindly create a Marriott account. Upon your arrival at the Walt Disney World Dolphin Front Desk, you can check to see if your Guest Room is ready and if it is not, then you can leave a contact number to receive a Text notification when your Guest Room is ready. Ryan, you are welcome to leave your luggage with the hotel bell services so you can head out, catch a Friendship Boat and enjoy the nearby
Disney's BoardWalk entertainment, shopping and dining area. Or, catch a ride on the nearby
Disney Skyliner gondola transportation from Disney’s Hollywood Studios for a breezy and scenic ride to EPCOT and many other Disney Resorts Collection Hotels on the gondola route.
Ryan, you will be pleased to learn that Guests at the Walt Disney World Dolphin enjoy some of the magical benefits as Guests at Disney Resorts Collection Hotels, such as
Early Theme Park Entry and
Extended Evening Theme Park Hours.
Tips:Be sure to
link your Walt Disney World Resort dining and Enchanting Extras Collection reservations and purchases to your Disney account to be able to enhance your visit and access the Disney magic during your stay. Ryan, you can purchase a
MagicBand or MagicBand+ at Walt Disney World Resort or in advance of your arrival via
shopDisney to store your valid theme park admission and to enjoy many interactive experiences. And be sure to download the
My Disney Experience app to manage your plans and travel party before and during your visit - especially with saving time waiting in lines for attractions that offer the Lightning Lane entrance by purchasing the
Disney Genie+ Service.
Don’t forget to make your
Disney Park Pass - Theme Park Reservations for each day of valid theme park admission as this is the process of visiting the theme parks at this time.
Check to see if your Walt Disney World Dolphin reservation is eligible for the
Quick-Service Dine Card, an affordable way to eat on the go.
Ryan, I hope this information serves you well. Please stop by planDisney to ask me about enhancing your experiences during your visit - thank you!
