Disney Hotel key as you tickets?

[bamamom]

We are staying at Pop Century in Oct, do they have the room keys I have read about that is also your tickets to the parks and I read somewhere that you could use these for your cash. How does this work exactly? And the service where they will take your packages you buy at the shops back to your resort, is that with all the MYW packages?

Thanks!!

Pkg delivery is a service offered to all Disney hotel guests. You can have your MYW tickets put on your room key. We did this in June and it was quite nice. Just remember with pkg delivery that your pkg will be ready for pick up at your resort the next day. Our kids were rather disappointed on one occasion when toys they had purchased didn't get to our hotel until a day later.

If you're staying in any of the WDW resorts (except Swan and Dolphin) you can buy anything in the parks and they will deliver it to the gift shop of your resort by the next afternoon. When you buy your item, just tell them you want it delivered to your resort, they'll have you fill out a yellow carbon copy thing that has your name, home #, resort, and room#, and then give you a copy of it. When you pick up your item they'll have you sign a little book and give you your pkg with another copy of the yellow slip. At POP you oick up pkgs at the counter as you walk in the front door of the gift shop.

As long as you put a credit card on file when you check in you can charge just about anything to your room during your stay (except for a few of the snack carts). The values have a $500.00 limit, the mods, $1000.00 and the deluxes $1500.00. If you are getting close to your limit, just go to the fron desk and either pay it off or authroize them to go ahead and charge your credit card. Then your limit starts over again. If you don't want them to charge your credit card, be sure to go down the night before you check out to pay your balance, as they will charge your card about 2:00am on your checkout day.

With the MYW tickets your room key will also have your park tickets on them. In my case I have an AP, but bought the MYW tickets in order to get the free dining. My son and D-I-L will use their room keys to get into the parks, but I will use my AP (carrying my room key just for charges and to get into EMH).

I recommend going to Walmart, etc., and buying the lanyard with the clear plastic ID case to wear your key/ticket/cc everywhere you go. This makes it sooooo much easier. ....... only 52 more days!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you request having your room key as your park ticket when you check in, or before you arrive.

Thanks Goofy-Blade for the great idea. Should I buy the plastic id case for my children/ ages 6 and 12??? Thanks

To iamtoad:
If you purchased your tickets through Disney they will encode your room keys and they will also be your park admissions. We do this (and the charging back to the room via the same room key) all the time. It is very convenient not having to carry separate room keys, park admissions, and charge cards.

What if you purchase tickets through ticketmania, can they still swipe them or something and place on a room key?

Also, do most of you purchase a Disney package online or phone in?

I bought my MYW Tickets Separately Through Disneyworld.com and when I got to my Resort I asked them if they could be put on the room key. The CM told me that they couldnt.

 

[etwinchester]

Does that mean you have to buy a package deal then? Not book a room and MYW tickets seperate?

Or just wait until you check in to buy your passes. When I was there 2 weeks ago, I spent almost an hour @ the Concierge Desk having them try to upgrade my Park Passes to Hoppers for the last day. They really had some confusion.

But they credited me about 60 bucks off for waiting so long

I think it's easier if you just book a room, and then before they give you your room key, purchase the passes. - It's much easier having only one card to worry about than two.

All MYW tickets regardless of where they were purchased can now be put on the resort ID. If your Guest Services/Lobby Concierge CM tells you that they can't, ask him/her to check with their supervisor for instructions on how to do it. Sometimes you just run across a CM who doesn't know how to do it or, worse, doesn't want to do it.

Here's the trick question - we're buying 10 day tickets, but staying for 5 days. Do we just keep the room cards for next time we go? Then next time will we have two sets of room cards (one old set for park admission, one new set for room)? Or will they transfer park admission to new room keys?

How confusing!

Yes you would use the old room keys assuming that you had put the no expiration option on them.

Your old leftover days can be put on your new resort ID as long as you are not purchasing any additional tickets for that visit. If you are buying additional tickets, then you cannot have the old ones transferred. You cannot mix tickets purchased at different times onto a single ticket or resort ID.

Yep, we each have one and my 6 year old loves it. around .99 cents in the wallet section of Walmart. A bunch $$ more at Disney!!

I work at AAA and really the packages are better because they cost less. (especially being an AAA member!)

We usually only go to one or two parks when we go to WDW so we buy our tickets at check-in. However, on our last trip (April '05) I won 2 one day park hopper passes (from a local radio station) and they could NOT put them on our KTTW card.

There are still quite a few tickets that cannot be encoded onto resort ID's, among them are AP/PAP/SP, certain complimentary tickets, FL resident tickets, hard ticket events (MVMCP, MNSSHP, NOJ) and some convention tickets.
