Do I need a paper confirmation?

[lkg61]

I am leaving for WDW in 5 days. My reservations were made through DU for a room only. Do I need anything "official" to check in with?

I too would love to know the answer to this... I know I don't leave until August but I'm just wondering if I don't recieve anything before hand.

And yes I wrote down my confirmation number.

Could you call and ask them?
I too would feel better with confirmation in hand. I received mine a month or so after I made ressies.

Common sense says "yes, get it in print". That said, we have never had a problem and when I lay the paper on the counter for the front desk CM, they don't even look at it.

I would think in most cases you'd never need it. They aren't going to want to see it unless there is some discrepancy in your version and the one they have in computer. I would feel better having one though, because if your reservation is "lost", that's your proof that you actually had one. I really don't know if this can happen though. Anybody ever arrived for check-in only to be told that "we don't have a reservation under that name"?

You don't "need" it, but many people feel more secure with a piece of paper or a number!!

I booked two rooms at CSR (first time trying this resort) on April 26th for Nov. 5 - 10. At this point I have not received a paper confirmation, however, I did receive a small packet which contained a "welcome to CSR " type pamphlet.
Within a month I plan to call and pay in full over the phone, I may ask about the confirmation during that call. In the meantime I have made a copy of my credit card statement showing the payment to WDW Central Reservation which I'll stick in my travel folder just in case there is a glitch of some kind.
