Do you need an AP BEFORE checking into hotel?

[DisneylandGuy22]

Hello,

I am planning a trip to Universal in about 3 weeks. I will be purchasing a new AP once I arrive. I was hoping to stay onsite for 2 nights at RPH. My question is do I need my AP activated before i check in? or can do they assist me with activating my AP at checkin and then receive the AP rate for the 2 nights?

Once you have your activated AP, the resort will adjust your rate accordingly. APs have to be activated at the parks.

I booked on line and was never asked for mine.

That seems to be the norm.

They will when you check in.

I've only once been asked for mine and I'm pretty sure Wadekind is already back from vacation.

Thats true, and now that I think of it, I have not been asked for mine in a long time. But I normally book either the FL or AP rate. Either way I can prove both rates.
