If you get a text/email before you arrive saying you're room is ready and the room number, you can Bypass The Front Desk and go right to your room.

If you don't get a text/email saying your room is ready and your room number then stop by the Online Check In Desk.

You will get a text message or email about your room number once it's ready, and skip the Front Desk and go straight to the parks if you want.

You *MIGHT* get a text message or email. There are a good number of us who have never gotten that elusive text or email even when the room was ready. In one case even predating online check-in where everyone had to go to the front desk. Was told my room was not ready yet. She entered my cell (I saw and verified that the number was correct) and said I'd get a text. Off I went to the parks. Much later - as in post-fireworks - I had still not gotten a text, so it was back to the front desk to see if the room was ready. It was, but I didn't want to assume.

And that said, even if you DO get the text or email (or see it on your MDE app - that's happened to me), no one is barring you from going to the front desk anyway.

Maybe, but maybe not. Not everyone that completes Online Check In will get to Bypass The Front Desk.

A few weeks ago I got a text our room was ready but we had to go to the front desk for the room number.

Yeah, sometimes they don't text your room number though. Sorry.

Stayed at the GF last week and did online check in. Under my preferences they asked what time I was arriving which was 8am. Literally at exactly 8am i got texted message saying room is not ready. Around 1pm I got
a text message with my room number and I went right to the room using my magic band to open the door.

Did online check and since then flight has been cancelled. Rebooked but now we may get to the resort right after midnight. Still trying to get in earlier.

Do I call DVC (booked on points at kidani) or just change the time online/leave it. I'm really just afraid our room will not be there upon arrival for 10 nights.

Thanks for any help. Gotta love that Chi-town snow.
