Park before check-in?

[Opie100]

If we want to drive straight to Epcot before checking in at Kidani, would we have to pay for parking? Or will our wristbands indicate that we are staying at DVC?

not sure with the Magic Bands, usually they just look at the slip that you put in your car that states that your staying at the hotel. (which you get at check in)

They don't always print parking passes for your car.
(I didn't get one at the Yacht Club last week)
They can scan magic bands at toll plazas to verify AP or room reservations.

All the MBs have is a serial number that you can link to your MDE account. If you have your MB and your room reservation linked to the same MDE account, they will be able to verify your reservation.

As a PP mentioned, you often don't get a paper pass now. If you don't they will scan your MB to verify you are staying on property.

I have been to EPCOT and AK, all I did was wave my MB at the CM and they waved me through without scanning the band.
