Where to activate AP before checking in to BW?

[ellenmiele]

We will be checking into BW - deluxe concierge - but since I got the AP rate I need to activate my AP before I check-in (yes?) since when I arrive I will only have the voucher. My question is -- where would the most convienient location be to do this? We (myself, DH , 4 kids) will be driving so we have our car and we will probably arrive around 11 am -- we were planning on staying around the BW area for the early afternoon and heading out to MK before dinnertime. Any ideas as to the easiest way to do the AP activation/checkin would be appreciated. Thanks.

Don't go out of your way. Most resort CMs will accept the voucher as proof. And those that don't must allow you to come back within 24 hours and show them the activated AP.

In your case, the two easiest places to activate your voucher would be at the International Gateway entrance of Epcot or at the Guest Relations window at MGM. Both of these are accessible from the BW by boat or can be easily walked. Or since you are driving, you could also choose to stop at either of the two Guest Relations locations at DTD before you arrive at BW.

We've checked in many times with nothing but the voucher. Sometimes they ask us to come by the next day to show the actual pass, sometimes they don't. You should be fine to check in with the voucher.

I haven't been asked to show proof either, but being you are so close to International Gateway you can pop over there and activate it. I activated mine there in March after checking in at BC.
