Which documents needed for check-in?

We stay at a Disney Vacation Club resort for most of our stay, but I booked one night at Terra Luna before our visit to Epic Universe in order to be able to use Early Entry.

Since we keep the room at WDW, we will only take what is needed for the night. We booked the room through a booking portal and apparently because of this won't be able to do Online Check-In in the Loews app.

I would prefer to leave our passports in the safe at the Disney hotel, unless it is absolutely needed for check-in at Terra Luna. Would a Non-US drivers license or ID card OK as well?

We were asked to show our passports at Portofino a couple of years ago. Mind you, that's a different hotel so could in theory have a different policy. The website just says "Valid photo ID" so in theory your non-US card works. Might be a YMMV situation. If it were me, I'd just take the passport. I'd rather have it near my person anyway.

Even with online check-in, you still need to stop by the desk to show a valid ID of the lead guest. If you book several rooms, they also want to see the ID of the lead guest in each room.

With online check-in, the room card(s) should be printed pre-arrival and ready for pickup. You need the cards to enter the room and for early entry.

Agreed with Musika, I also would keep the passport with me at all times in case of emergency.
