Where do I check in?

I hear that there are no more room key cards at Disney resort hotels. How do I get into my room?

Walt Disney World has converted their room keys and admission tickets from plastic cards to MagicBands, flexible plastic wristbands, resembling a watch or bracelet, that use Radio Frequency (RF) technology. Your MagicBand is linked to your My Disney Experience (MDE) account ( and acts as your Disney resort room key. Simply touch the Mickey symbol on your MagicBand to the RFID reader near your room door to gain entry. Read about using MagicBands for park admission, FastPass+ and more here:

What is the pool like?

The Beach Club Villas have their own quiet pool called Dunes Cove, complete with a heated spa and a pool building with lockers and restrooms. The quiet pool has it's own supply of towels but no lifeguard. You also have access to Stormalong Bay, a three-acre mini water park featuring a "ship-wreck" water slide, hot tubs, and whirlpools.

Is Stormalong Bay as great as everyone says?

It sure is! Where else can you bask in the warm sun in such beautiful surroundings and still have SAND in the bottom of the pool.
