A new digital key feature is coming soon to the My Disney Experience app.
The first resort with this feature will be Disney’s Wilderness Lodge. Using the My Disney Experience app, guests will be able to unlock their hotel room door.
Guests will also be able to use the mobile app to unlock common areas around the hotels including pools, fitness centers, elevators and club level lounges.
And, guests who have checked in online can bypass checking in at the front desk and can use the app to unlock their room’s door.
Disney gave some details on how the new system works: “To use their digital key, guests can opt in and activate the feature on their check-in day through a brief set up process in the app. To enter their room, guests tap the “Unlock Door” button and then simply hold their phone against the door lock.”
Guests can also still use their MagicBands to unlock room doors.
