New ‘Digital Key’ Service Coming Soon To Disneyland App

Disneyland announced today that a new digital key service will soon be available for the Disneyland app for guests to use.

Here’s how it works:

• Link your hotel reservation to your Disney account in the Disneyland app or online.
• Complete online check-in up to five days prior to arrival, or check-in at the Front Desk upon arrival to complete the traditional process.
• Upon arrival, once your room is assigned and ready, you can access your room and locate your hotel room number within the digital key feature by tapping the “Unlock Door” button after signing in to your Disney account on the Disneyland app. If you completed online check-in, you can use your digital key to bypass the Front Desk and go straight to your room!
• Tap the “Unlock Door” button and then hold your mobile device against the door lock. A Bluetooth®-enabled device with the latest version of the Disneyland app is required.

The digital key also allows you to charge select dining and shopping to your hotel room from the Disneyland app. You can also access designated hotel areas requiring a key, such as the pools and fitness centers. You must be signed in to your Disney account on the Disneyland app to access the digital key feature. The Disney account holder who is the primary guest on the reservation is the only guest who can activate the digital key.

The digital key option will soon be available at the Disneyland Hotel and Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa. It will be coming to Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel at a later date.

Guests will still be able to request traditional hotel keys from the Front Desk.
