Guests May Depend on Their Phones Even More For Their Next Disney Vacation
Recently, Disney has made a change that will have Guests on their phones even more. Find out what you need to know before your next Disney vacation.
Using Your Phone For Your Disney Vacation
Although many guests would rather not be on their phone while on vacation, it is almost impossible to do Disney World without using your phone. Disney has Guests using their phones for a variety of reasons throughout their stay.
Guests can use the My Disney Experience app to plan their day, make reservations, and order food. Guests also receive text messages letting them know if their room is ready or even when their table is ready at one of the many table service restaurants.
Recreational Activities
Each Disney Resort Hotel has lots of recreational activities for its Guests to enjoy. These activities include tie-dye, dance parties and pool games, and one of my (Heather's) favorite - Movies Under The Stars.
Recreational activities are a great way to spend your "rest day" at Disney World. Some of the activities are offered for free, while others have a fee. Be sure to ask if discounts can be applied (example - Annual Passholder or DVC discount can be applied to tie dying t-shirts!).
NEW Signage - QR code
Previously, the recreational activity schedule was posted on signage at the resort. Guests are now reporting that at some resorts the posted activity schedules have been replaced with QR codes for Guests to scan.
So far, Guests have reported the new recreational activity signage at Disney's Polynesian and Old Key West Resorts.
Guests have reported that new recreation activity signs have arrived with QR codes at Disney's Polynesian and Old Key West Resorts.
As much as Guest may not like to use their phones for one more thing, this does make seeing the recreational activity schedule very easy. You can even see what movies are playing each night! Guest may really enjoy this change, and not mind being on their phones just a little bit more.
What do you think of having to scan the QR code to see the recreational activity schedule? Have you seen this at other Disney Resort Hotels? Let us know in the comments below, and be sure to share this post with your friends!
This is aggravating, because while at the resort, I rarely carry my phone. Sometimes you just want to de able to disconnect, unplug and be able to relax. Guess we would just skip resort activities.
This is disappointing for those who want to leave their phones behind and have a nice resort day without their phones. Thanks for reading!
I hate having to constantly use my phone in DW! You need it for everything! I need to carry a charger to recharge my phone directional the usage. On vacation I want to take it easier, not always on my phone.
I very much dislike additional QR codes and anything you need to scan!
PS. Sorry, directional, should be:
Due to.
I do enjoying being able to unplug sometimes. Thanks for reading.
