Disney Makes Permanent Change at Family-Favorite Walt Disney World Hotels

Walt Disney World Resort hotels are installing permanent signs with QR codes for recreation schedules. The new signs have been spotted at several resorts along the Disney Skyliner route. It’s the next step in a change Disney made just a few weeks ago. What Changed in September In September, Disney resort hotels started replacing printed recreation schedules with scannable QR codes at various resorts. Why it matters: Resorts can update activities without printing new signs Guests always see the latest schedule Changes due to weather or events are easier to share At first, the QR codes were displayed on temporary displays such as sandwich boards and movable frames.

Why Families Will Like This at Disney World Pop Century and Art of Animation are especially popular with families and young kids. For parents, the new signs mean: Quick access to activities for the kids No hunting for printed flyers Easy planning for downtime between park days Fewer trips to the front desk with questions How to Use the QR Codes Find a sign. Look near the lobby or in planters and flower beds. Scan the code. Use your phone’s camera. View the schedule. See what’s happening at your resort. Check back. Schedules can change during your stay. Tip: Bookmark the schedule page so you can find it again quickly. What This Means Going Forward at Disney World Disney appears to be committing to QR codes for resort recreation information. Permanent frames suggest this isn’t a test but a long-term change. As the rollout continues, guests at other Walt Disney World resorts will likely see similar signs.
