I have a little different question... We're starting out our vacation at a Universal resort. Since the Universal parks close early for their Halloween Horror Nights on 9/30 we decided we would just take a cab over to attend
MNSSHP that night so we have more Disney time once we check into our Disney hotel on 10/1. I have our MNSSHP tickets and they are linked to our Magicbands.. BUT, am I incorrect in thinking that we won't be able to use the Magic bands because were not checked into our Disney hotel yet? Don't they activate them on check-in? I was planning on bringing our paper tickets anyway, so this is more of just my curiosity on the situation?
