Question

Do I have to stay at the resort to attend the wedding?

Answer

Not at all! You’re welcome to stay off-site if you prefer, but all wedding guests must purchase a package in order to attend any of the events, whether you're staying on or off the resort. After you RSVP, don’t forget to visit the Travel tab to book your stay or purchase your guest access pass. Just a tip: If you’re planning to stay at least one night, it’s often more cost-effective to book directly with the resort, since the package includes your access and accommodations in one.
