Hi, there!
Welcome to planDisney, Helen. I'm so happy you stopped by and even happier to see you'll be arriving at the Walt Disney World Resort tomorrow! You must be counting down the minutes with excitement. I know I would be!
You're going to love
Disney's Wilderness Lodge. With stunning architecture, lush pine forests, and the soothing sounds of a burbling creek, you'll be transported to the great pacific northwest! I'm glad to hear you'll be able to arrive early and enjoy the amenities of this Disney Resort hotel before check-in. I'm pleased to tell you that there are changing facilities near the pool. You can expect to find complimentary towels there too! That's one less thing you need to pack today!
When you arrive at Disney's Wilderness Lodge, stop by
Bell Services. They'll be happy to hold your luggage for you until you're ready to head to your room. You can either pick your luggage up from Bell Services to take to your room, or you can call them from your in-room phone to have your luggage delivered directly to you! I always take advantage of the delivery option, so I like to have some small bills on hand to tip the Cast Member delivering our bags.
Checkout time is 11:00 AM. If you'd like to request an extended checkout time, simply call or visit the Front Desk, and they'll do their best to accommodate you. It's important to note, though, that not all requests for a late checkout can be honored. If you find that you need to checkout at 11:00 AM and you're not ready to leave Disney's Wilderness Lodge quite that early, you can leave your luggage at Bell Services and they'll take good care of it until you're ready to head home.
I hope this was helpful, Helen. I'm wishing you a magical stay at the Walt Disney World Resort this week!
Ashley
