Hello there, Nancy!
Welcome to planDisney and thank you for coming to us with a fantastic
Walt Disney World Resort vacation planning question.
Oh boy! Very soon, it sounds like you'll be checking in to one of the magnificent
Disney Resort hotels at The Most Magical Place on Earth. I'm here to help you prepare for your wondrous "Welcome Home!"
Nancy, whether you'll be diving into comfort at
Disney's Beach Club Resort, relaxing in opulence at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort, or becoming part of the production at Disney's All-Star Movies Resort, you're in for an unforgettable stay! It sounds like you'll be enjoying an early arrival at your Disney Resort hotel. (This is always my preference as well, as I like to maximize the magic on my arrival and departure days!) I'm happy to share that you'll be welcome to check your luggage in with
Bell Services once you arrive. Once your room is ready, you can either request Bell Services deliver your belongings directly to your room, or you may return to the bell desk to personally collect your bags! Just hang onto the claim ticket the Cast Members provide you when you check your bags in, as you'll want to provide that ticket to reclaim your baggage.
If you don't have exciting plans for your arrival day, perhaps you could begin enjoying all that your Disney Resort hotel has to offer, Nancy! When my family opts not to head straight into the theme parks on arrival, we love lounging poolside at our resort, enjoying small bites and frosty beverages at the pool bar, and exploring the grounds. Also, I recommend taking a peek at the Recreation Activities calendar when you arrive - it's usually located near the lobby or pool area. This guide will provide details on all of the recreational offerings and special events taking place at your Disney Resort hotel during the week!
Nancy, I hope you've found these details helpful and I wish you a magical and memorable stay at the Walt Disney World Resort. If you have any additional questions throughout your visit, you're always welcome to return to
planDisney! We're here to help you make the most of your time at The Most Magical Place on Earth.
Warm wishes,
Lauren
