    We’re arriving well before check in time for the hotels. Can we check our bags and leave our car at the Disney hotel while we use the Disney transportation system for the day so we can enjoy the park? Or should we park in the main lots?

    Hi RB!

    Arriving early for your Walt Disney World vacation is a great way to use every magical minute as you hit the ground walking, for safety, as soon as you arrive.

    You are more than welcome to leave your bags with Bell Services, park your car in the Resort hotel parking lot and head to a park.  I'm local, so we always have a car, but we choose to use Disney transportation to get around while we are there.  You can drive yourselves to the parks as you receive complimentary theme park parking as a perk to staying at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel.

    If you plan on completing online check-in for your upcoming stay, choose the the approximate time you'll be arriving.  You can choose room requests as well, but if they aren't all that important to you, you can click the box that says having your room ready is more of a priority than the room requests you have chosen.  You'll receive a text and email when your room is ready so there is no need to head back to your Resort hotel before you get the notification.

    Please stop back by if you have any additional questions.

    Have a magical day!
