Welcome to planDisney Karyn!
I love an early arrival to Walt Disney World. It is a whole extra day of magic added to your vacation!
While
check-in time is not until 3:00pm, you are certainly welcome to arrive early. Each resort has a convenient luggage room where you can drop off your belongings then head out to the fun! When your room is ready, you can stop by for your luggage and head to your beautiful resort room.
Before leaving home, complete your
Online Check-in. Include your arrival time. Sometimes a little pixie dust gets sprinkled, and your room is ready early! But if not, your luggage is safe and secure until you can enter your room. During your Online Check-in, you will enter your phone number so you can get a "room ready" text. If you do not get a text or email by around 3:00pm, stop by the front desk to check on the status.
Once you have your room assignment, you can go straight to your room with either the "Unlock Door" feature on the
My Disney Experience app or using a linked MagicBand. If you prefer, stop by the front desk for a traditional room keycard.
While at your wonderful Walt Disney Resort hotel, take advantage of the convenient
transportation options. With buses, monorails, boats, and the
Disney Skyliner, you will be zipping around property! If you have any questions about how to reach a specific destination, Cast Members are always happy to point you in the right direction.
Wishing you all the best for a magical vacation!
