Hello Michael,
Thanks for stopping by planDisney with your question.
Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa is a gorgeous hotel just steps away from
Magic Kingdom. Whether you are riding the monorail, enjoying the view of
Cinderella Castle, or strolling through the hotel's grand lobby, you'll be surrounded by Disney magic.
If you arrive early on check-in day and have to wait for your room to be ready, you won't have to wait to start having fun. You can certainly make use of the
hotel's amenities or even head off to the parks if you have tickets for the day. Simply leave your luggage with Bell Services. Once your room is available you can either pick them up or call from your room to have them delivered.
Lounging by the pool sounds like the perfect start to a vacation. There are showers located in the bathrooms near the pool area where you can change before or after your swim. Just make sure you grab whatever you think you may need before dropping your bags off at Bell Services.
Whether you
check-in to your hotel online or wait and do it when you arrive at 10:00 AM, you will be able to provide your phone number and be notified via text once your room becomes available.
Hope this helps. Have a magical vacation!
Diane
