Hiya, Sallie!
I'm so glad you've found your way to planDisney –– thanks for dropping by with your question today. Can you believe that you'll be arriving at Walt Disney World Resort in just over two weeks? After all that planning (and dreaming), the wait is almost over!
As it just so happens, it looks like you'll be staying at
one of my favorite Disney Resorts Collection hotels during your visit ––
Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. For me, the Resort does an incredible job of blending elegance and sophistication with an environment that still manages to be family-friendly at the same time. Not only that, but with spectacular views of Cinderella Castle, the monorail only steps from your door, and some of the best dining options in all of Walt Disney World Resort, there's plenty of Disney magic around every corner. I can't wait for you to experience everything this spectacular Resort has to offer!
If you happen to arrive at Resort before your room is ready, don't worry –– you're welcome to leave your luggage with Bell Services and head out to one of the parks or take some time to explore everything the Resort has to offer. Then, once your room is ready, you can simply stop back by the bell services desk to collect your luggage yourself or place a call from your room to have it delivered. To make arrival as seamless as possible, I recommend using Walt Disney World's Online Check-In Service, available on the
My Disney Experience mobile app, before you arrive –– that way, you'll be able to skip the Front Desk once you arrive at the hotel and receive a text once your room is ready. From there, you can head straight to your room and unlock your door using the My Disney Experience or your
MagicBand. It makes for an easy and convenient start to your visit –– just the way a perfect vacation should be!
I hope this helped to answer your question and I really appreciate you dropping by planDisney, Sallie. I'm wishing you lots of pixie dust during your upcoming visit to Walt Disney World Resort!
See Ya Real Soon,
Amy
