    Arrving @ POFQ 7/24 @ 8am (driving to FL). Can we check in to our hotel that early knowing our room won't be ready so we can head to MK or HS? What is the earliest we can check in on that day?

    Hi, Amy!  Even though the official check in time is not until later in the afternoon, your arrival at eight in the morning will not be a problem.  Your room may not be ready (although you could get lucky and find that it is!), but you can still check in at the front desk, if you have purchased park passes, you can get those, you can use the swimming pool, head to the theme parks, or whatever you'd like to do! 

    You will be given a card that you can use to call later in the day to check on the location of your room.  You won't have to stop back at the front desk, as they will give you room keys, but not room number when you check in upon arrival.  You can also give them your cell phone number and they will text you with your room number when it is ready. 

    We have checked in as early as seven in the morning, although the earliest we have ever checked in and found our room ready was around 10 in the morning.  The resort will hold your luggage for you while you enjoy the first hours of your vacation!

    Have a great trip!
