Hiya, Wendy! I'm so glad you found the second star to the right and followed it straight on to planDisney!
It sounds like you're headed to
The Most Magical Place on Earth in just a few months and I couldn't be more excited for you! You're coming at a wonderful time and have so much to look forward to.
The World's Most Magical Celebration will be in full swing and you won't want to miss checking out the
Beacons of Magic in each of the parks! There are also so many new attractions that you'll be able to experience, such as
Remy's Ratatouille Adventure and
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind in
EPCOT!
Wendy, you are more than welcome to check out a day earlier, but later in the day! Since your plans are to check out after the stated
check-out time of 11:00 AM, you will likely be charged for that additional day. However, having the flexibility of an extra day in the parks, an afternoon at
Disney Springs, catching up on a quick nap, or even enjoying the pool at your
Disney Resorts Collection hotel is truly invaluable! So much can be done in these extra hours that can make your last day on vacation practically perfect in every way. And Wendy, I'd recommend speaking with a Cast Member at the front desk about your plans to see if there are any additional options for you. You might also consider
calling a Cast Member prior to your arrival so they can make a note on your reservation, as well.
Be sure that you've also made your Theme Park Reservations with the
Disney Park Pass system! This is an important step to reserve the parks you wish to visit on each day of your trip. And take some time to download and explore everything that the
My Disney Experience app has to offer! You'll be able to check wait times for attractions, view park maps, and - my favorite - even
mobile order food. I love knowing that my meals and snacks will be ready for me before I ever feel a rumbly in my tumbly!
You're bound to have a truly special time on your upcoming trip, Wendy! If you have any other questions, please visit us again. After all - you've got a friend in me!
See ya real soon!
