Hey Howdy Hey Grant and welcome to planDisney!
How exciting it is knowing that your vacation to the Most Magical Place on Earth is less than 100 days away! There is so much to look forward to for your upcoming trip, but first, let's talk about your resort check-in process.
You made a great choice selecting Hilton Orlando Lake Buena Vista for your upcoming vacation.
These Good Neighbor Hotels have a great balance between proximity to the parks and cost as well as great amenities and even some special access to the parks. Considering that these locations are owned and operated by companies other than Disney, I would reach out to your hotel specifically for questions on the check-in process. Every hotel is different, but I would imagine that most will have the ability to do so online. I would reach out directly to Hilton to check on the process as your date nears.
Grant, as I mentioned, the Hilton you will be staying at will have special access that other hotels may not. One of the big ones that you will be able to enjoy is
Early Theme Park Entry. Currently, your Hilton hotel is one of the few outside Disney hotels that is on the list to enjoy getting into the parks 30 minutes before the general public. With the lower crowd levels, you can experience several attractions that may be tough to experience with long lines during normal operating hours. It may be nice to get to the parks a little early to take advantage of this benefit on your upcoming trip!
I am sorry I could not give you a definitive answer on the check-in process for your hotel. I hope you will be able to look into the process and get your answer quickly. If you have any further questions, just know that you have a friend in us here at planDisney to help you out!
To Infinity and Beyond,
Nick
