Hi Sam! Disney’s Port Orleans Riverside Resort brings such happy memories for my family! We stayed at that resort hotel for something of a family reunion when my brother got married at the Walt Disney World Resort! You’ve made a great choice!
Check-in time for Disney Resort Hotels is 3:00 PM. However, that is the beginning time for check-in. Guests are certainly able to check-in to their resort hotel after 3:00 PM. Guests have two options for checking-in to their resort hotel. They may use traditional check-in at the resort hotel lobby or utilize
Direct-to-Room check-in using your My Disney Experience account. Using Direct-to-Room check-in allows Guests to skip the front desk and report directly to their resort hotel room! You can sign-up for this service using your My Disney Experience account! When you report to your room, you can use either your MagicBand or your
mobile device to unlock your resort room door!
Sam, here is PRO TIP for you! As a Guest of Disney’s Port Orleans Riverside Resort, you are allowed to participate in the
Early Theme Park Entry benefit! This perk allows Guests of Disney Resort Hotels to enter any theme park, 30 minutes prior to official park opening time, on any day! I strongly encourage you to take advantage of this great benefit of staying at the Walt Disney World Resort!
Happy Planning!
Jonathan
