Hello there, David! I see that your trip to the
Most Magical Place on Earth is in just a few short weeks. I bet you are getting so excited!
David,
Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort is one of my favorite places to stay. I love the laid-back atmosphere of the resort with the white sandy beaches, hammocks to relax in and calypso music playing around every turn. I think you are also really going to enjoy it.
If you check-in using the
online check-in service, you'll actually receive a text and/or a push notification straight to your phone when your room is ready with the room number and a detailed map on how to find it. To use this service, be sure your reservation is linked to your
MyDisneyExperience account. Then, to start the check-in process head to the "My Plans" section on your MyDisneyExperience account. Under your resort reservation, you should see the option to "Start Check-In" and you'll want to select that. This will walk you through a process of checking in where you'll choose your estimated arrival time and preferences on how you'd like to be notified when your room is ready.
One of my favorite amenities to use on check-in and check-out day is the luggage storage with
Bell Services. I'm glad that know that you plan on using this service as well to get a full first day in during your vacation. Bell Services cannot deliver luggage to an empty room, David. When you arrive back at the resort, you can swing by the Bell Services counter and grab your stuff if you'd like quick access to it. If you don't mind waiting a few minutes for your things, then you can head straight to your room. Once there, you can use the in-room phone to call down and request your items be brought to your room. This is a complimentary service to use although I do like to tip the Cast Member helping me a few dollars. They work really hard and it is always appreciated.
I hope this helps, David! If you have any other questions before your trip, please feel free to stop back by and
ask me. I'm here to help. I hope you have so much fun on your upcoming Walt Disney World vacation!
