    We have Disney hotel reservations. Can we park at the hotel early and use park transportation? Check in is at 3pm but we would like to park at the hotel early and hit the theme park all day. Thank you, Danielle

    Hello there, Danielle!

    Welcome to planDisney and thank you for dropping by with a delightful Walt Disney World Resort vacation planning question. So soon, you'll be checking in at one of the fabulous Disney Resort hotels - how exciting! As your enchanting escape draws nearer by the second, let's chat about how you can access the magic on your arrival day. Off to Never Land!

    Danielle, staying at a Disney Resort hotel means you'll be immersed in the wonder of Disney even after you leave the theme parks at the end of the day. I'm happy to inform you that, no matter what time you arrive on your check-in date, you should be permitted to park (pending availability) at your Resort hotel and leave your luggage with Bell Services. Then, you'll be able to utilize complimentary transportation to quickly soar over to the theme parks to start your magical day! If you've enabled notifications from the My Disney Experience mobile app, you'll likely receive a notification once your room is ready.

    Once your room has been prepared for your arrival, you can return to your Disney Resort hotel to pick up your belongings from Bell Services anytime. Alternatively, you may request that your luggage be delivered straight to your room if you prefer! If you've enabled text message notifications in the My Disney Experience mobile app, you may receive a message containing helpful details regarding your room location, including a map of your Resort hotel. This is always useful, especially when we're staying at a very large resort or one that's "new-to-us!"

    Danielle, I hope you've found these details helpful and I wish you a cozy Christmastime stay this week! If you have any additional questions before or during your visit, you may always stop back by planDisney anytime. We're here to help you make the most of your time at The Most Magical Place on Earth!

    Warm wishes,

    Lauren
