Hi there Angel, wishing you a very warm Canadian welcome to planDisney!
I love coming at the end of August as many kids down in Florida have started the school year and you might be fortunate enough to experience some comfortable crowd levels as you enjoy Walt Disney World Resort; a lot of folks take advantage of this time of year and fly in from all over the world for their stays, especially with the
current discounts for select rooms at the end of the summer!
I just had dinner at one of the
Walt Disney World Resort Hotels (you simply have to try
Topolino's Terrace if you get a chance) and checked with them directly regarding your question, as I have personally never been able to get a reduced rate for arriving late for my room reservation and thought it was definitely worth asking! Unfortunately the Front Desk Cast Members let me know that at this time there are no discounts offered for guests arriving late; they do always encourage guests to let them know any time that they can expect a later arrival and to take advantage of
Direct-To-Room Service so that you can head directly to your room and unlock your door using your
My Disney Experience Mobile App.
Sometimes when if you know that you'll be arriving too late to enjoy all of the amenities offered at a Disney Resort Hotel, there are also
neighbouring options that may be of a better value if you're just spending the night after all - but still within close enough proximity for you to start off your trip. There are definitely
a lot of new things coming from this summer onwards, and you're coming right around the start of
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party if you fancy a bit of spooky fun before the end of summer! I hope that this helps Angel, be sure to
come back to planDisney again for anything else you'd like to ask us ahead of your next adventure!
All the best on your late-night quest!
Prince
