Yo ho, yo ho, Danielle! A vacation-stay at
Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort sounds like a perfect Walt Disney World Resort getaway! That is such a fun resort! The theming has the true feel of a tropical vacation! The pool is incredibly awesome too!
When you download the
My Disney Experience app for your mobile device, you can do your online check-in well in advance of your arrival! In fact, just prior to answering your question, I completed my online check-in for my family's upcoming visit this summer! I can use that experience to better answer your question!
When you download the My Disney Experience app and then link your Walt Disney World Resort vacation to your account, you will see the option to "Start Online Check-In." Once you begin this process, you will see an option for "Room Requests." The app will prompt you to provide room preference information. For example, I will be staying at Disney's Riviera Resort, right next to Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort, one of the preferences listed for me to select was "Near Skyliner." I clicked this as a first preference! Other preferences listed were "Near Lobby" and "Near Elevator." When you complete online check-in for Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort you will receive options relevant to that specific resort. There was also an option that allowed me to prioritize having the room ready as early as possible over any other requests that I listed. That is a pretty cool option as we usually fly in as early in the day as possible. Having our resort room ready early is a huge convenience!
Danielle, come back to planDisney as you continue your vacation dreaming! We're always happy to help!
