Welcome to planDisney, Jac! Your magical vacation is just two sleeps away, and I hope you're having the most magical dreams about all of the fun that you're going to have at the Walt Disney World Resort!
Jac, an early morning arrival means you can get to the magic faster! While there is no way to guarantee an early check-in, you can
call a Cast Member at the Hotel Reservations phone number and ask them to make a note about our early arrival time on your reservation. If you've completed the
Online Check-In, you can also add your anticipated arrival time, and then check with a Cast Member once you've arrived to see if a room might be ready early for you.
If not, hakuna matata (it means no worries!)
Bell Services at your Disney Resort hotel will be happy to store all of your family's luggage so you can head straight to the theme parks, water parks, Disney Springs, or whatever destination you're dreaming of! Once you've received a notification in the
My Disney Experience mobile app that your resort room is ready, you can hop back on board the
complimentary resort transportation, collect your bags, and settle into your room before deciding what you'll do next! You can also request Bell Services to deliver your bags directly to your resort room if you prefer (note that there is sometimes a wait for bags if you do this, and someone must be present in the room to receive the bags). If you're having too much fun, you can stay as late as you'd like and collect your bags whenever you're ready (Bell Services is available for luggage assistance 24 hours a day!)
Jac, Bell Services is also available to hold your luggage on your check-out day if you have a later flight and want to enjoy some last-minute magic before heading home. I usually call down in the morning to request a bag pickup from our room before heading out for a last dining reservation or visit to Disney Springs before heading home later in the day.
I hope this helps, Jac! With the start of
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party this weekend, beware of hitchhiking ghosts while you're out and about, and have so much fun on your visit! If you have any other questions, come see us again at
planDisney!
See you real soon,
Alison
