    Hello, I know that you can leave your luggage with bell services before your actual check in time. However, if you do this then go and enjoy the parks, do you then have to come all the way back to your resort at your check in time of say 3 pm?

    Hi, Pattie!  You can "check in" at whatever time you arrive at your resort, however, your room may not be available until after three in the afternoon.  You will not need to go back to check in if you arrive early.  When you get to your resort, go right to the desk to check in, and they will take your cell phone number to text you with your room number when the room becomes available.  Everything else is yours!  They will even give you your room keys at that time, as well as theme park information.  If you've purchased a package with dining plan or theme park tickets, they will be loaded onto your Key to the World Card (your room key), and you're really good to go.

    When you arrive back at your resort, you can call down to bell services to have your luggage delivered to your room.  If you choose to, you can retrieve them yourself at the same bell stand where you left them.

    I hope that helps!  You can hit the ground running and don't look back!
