    Hello-we have reservations at the All star resort and will be arriving on July 8. What is the earliest time we would be able to arrive at the resort? I am aware checkin is at 3pm, however our flight will arrive in the morning. Just trying to plan ahead

    Welcome to planDisney, Lauren!

    Oh boy, your vacation to The Most Magical Place on Earth is just around the corner. I bet you can’t wait to partake in the EARidescent fun and festivities of the 50th Anniversary Celebration. Are you counting down the hours yet? I know I would be!

    Lauren, you can arrive at your Disney Resorts Collection hotel as soon as your heart desires on your arrival date. While your room may not be ready until the official check-in time, you are more than welcome to check in at the Front Desk when you arrive, then head off to explore the grounds, facilities, and dining options on property while you wait. You can even drop your bags off at Bell Services and head to the theme parks. They will hold your bags for you until you return from your day of fun and head off to your room.

    Did you know you can even check in for your Resort reservation ahead of time using the Online Check-In service in your My Disney Experience mobile app? It’s essentially the same as checking in at the Front Desk of your Resort in person, but you can do it from home before you even set off on your travels. If you utilize the Online Check-In service, make sure you’ve enabled notifications for the mobile app on your device to receive real-time status updates on your room. You will receive a notification with your room number and will be able to go directly to it once it’s ready.

    Lauren, I hope this information helps you breathe a great, big, beautiful sigh of relief! If you think of other questions, be sure to stop by planDisney again and let us know.

    See ya real soon,

    Alyssa
