    Hi,i will be arriving at Disney at about 11.30am we will be travelling from South Africa for about 30 hours,will they allow an earlier check in than 4pm?Thank-you

    Hi there, Lara!

    What a tremendous journey you will be embarking on to arrive at the most magical destination, Walt Disney World!  

    To answer your question...You can absolutely check-in to your resort as soon as you arrive.  Although an early check-in can't be guaranteed, I would explain your situation and request to the Cast member who checks you in.  At the very least, you will be allowed to store your luggage with Bell Services until your room is ready.  You will also have full access to the resort at that time.  If your room is not ready immediately, you can choose to relax by the pool or grab a snack or drink in a restaurant.   I would suggest that you pack a day bag with any essentials you might need until your room is available.

    I wish you a truly magical vacation!
