Hi, Kelly! Thanks so much for stopping by
planDisney - we're here to help!
I see that your trip is coming up next month, how exciting! It's funny that you are asking a question that I was actually pondering myself recently. I'll be staying at the
Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel in March and was also curious about bell services and check-in options. I was able to reach out to the hotel directly and get some answers for us!
If you arrive before check-in and need to start your luggage, Bell Services has you covered, usually starting as early as 6 a.m., subject to availability. The location of the
Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel makes it a perfect spot to arrive early, store your luggage, and enjoy your day before check-in time! When we arrived early for my last stay there, we walked to
Disney's Hollywood Studios for lunch and some rides (there is also boat and bus transportation), then came back, checked in to our room, and walked over to
Disney's BoardWalk for a yummy dinner at
Trattoria al Forno.
The Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin are not technically
Disney Resort Collection hotels, so the process you may be used to for mobile check-in via the
My Disney Experience Mobile App doesn't apply here. Instead, you can download and use the Marriott Bonvoy app, or simply follow any updated procedures or instructions from the hotel Cast Members upon your arrival!
Have a magical trip!
