    We are landing at 7 in the morning. We know we can't check in right away we plan on going to a park first. Should we go to our resort first to try and check in or just go to the theme park first and come back after 3pm We are using Disney trans

    Hey, Aaron!

    Let me just tell you what I think is the single greatest thing to come to Walt Disney World in forever (okay, that may be going a bit far, but I LOVE this). It's Online Check-in. 

    If you go to your My Disney Experience account, you'll see a tab for reservations. You can do online check-in. Set everything up, so that when you arrive at Walt Disney World, you are already checked in, and can head right to the theme park if you want.

    The big thing about this that I love is that while you enjoy the theme parks or go and enjoy one of the incredible Disney dining experiences, as long as you've given your mobile number, they will text you when your room is ready. They'll give you the room number and everything, so you never have to swing by the front desk at all. your vacation literally starts the minute you arrive.

    Don't forget to customize your MagicBands. This way, they can be sent to you ahead of time, which really eliminates a need to hit the front desk before starting your vacation fun.

    Enjoy your trip, Aaron!
