Hi there Amanda, welcome back to planDisney! Thanks for stopping by with your question, I'm thrilled to help! It sounds like you're planning a trip to
Walt Disney World Resort. You're sure to make some excellent memories at the Most Magical Place on Earth!
You will receive the room number for your resort hotel on the first day of your trip after check-in. There is no set time, but once your room is ready, you will receive a notification sharing the room number with you. On my last visit, my family and I took advantage of the
Direct-to-Room Service. Our room was ready early so we received our room number while we were in the airport! With Direct-to-Room Service, you use Online Check-In service and the
My Disney Experience app to bypass the Front Desk and go directly to your room at Disney Resort hotels. With service, you will receive real-time room-ready updates, including your room number and arrival instructions.
My family and I have had other instances where we arrive prior to our room being ready. If you arrive before your room is ready, you may check your bags with
Bell Services so you can begin your vacation right away. Your bags can be delivered to your room for your convenience later in the day. Did you know, prior to checking into your room, you can also gain access to certain areas of your Disney Resort hotel, such as the pool with the
Unlock Door feature in the My Disney Experience app or an active DisneyBand? If our room is not ready, we will drop our bags with bell services then head to pool!
Amanda, I hope you find this information helpful. Thank you again for visiting planDisney. Have a magical day!
