    We plan to arrive at Disney a day before we start visiting the parks. I know check-in is at 3, so what other activities are available without going to the parks? Can we enjoy the pool before check-in? Or Disney Springs? Any suggestions would be helpful!

    Hiya Jessica!

    Thank you so much for stopping by!  Checking in before you begin your park adventures is a great way to get to know your resort and visit other activities that Walt Disney World Resort has to offer!

    You are welcome to check-in before 3 PM.  Your room many not be ready, but you can opt-in to receive a text message when your room is ready!  You can leave your bags with Bell Services (if you have any), and set off on your adventure!  I would definitely suggest that spend some time exploring your resort and the grounds.  You're welcome to enjoy the pool and other amenities at your resort as well!

    A visit to Disney Springs is always a good idea to me!  I can easily spend days there and not see everything!  It's a different adventure every day!  You can easily have lunch, do a little shopping, some sight-seeing--all while taking in the sights at Disney Springs!  Make sure you check out the Disney Springs website I've linked to, and write down your favorites!  

    Have a magical vacation!
