    I plan to arrive at Disney World on a Tuesday morning and spend the day in the parks. Then I plan to spend that night (Tuesday night) at a Disney resort. Am I considered a resort guest for my park day on Tuesday?

    Hi, Janine!

    Kicking off your vacation right away with visiting a theme park sounds fabulous! Get that magical party started!

    Even if your room is not available upon arrival, you are considered a guest of your Disney Resort Hotel. Feel free to leave your luggage at Bell Services then head out for your pixie dusted day! If you have completed online check-in, you will be notified via text or email when your room is ready. When you get back to your resort, you may unlock your hotel room door with the My Disney Experience Mobile App, your MagicBand+, or stop by the front desk to get a physical key. 

    So, what to do the first day! Well, that is up to you! Disney Transportation will quickly zoom you to any of the Theme Parks. I enjoy early mornings when the temperatures are cool and the crowds are very manageable. Use this time to hop on your favorite attractions!

    To make your morning run smoothly, have your Theme Park Tickets purchased and ready to go. Tickets may be purchased prior to your arrival via the My Disney Experience Mobile App or at Disneyworld.com. 

    I hope your arrival day is full of sunshine, pixie dust, and magical surprises! Enjoy!

Hi, I'm Cathy from Cleveland. I love to travel, especially in the winter to escape the cold of Ohio! My husband and 2 kids share my enthusiasm for travel, so we enjoy our adventures together whether it is sailing with Disney Cruise Line, running (or cheering!) at runDisney events, taking hula lessons at Aulani, or vacationing at the Walt Disney World which is our home away from home.
