    We are planning on MK for 1 day before cruise. To do this we are arriving early AM on TH day prior to our MK day on FRI. Will we be able to store luggage and use pool at the Polynesian prior to our room being ready on TH? How early can we arrive?

    Aloha Kim, 

    Welcome to planDisney! Thanks for stopping by with a question about your upcoming trip to Walt Disney World Resort and cruise - it sounds like you're going to have a wonderful time. I'm so glad you've asked about how to make the most of your day at Magic Kingdom by ironing out your Disney's Polynesian Village Resort details; let's take a look. 

    As a Guest of a Disney Resort hotel, you’ll have access to resort amenities and recreation starting on check-in day - even before your room is ready. For example, you could arrive around 10:00 AM, drop off your luggage with Bell Services, and head straight to the Lava Pool. You’ll be sliding down the 142-foot waterslide, splashing by the waterfall, and soaking up the tropical vibes in no time. Convenient change rooms with showers are located nearby, making it easy to get ready for the rest of your day. And if you find yourself craving something cool and refreshing, Pineapple Lanai is just steps away with DOLE Whip® Soft-serve and Pineapple Floats.

    Bell Services is happy to hold your bags until your room is ready, and you can either pick them up yourself or have them delivered once you’ve settled in. If you have any items that you'll need during the day such as sunscreen, water bottles or medication, I recommend keeping a small bag with you for easy access. 

    You're staying at a beautiful resort that's in the perfect spot for heading over to Magic Kingdom first thing on Friday. You can hop on the Monorail (2nd floor in the Great Ceremonial House) and you'll find yourself on Main Street, U.S.A. in no time! 

    I hope you have a wonderful stay before setting sail on your cruise, Kim. If you have any other questions as you plan, please don’t hesitate to stop by planDisney - we’re always happy to help!
