Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Lori!
I like the way you plan! Starting your Walt Disney World Resort vacation with a finger-lickin’ feast at
Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue sounds terrific! Although your room may not be ready, you are welcome to check-in early on your arrival day.
Using
Online Check-In is a great way to begin the check-in process before you arrive and it allows you to notify your Disney Resort hotel that you plan to arrive early in the day. I like that I can select the option to receive text messages alerting me to when my resort room is ready. Keep in mind this does not guarantee your room will be ready when you arrive. If needed, you can leave your luggage with Bell Services, and they can store your items until you are ready to retrieve them.
To get to the dinner show from
Disney's Port Orleans Resort-Riverside, you will first need to take
Walt Disney World Bus Service to the Magic Kingdom. Then you must transfer to
Water Transportation to take you to
The Cabins at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort. It is a short walk from the boat dock to the venue where the Hoop-Dee-Doo dinner show is located.
I hope this helps, Lori! Please visit us again if we can be of further assistance.
Happy Planning!
Missy
