    We’re staying at Saratoga Springs from Oct 22-26 and will be attending Micky’s Halloween party on Oct 22. We would love to unpack prior to heading to the park. What are the chances our room will be ready before we plan to take the bus to MK at 3PM?

    Hi Franco! You are going to have a wickedly wonderful time at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at Magic Kingdom! 

    Guests with tickets for the Halloween party can enter Magic Kingdom as early as 4:00 PM, even though the frightful festivities don’t officially kick off until 7:00 PM.

    I enjoy arriving at the resort hotel early to unpack and get settled in before heading out to the park. While on the majority of visits my resort hotel room was ready well before the 3:00 check-in time, there have been a few times when it was not ready until closer to 3:00. 

    On the few occasions that my room wasn’t ready, I left my bags with Bell Services and either headed to the theme park or went to the pool to relax until receiving notification that my room was ready! 

    Franco, if you are using the online check-in feature in your My Disney Experience app, you can provide an estimated arrival time on the app. Your Disney Resort hotel will use that information to have your room ready at a time that is convenient, but can’t guarantee early check-in. Also, under the room request section in online check-in using the My Disney Experience app, you can select prioritizing your room being ready over specific room locations at the hotel. 

    Dreams do come true!
