    Hi and Thank-you in advance. Planning our first trip to Disney, single mom 3 kids !!!My first ? is... I'd like to hit one of the "other" parks on the day we arrive in Orlando very early, when should/could we check in to the resort?

    Hello there Doreen! You can actually register at your Disney resort hotel at any time. While the official check-in time is not until 3pm, and your room may not be ready until that time, often the room is ready and you are able to head right over. Even if your room is not ready, you are still given your welcome packet and all of the information regarding your stay, including your Key to the World cards. You can store your luggage with Bell Services at the resort and then either enjoy the pool or other resort amenities or head to a park. Also, if you have a cell phone, you can be texted or called when your room is ready. It's actually really cool to just get a text with your room number on it! Then you can just by-pass the check-in area and head straight to your room with your key cards.

    Have a wonderful first trip - I'm sure you'll be making some amazing memories!
