    What time is check out on our last day? And are we able to leave our bags at the hotel if the flight is later in the day?

    Hey there, Danyelle! It's wonderful to meet you and help you plan your check out day. 

    At Walt Disney World resorts, checkout time is 11:00am on your last day. Disney is pretty consistent with that across all resort categories. You don’t need to do anything special to check out either. It usually happens automatically, and you’ll see your final billing statement in the My Disney Experience app or get it emailed to you.

    If your flight is later in the day, you can absolutely leave your bags with Bell Services after checkout. My family does this often. We love to soak up as much Disney magic before our flight home. Just bring your luggage down to Bell Services, let them know when you plan to return, and they’ll store it securely for you. When you’re ready to head to the airport, you simply come back, grab your bags, and you’re on your way. Tipping the Cast Member who helps you is customary.

    This is a great way to squeeze in one last park visit, enjoy a meal, or even lounge by the pool without dragging suitcases around. I always tell people not to waste that final day if they don’t have to. Disney makes it very easy to enjoy every last bit of magic, right up until it’s time to head home.

    Have the best time ever, Danyelle! Come see us again if you have more questions.

    Toodles,
