Hello Staci Lyn! While discussing “check out” is less fun than discussing “check in” it is important to know what’s expected as you wrap up your vacation at the Walt Disney World Resort. Of course, the day you check out, you’re that much closer to beginning your next Walt Disney World Resort vacation!
Checkout time is the same at all Walt Disney World Resort hotels. That time is 11:00 AM.
There are two convenient ways to check out of your hotel. The first (and most convenient) way is to checkout using the
My Disney Experience app. And, if you happen to forget to check out, as Timon and Pumba would say, “Hakuna Matata!” You will automatically be checked out of your resort hotel room at 11:00 AM. You will receive an email with your itemized purchases after check out. In fact, you can continue charging to your room even after check out on that same day. All itemized charges will appear in your My Disney Experience account!
We don’t ever want the magic to end, so Guests of Walt Disney World Resort hotels are welcome to enjoy the resort after check out time! My family has done this on many occasions. We store our luggage with
Bell Services and then enjoy the resort pool or resort dining and shopping until it is time to catch our ride back to the airport.
Here is a PRO TIP for you...Guests can always request late check out. Call or stop by the front desk of your Walt Disney World Resort hotel. Let them know that you are interested in a late check out. While not guaranteed, they will try to honor your request. I've typically been granted an extra hour or two without being charged for late check out.
Come on back to planDisney, Staci Lyn! We’re happy to answer all your questions!
Happy Planning!
