    I will be transferring from the Caribbean Beach to the All stars movies. Since it’s between Disney hotels, I was wondering if I will be allowed early check in or if there will be an extra charge for it.

    Hi Marta. Welcome to planDisney. 

    Marta, I LOVE hearing that you are planning a "split stay" at two Disney Resort hotels! Hopping from Resort hotel to Resort hotel is one of my favorite pastimes! Each hotel offers its own themes, decor, dining options, and truly unique personalities. I seriously love each and every one, so I often find myself choosing two or three Resort hotels to enjoy during a single vacation! It's so much fun. 

    So, I have great news for you! After you check out of the Caribbean Beach Resort, you can drop off your luggage with Bell Services, and they will be happy to send your bags to All-Star Movies for you. One thing to keep in mind is that your luggage will likely arrive later in the afternoon, so be sure to pack your necessities to travel with you. You are then welcome to head over to your second hotel at your leisure. Once you arrive at All-Star Movies, stop by the front desk to let them know you've arrived early. You'll be happy to know there is no added expense for arriving before your official check-in time. In my experience, Cast Members will do their best to accommodate you and check if an available room is ready. 

    However, if a room isn't available right away, don't worry—the magic begins the moment you arrive. While you wait for your room, feel free to enjoy lunch at the World Premiere Food Court, have some fun at the Reel Fun Arcade, or head on over to Fantasia Pool and enjoy some fun in the sun until your room is ready. You do not need to wait until your check-in time to start enjoying the amenities at your hotel. 

    Marta, I hope this information helps you plan your day. I'm also excited to let you know that you'll be arriving just in time for all the fa la la la fun of Christmastime at Walt Disney World, and oh my goodness, you are in for a treat! From the parks to the Resort hotels and Disney Springs, there will be plenty of holiday magic waiting for you. I especially hope you'll be able to visit the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays! The Holiday Cookie Stroll is one of my family's favorite holiday traditions! 

    Thanks again for stopping by with your question, and please let us know if we can help again. And follow us on Instagram for even more helpful tips. Have SO MUCH FUN, Marta! 

    Wishing you magical moments, 
    Shonette
