We are staying at BLT and will be coming in on Sunday January 17th. Is it likely that we will be able to check in that morning or do most people have to wait until check in time?
I am going to have items that need to be refrigerated. I hope they will let me check in early.
If your room isn't ready, Bell Services can store your items that need refrigeration. Just tell them which bags need to go in the referigerator.I am going to have items that need to be refrigerated. I hope they will let me check in early.

I would use Online checkin and noted the time you think you be arriving.
I second this. It worked for us in March when we arrived at noon. We were happy to find that our room was ready. When you do online check in, there is a place to type in what time you expect to arrive at the resort.
I would say that it being a Sunday - the busiest check-in day for DVC resorts - over a holiday weekend, the chances of your room being ready before 4pm are low.

We checked into BLT at 10am on a Sunday in early December (a popular time for DVC members) and were told no rooms were ready. We got a text around noon saying our room was ready, but when we got there at 12:30, it was still being cleaned, and the front desk told us the text was sent in error.
We also found that using the online check-in service saved us no time. The Contemporary was making online check-in people stand in the regular check-in line, and the check-in process once we got to the desk was no shorter than usual. Just our experience, though...
