Can we use pools on the arrival date, even if our rooms are not yet ready? If it matters, our hotel is Coronado springs.

Thanks!
 

All day of check-in through all day of check-out...... depending when you're going, you could also take advantage of a free water park day on your check-in day.....
I do know about the water park opportunity! Just trying to lay out all the options! Ie. Sometimes the waterparks reach capacity. Or…we are traveling with 3 kids, ages 2,4, and 6, and we are doing MNSSHP the night of our arrival, so also considering more relaxing options, so we can fully enjoy the Halloween party!

We will lay out all the options for our daughter/husband, and ultimately, they will have a lot of input on this.

Thanks for your help!

The pool at Coronado is a lot of fun for the kids, too!! That's where we'd be instead of a water park that day!

Given your MNSSHP and young kids, I would totally just hang out at the hotel and swim, use the arcade, have a snack, etc. Most, if not all, pool areas and some bathrooms, showers and changing areas. You are completely allowed to use all hotel amenities on your arrival day, as well as until the very end of your checkout day (even once you officially checkout of your room). Enjoy!
 
Stay at the resort up until you get your room then do your best to get a nap in. you are going to be tight time wise as the part will let you in around 4-6 and you want to hit that pre window if for any other reason not wasting party time in line trying to get in.

On almost all of our trips our room wasn't ready until just before 4 o'clock, I think the earliest I have gotten was 2pm so not a lot of time to transition. is day 1 your only party option because of the length of stay? My wife and I did party on our first day a couple years ago and it was almost to much day 1 and we're adults. If it is your only option I would make something like Epcot or a later breakfast your plan for day 2 to give yourselves a chance to rest and enjoy your time.

Yes, Day 1 is the only opportunity for the party. As far as Disney world days 2&3, my daughter/son-in law need to figure what they want to do/accomplish.

Now, don’t go feeling sorry for us, we fly in (arriving about 7:30 pm the day before and we are staying at the airport Hyatt. And, Day 4 (Monday) we are heading to Port Canaveral for a cruise. The Disney World piece was definitely an add-on months after the cruise was booked.
