Arrival day transportation question

[Kari9696]

Hi! I will be going on my very first trip to WDW and we are driving there. We are staying at Pop Century and should be there by noon. Can we park at the resort and then take transportation downtown even though we won't be officially checked in yet?

You may start using the transportation right away. You may also use tickets earlier than check in time.

You might try going to check in and seeing if your room is ready early, that has happened for us a few times.

Great! That's good to know. Thank you!

You could check in at 7:30 in the morning if you so desire. Your room may not be ready, but you can certainly do all the paperwork, get your keys and tickets at that time. Once your room is ready they will tell you the room number that your key opens.

On your check in day, if your tickets are part of your resort package, then you must go to your resort to do preliminary check in in order to get the tickets.

(You don't have to go back to the check in desk when you return to your resort later when the room is finally ready. You can call the check in desk instead if you were not already given your room number.)

Thanks for all the tips. I can't wait to get there!

You'll also want to pre-register upon arrival to get your parking pass.
