can I do this???

[mackay_j]

Can I book the hotel, and check in to get my passes then not stay there- seems a shame I know, but we have a nice villa already booked and only want to book one night either 23rd dec or 28th dec (and we really do not want to move out for 1 night (one kid has lots of meds for through night so it becomes a hassel) so we can get the express passes. Is there a problem with that- do we have to check out in person. If so how long on the boat from parks back to hotel to check out. Also if I book hotel can we park there instead of paying for parking at park.

Yes I think you can do it if it's cost effective for you - some may object but as long as you are paying for the room, it's not my business whether you actually climb into bed there.

I don't think you have to turn in your express pass key (i.e., stop at the front desk), which is dated to your stay, on checkout. As a registered guest you can park at your hotel, but it won't be free.

Alot of people do it.But remember only 5 allowed per room.So if you have more then 5 in your group you will need to book 2 rooms.

peeps do that all the time.
book the room for one night only and never stay in the room.


when you check in, let them know your plans.
they can work with you for your check out the next day.

you won't have to do it in person.

Also remember that it allows 2 adults and up to 3 people 17 and under per 2 queen room. If there is more adults (meaning more than 2 per room) there will be a charge of $25 per person more. They ask for the names of each person (first and last) plus the age of each person. They are all noted on the room keys which will also be your express pass.

As for parking they also charge $15.95 per night to park at the hotel, so yes that would be cheaper than 2 days of parking in the garage. Just use your hotel key to enter and exit the lot as many times as you want in those 2 days.

My nephew does this all the time. You can use your room during the day to rest and enjoy the pool, etc.
You don't say which hotel, but it's an easy walk from the Hard Rock and the Royal Pacific--we found walking faster than the boats.
You do not have to check out in person adn you don't turn in your keys since you can use them for express all day on the day you check out.

how many adults do they allow you to reserve for in a 2 queen room?
or a 1 bed king?

will they allow more names on the reservation, even if it looks like someone sleeps on the floor?

(also just looking for the express passes)

It's 2 adults 3 children any more than two adults results in a $25 per adult charge. Your hotel keys/fast pass will say child or adult on them also to let you know.

Remeber a King room is different than a 2 Queen room cause a King room only allows 2 adults and 1 child
