Can I use tickets before I check in?

We are arriving a few days before checking in and staying off site. Can I use my water park and more option even if I haven't checked into my resort? We wanted to hit up Blizzard Beach.

Yes you can! We did almost the same thing on our last trip. You'll just need to go to a Guest Relations booth (make sure it's Guest Relations, not Guest Services) and they will activate your tickets for you. We were going to Typhoon Lagoon so we stopped at EPCOT first and used their Guest Relations booth. Here's a link where you can find Guest Relations locations - https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/guest-services/guest-relations/.

Call and ask. I've gotten different answers from different CMs. You used to be able to active your package tickets before your package started, but the newer policy says you can't.

If you stop by guest relations you can activate tickets to be used up to 10 days prior to check in. Water parks is the one place guest relations doens't exist but you can find one at springs or the entrance of any park without going into the park. springs is free parking and orange garage isn't far from it.
