Check in and DDP?

[Not so Dumbo]

I have one TS left to book and would like to use it for lunch at MK on our first day, but check in isn't until 3p. We are flying in the night before and staying offsite for the night. Any ideas on how would I be able to work this?

You can check-in anytime you want.Your room won't be ready, but they will get you tix activated with the dining plan on it.

I know you can check in before your room is ready to get your room keys. They'll give you a number to call later on to get your room number.

I believe that the earliest that you can do this is 7am.

We use to check in early all the time to start the DDP and get part tickets. Until this coming week, Plane doesn't get in to Sanford Airport till 9.55pm and till I get the rental and get to Disney it will be after 11. I hope they save our room.

Call (or have your travel agent call, if you used one) to confirm late arrival and provide your flight info. They'll hold the room for you.

I've checked in at 2 AM before without having to call anyone. I can't see them giving your room away because you don't arrive before 11. Of course you still get dining credits for that night.

When they give 3 PM as a check-in time, that means it is the time by which you can expect your room to be ready to occupy (and even then it's not always ready by then). You can actually check in at the front desk and receive your keys at any time.
