What Time Can You Check In? I'll Be At The Airport At 11am

You can check in at any time, but your room is not guarantee to be ready until 3 p.m.

Ditto that!

We have always arrived around 9:30am and only once out of about 6 times at the WL, had to wait for our room!! I have the best luck there. Hopefully you'll have it too!!

If we arrive @MCO at 6:30pm
Hope to be @WL at around 8pm, does this sound right with ME?

What kind of check in lines are we looking at?

We'll be at the Poly the night before, and then checking into the WL. I've heard early check in is better, but how early?

We checked in early and they held our luggage for us until our room was ready. We just checked in and headed for the boat to the monorail.

I always thought the room was guaranteed to be ready by 3 PM too, but I was told differently when we checked in on June 18. We arrived from CBR around 11AM and checked in. They said the room wasn't ready and we needed to call and check periodically. My son wasn't feeling well, so we just hung around the hotel waiting......and waiting.......and waiting. Finally it was 3PM and I thought surely this call would be fruitful. I was told that 3PM is just an estimate and occasionally they run behind. However, mousekeeping is off duty at 4:30 PM, so it should be ready by then. I was so frustrated. Not to mention that my luggage had still not arrived from CBR. It was supposed to be there around 1:30. Oh well, I won't tell my whole story here, just thought I would say that the 3PM is actually not a guarantee.
Good Luck, You will love the Lodge.

We checked in around 10am and our room was ready, and there were no lines, but I don't know if the lines will be longer due to using ME.

If they are, the lobby is grand and beautiful with lots of things to explore while one member stands in line.
