Check out time/ CL amenities

[lulu0506]

We will be checking out of the BC, but our flight out isn't until 7pm. We will be staying in a Club Level room. I realize we have to be out of our room in the morning but was wondering if we can still use the club room for the remainder of the day for snacks and drinks. We plan to use the pool and hang out at the hotel until it's time to leave. Anyone know what the policy is for this situation?
Any input would be appreciated! Thanks as always

All resort amentities, for all the resorts and all levels, last until midnight of your check-out day.

That includes charging, dining plan, park tickets, and any other items at the resort.

Thank you so much for responding!

As the PP said, you can use the CL lounge up until midnight of the day you check out. We had checked out at about 7 in the morning on our last trip (we checked out before our breakfast ADR at CP, pre-park opening). We got back to the resort at about the start of the mid-day tea time to wait for ME to come get us. About 5 minutes before we were going to head down to get ME I found out our flight was canceled due to the random snow and high winds on the East Coast this October. Even though I was already checked out, a CL CM, Marshall, helped find a room for us at our resort for a couple of nights (unfortunately, it wasn't CL) and helped track our bags down to be returned to us, which we got later that night, since we were going to be there for 3 extra nights. He also offered to make any ADRs we may have wanted, but we decided to make those as we went along. So even though we were already checked out of our room, we still got to use the lounge and services of the CL CMs.

3 extra unexpected nights! How great is that??!!
Thank you for your response! Now I just have to decide whether we do a park that morning or just hang at the pool and maybe do a few hours of a park in the afternoon. Nice to know we can take full advantage of the Club amenities!

Just remember that on your check-out day you need to be out of your room by 11:00 AM, unless you requested and got a late check-out which will give you until 1:00 PM to leave your room. However as you already know that won't effect you from going back to the lounge and etc, since your Key To The World cards won't be de-activated until 12:00 AM.

Yep, as PPs have said, you may have access to all the resort's amennities until midnight of your check out day, and that includes access to the lounge when staying club level.

Also at Y&BC, if you need somewhere to shower, change, freshen up, etc in the afternoon before heading to the airport, you can use the locker rooms at the health club.

Great tip Dannysmom.... I was wondering where we would go to freshen up before leaving. Figured we would just use the bathrooms at the pool I didn't think of using the healthclub.

CR Resort Fan 4 Life: Thank you! Maybe we can request and get a late check out! That would be nice

Does this also work in reverse in the morning before the room is ready?

We'll be staying at The Dolphin our 1st night, before transferring over to BC CL. I'd like to walk over there & check in early - before 9am. I know the room won't be ready yet, but will we be allowed to grab a snack in the CL lounge once we're checked in, before heading to the parks?

I don't see why not. Once you are checked in you are a Guest, whether your room is ready or not.
