Checking in at 1:00 AM ????

This may be a stupid question but when we check in on September 9 (10) it will be around 1 AM.

Will we get the worst room because of checking in late? I am trying to talk the family in to staying outside of the park on that first night (big savings in my opinion) but they want to go straight to AKL.

We checked in at around 1 AM in October and I was afraid of the same thing. To our surprise we were given a great corner room at CSR overlooking the Dig Site. I did have it noted on our reservation though that we would be arriving after midnight...not sure if that helped.

Thanks! When reservations come back up today I will call them to let them know that. This is the first time that I ever was asked if there was a way to get a guaranteed non-smoking room because I was concerned about this coming in late. I did not ask for it to be noted on the reservations. They asked if I had a medical reason for wanting a non-smoking room. I told them I get migraines from smoke smell and they gave me a guaranteed non-smoking room.

We checked into the YC at 1am on our 2002 trip. Our plane had been delayed by 1.2 hours. We didnt get a bad room. We were on the concierge level and pretty close to the lounge, which we liked.
This trip we wont get in til 10:45 pm and still have to make a grocery stop. We are only staying at PC one night though before we move to BWV so it doesnt really matter where our room is.
I wouldnt worry about the late arrival.
