checking in early

[Mitzi]

I am planning on arriving in Orlando the night before and was planning on staying off site for the night.. We are staying at WL and was wondering if we can drop off our luggage at WL and go on into the parks? Thanks

You can check in to your Disney resort early in the morning. They will give you all your documents and room keys (with park passes on them if you have purchased them through Disney). If a room is available (you might be lucky) you can go to it and unpack. If a room is not available they will give you a phone number to call later and the resort will store your luggage until you return later. If they have to store your luggage make sure you take anything you may need for that day until your room is ready. You are considered a Disney guest from the moment you check in until midnight of your last day. You can take advantage of EMH, Disney transportation, etc.
We always get there early so we can get to a park right away!

We do this for every trip and it works great. We check in around 7:30am, drop off the luggage and head to one of the parks. We call the phone # provided to check for our room. When it's ready, we go back to the hotel for a break.
