Checking In Question

[gemini2727]

We have the choice to arrive at Beach Club at about 11 AM or 3 PM, depending which flight I book. Do you think it's worth getting there earlier in the hopes of requesting a certain room (or near to it?) Is any certain arrival time better for this, in your experience?
Thanks for any info!

Some say it's better to check in earlier for the best rooms, but in our experience, it's never made a difference. We have checked in during all times of the day (anywhere from 9 am to after midnight/1 am) and have always received great rooms with our requests being met.

Ok great, thank you. I was hoping not to get up so early for the first flight!

You're welcome .

Keep in mind that if you check in and get a room that is not to your liking (or doesn't meet your requests, if you have any), you can always ask if a different room is available. It's not guaranteed your room can be changed, but it never hurts to ask .

I'm always for getting to Disney as early as possible, so I would go for the 11 flight

You're right, never to early for Disney! My kids talked me into the early flight, which will get us to the hotel at about 11. The flight is at six am! Wish me luck. lol!

We always take the 6am flight because we like to get to Disney early. We've arrived at the BC around 11am and most of the time our room is ready for us. I think the earlier time gives you a better chance to switch to another room if you don't like the one you have been assigned.

The only time we haven't been allowed in early was a DVC stay. We just head to DTD and grab food, shop, and relax a bit.

Thanks all, now I'm psyched to get going early, the more Disney the better!

Absolutely. Drop the bags with Bell Services if the room isn't ready and start the FUN!
