early arrival - late check in-what do u do?

[dbal]

Our flight is sceduled to arrive in Orlando at 9:15 a.m. And our hotel check in is not until 4:00 p.m. - We are staying offsite at a suite and a grocery stop is required- but I was wondering what everyone does in between and how they schedule that day.

thanks

I would suggest picking up a foam cooler and ice for anything that would go bad. Most hotels have a room to store baggage for incoming guests.
Also, depending on the day of the week/time of year that you are traveling, you may find that your room will be ready early.
We have allways been really lucky in that respect. But we tend to travel off season. We checked in on our last visit at 8am!!
Try calling the hotel and have them note on your reservation that you have an early flight.
#1 tip: Don't plan on it!! Be happy it if happens!!

When we have an early flight we pack our swim gear in an easy to get at bag and go to the pool after we grab something to eat. You could go and check out Disney Resorts. Just go exploring. I agree with the cooler if you don't have access to a cold room to store your things.
