Early check-in

[Kate and Family]

Keeping in mind, that I do not care if the room is ready when I check-in -
1) What is the earliest we are able to check in
2) What is the earliest that you have ever checked in.

TIA

We've checked in at 6:00am'ish. Just left our luggage at guest services and got our room keys.

We always have an early flight ( dont want to waste an oppurtunity for a full day in Disney) so we arrive to our hotel usually around 11am. We check in, once or twice we have had the room all ready for us, but most of the time we grab lunch, have a swim and the room is done usually around 2pm.

The earliest I've ever checked in was at 7am. It was a situation where I had to book my trip as two separate reservations because the first night of my stay wasn't available under a discount but rest of the stay was. I was told I could re-"check in" anytime after 6am.

There is a certain time that park tickets are activated on your room keys this early...I think it's close to this time, 6 or 7am. We got our room cards really early one time and had to go to guest services at the park to have them activated when they opened since we got them too early.

This is exactly what our situation was so thank you for validating the time.

we just arrived on May 31 at 8 a.m. and we were able to get our room them. It was all ready for us fo rthe day!

We were shocked but really happy because we didn't prepare for it to be ready. We ended up taking a short nap since we drove through the night.

I think it just depends on the busy season, and by fluke!
Good luck

The last time we were there, we checked in at 11am and our room was ready.

We always check in very early, because we want to get the most out of each night we pay for at the resort! Generally the first "night" of our stay we leave the house right after showers and breakfast. We always check-in between 8am-10am. We've only had to wait for a room ONCE in all those times, and it was at POFQ when they were doing refurbs and I had a very specific requests. All other times we've been given a room right away!

We've checked in as early as 7:30 am when we do split stays and are moving to our second resort. We like to take a cab over with our luggage check in and still make rope drop. We have had good luck with rooms being ready, and the check in lines have been shorter checking in early then waiting for mid day.

Last trip, we checked in at 4:30 a.m. (after driving 12 hours) and a room was ready for us! We were prepared to nap in the car until a room was ready, but fortunately didn't have to do that.

The last two years I have had to check-in for a room only and check in the next day for my package.

A new computer system was put in about two years ago.

I have been at the check-in desk at 7 am just as the computers are rolling over for the new day.

We usually check in around 6am, grab a bite & head to the park with the early EMH.....
We have AP's so we don't have to worry about tickets being on the KTTW card.
