Early Morning Check-In Experience

[GeorgiaHoo]

I plan on checking in to Beach Club around 7AM the first morning in order to get our keys so we can be at Animal Kingdom at rope drop (9AM). Be driving to BC then back to the off-site hotel where we stayed the night before then driving to AK. Anyone have any experience with check-in that time of morning, particularly crowds? I experienced a fairly significant wait checking in at POR one time, though that was in the afternoon if I remember correctly. Hate to get to BC at 7AM then have to wait 30-45 minutes to get checked in, so if need be I can get there a bit earlier.

Thanks in advance

There won't be any line for BC check in at 7am.

(Unless something weird happens, like the computer system goes down.)

I have stayed at the BC a few times, being from South Florida we like to arrive at the hotel around 8am and I must say I have never waited more than 5 min, with that in mind I would have to say 7am might be 1 min wait time

Cape May Cafe wait time is a whole different story

Thanks! I figured that would be the case but didn't want an unexpected surprise.

Check in will be even quicker if you do online check in before you arrive. I did that for a trip to SSR over a year ago. We arrived around 7:30am, immediately received our package info and then unfortunately for us had to wait around until 1:30 in the afternoon for our room to be ready.

Never stayed at that hotel, but we've typically checked in to our resorts that early in the past with no issues.
