How early is early check in?

[corinascot]

If we arrived at Royal Pacific at 7:15, can we check in, leave our bags with the bellman and be at IOA by 8 for early hour?

Thanks

We've checked in at 7 am to get to the IOA gates by 7:30 am.

i check in before 7 and no lines .......
your room won't be ready probably but you can have valet store your items and place them in your room once it is assigned.

it wouldn't take you over 10 minutes for the check in procedures.
if you walk to ioa from rph, it could take you about 10 minutes.
take a boat, less time.

plenty of time to make it to ioa front gate before 8.

Be aware that the park usually opens at 7:45 for early entry if it there are any types of crowds. Normal crowds will be let in at 8:45. I guess they are allowing for time to walk to the back of the park.

that's right damo.
on more crowded time seasons, they do let peeps in earlier.
around 15 minutes like you posted.

This is good to know. I am trying to decide how to eat a quick breakfast at HRH (club does not begin until 7:30) and make it to the front gates of IOA ASAP. Any suggestions?

Save something from the day before to eat, do HR and then come back for more breakfast?

You may also want to take the parking lot route instead of the water route when you are going that early. There is a post on the main boards about it.
