Hi everyone,

I have a confusing situation. I have booked a res for fri 10/19-10/26 with a % off code for AKL Lodge Pook View (couldn't swing Savanna). We have the MYW package w/ park hopper, Disney Dining and Magic express. But, I really want to come in Saturday 10/18. This date is not available with the % discount.

Soooo,

I can add the 10/18 at rack rate as a seperate reservation. So here's my convuluted question.

Since my full package wouldn't start till the 10/19 I am guessing I could not use park tickets, or dining until the 19th when I check in.

BUT, can I check out of my 10/18 reservation in the am on 10/19 and check in under the new one so I can start making use of park tickets and dining? Can I do this earlier than 3pm (like 9 or 10? - even if I must wait for my room to be available till later -- any chance I might be able to stay in same room, just check in and check out).

And, most importantly -- can I use magic express on 10/18 even though I assume my voucher will say 10/19 as the free magical express will be on my full res, not my one day res.

Thanks anyone who could clarify this for me.

:) You can certainly check in before 3PM, as early in the morning (after 6AM I think) as you like. More than likely, your new room won't be ready, but bell services will hold your bags so you can go off to the parks. Staying in the same room depends, but I would certainly ask. They wil give you your park tickets, just not activate the room key until the room is ready... I think if you call DE and explain to them about arriving a day early, they'll help you out.
 
We did this exact thing last July. We checked in one day before value season (and our promotional code) started and then started our package the next day. We had our room keys w/ park hoppers and dining in our hands around 8:00 AM and made it to then MGM by opening. It worked out great.
 
As others have said you certainly can check in early on the 19th and get your park tickets and dining credits. You can also use ME on the 18th, as it will also be available on that nights reservation. It is available to all resort guests. Make sure you let them know so that your tags will be correct.
Have a Great Trip
