We arrived at the Paradise Pier Hotel at about 10am last Tuesday and they were more than happy to get us checked in. Our room wasn't ready yet, so the CM gave us our card keys and took down my cell # so that they could text me when the room WAS ready. The Bell Desk took our bags off our hands, and we were free to enjoy the parks. Whole process took less than 10 minutes. I think the text message saying the room was ready came between 1 and 2pm, and included the room # we were assigned. We took the monorail back to DTD, walked the rest of the way to the hotel, grabbed our bags from the Bell Desk, and went straight up to our room. Both of our keys worked, and *presto* we had a room!
