Pool Before Check-In

[Pookie9922]

We are staying offsite the night we arrive, then coming over to The Beach Club for the rest of our trip. Our first day there will be a non-park day. Can we use the pool at the Beach Club before we are checked into our room?

They can hold our luggage for us until check-in, right? Can anyone tell me about how long it might take to check our luggage in at Bell Services? (Are we talking 15 minutes or an hour?) One of the things we'd like to do is get a late breakfast at AoA and go to the drawing class there. I'm trying to judge what time we'd need to leave the Marriott that is close to WDW and still be able to get breakfast before the class but we'll need to drop our luggage off at the Beach Club first.

You can check in as early as 6AM. Your room probably won't be ready but you can check in. Once you've checked in you're a resort guest and have use of all resort amenities including the pool.

If your room's not ready yet, yes Bell Services will store your luggage.

Hard to say exactly. We've had it take anywhere from 2-20 minutes. Never an hour.

1. Yes, after 6 am on the day of check in you can use all resort amenities. There are changing rooms and showers near the pool for you if need be.

2. Yes, they'll give you a receipt for the luggage given to them prior to your room being ready (though on the off chance, sometimes it is!). You can either A), pick up your luggage on your own when the room is ready, or B)have bell services deliver it to your room (remember to tip).

You can check in as early as 6AM.

You do have to check in, though. Until then, you are not a resort guest and can't use the pool.

Right!

Yes- as soon as you check in you can use all of the hotel amenities. I would suggest packaging a separate pool bag (or having everything easily accessible) so you don’t need to go through your luggage (and don’t forget sunscreen!)They took our luggage as soon as we pulled up but we used Magical Express (not sure if that matters). But there is a stand right outside the main entrance and they seem very helpful.
