Red eye to MCO.. early check in?

[Off to Neverland 7]

Our red eye flight lands at MCO at 8:23am and we check in to POP the same day we land. After ME, thinking we would arrive at the resort around 10am. How likely would it be to check in that early?

We have checked in that early but it's not guaranteed of course. It's hard to really give an idea of whether a room will be available or not.

You can check in any time after 6AM. The thing is, there might not be a room available. If you have specific requests, this is even more true.

You can check in early. The question is whether or not your room will be ready. It might or might not be. When you check in, if they tell you it's not ready, ask if there is any other room ready that you can take. There might be something available. If nothing is, they'll hold your bags at Bell Services so you can do something else. If you bring your swimsuits in a carry on, you can go swimming at the resort while you wait. They have towel service at most of the pools, so no need to bring those. Or you can hit the parks.

You have a better chance of getting a room early, if you don't make any requests.

There is a difference in terminology. You can "Check in" as early as 6 AM. This makes you a resort guests and you are free to use all resort amenities.
"Room Ready" is totally different. It may be, but it is not likely. Have alternative plans for the day to meet all possible scenarios

We have had a room ready by 1pm two out of three years.

I guess the worst thing that could happen is you'd have to consume some caffeine and find some fun things to do for a few hours. Hope it works out for you!

I was at Pop Century in December. I came in from Hawaii and landed at 7:30 a.m.. Requested early room and got my text when I landed that my room was ready. I was so early that I was the only one on the Magical Express bus. LOL
