We're doing a split stay in late Oct (SSR/AKL). On the day we are supposed to check into AKL I have us going to UO/IOA for the day. And I mean THE DAY. I plan on hammering both parks and then eating dinner at Citywalk.

So....should we go before hitting the park (8am-ish)? Or wait until that night (9pm-ish)? I'm thinking the former, even though we won't get our room then, we won't need it.

This is my first split stay. Any advice?

Thanks.

We usually check in early. That way, we have lots of time to call the number on the room assignment card, and we know what our room number is before we get back to the resort, after a long day. We have never had to wait very long in line, doing an extremely early check-in like that. Evening check-in can be hit or miss.
A.M. beats dragging in there late in the P.M., and having to still wait through the check-in process, with tired kids in tow.
 
I agree. Do the early check-in. We have done several split stays and have always checked in early.
If you can, take your luggage with you. Then you won't be waiting for your luggage when you get back to your room. If it doesn't matter to you, let the resorts transfer for you.
