Suggestions for very early arrival?

We sort of did a red-eye by mistake and still enjoyed the themeparks.

(We scheduled a 7am flight out of Atlanta. Well, I forgot that Atlanta is an hour ahead of us, and that you have to be at the airport 2 hours early. So 7am, turned into 4am, and we had to give ourselves time to get dressed and get to the airport, which meant that we had to get up at 3:15a.m. I also go to bed late, and could not get to sleep. I got 1 1/2 hours sleep.)

We were at the BWV by 9:30 a.m., and headed straight to Epcot. Our room was ready by 2:30 and we had a couple of hours of rest before our Biergarten ressie at 5:30. We got back to the room about 10 p.m. and were pretty bushed.

You should be fine with a pretty busy day. You'll be so tired that you'll hit the sack early and wake up on Orlando time.

I would most defintely do the online check in. As a part of the online check in they ask what is the earliest time that any member of your party will arrive. I think if you tell them that you are going to be there at 6:30 AM you will have a pretty good chance. We have never been able to check in that early, this past weekend we stayed at POP Century on Saturday night and whent to Kidani Village to check in on Sunday morning at 8:00 AM and there was a room ready for us.

We have never been able to check in that early. Best we have ever done was 12:00 Noon.

Just an option in my opinion.

If it was me, I'd pack swimsuits in a bag, then check in and store my stuff w/bell services. Then I'd take a bus to the MK and monorail to the POLY for breakfast at Kona. Follow up breakfast with swimming at the POLY and head back to AKV when I got a text that the room was ready.

There is always the breakfast option. But you may get lucky. I was able to get in one time at 8:45
