what are the chances?

what are the chances of being able to check in? We are arriving in Orlando at 11:01am and using Magical Express. I'm assuming we will arrive at All Star Movies between 12:30 & 1:00pm. Oh and we are arriving 9/23. Do you think we will be able to check in? Its not a problem if we don't, we are going to the parks, just wondered about what we will do with the luggage that we are carrying with us. Thanks!

I have been very lucky with being able to check in early.

You can check in at any time of day but 3:00 is the time they actually say a room will be ready.

We checked in at Animal Kingdom Lodge on July 9 @ 1pm with no problem.

It all depends whther or not they have clean rooms. In September you really shouldn't have a problem checking in at 1pm. If a room is not ready bell services will hold your carry ons for you.

Yep, check in when you arrive, if a room isn't available you can just go to a park, and your luggage will be stored for you until you get back.

They make it very easy.

Your room will likely be ready, but if it's not they will give you a little card with a phone number to call after 3PM. Check your luggage at bell services and go have fun!

I just used my cell phone (gotta love nationwide plans) but they told me if I needed to just ask a CM to use a courtesy phone. Called, got the room number, and the card key they previously gave me worked like a charm.

Don't worry about it! If you do go the card route, they will also transport your luggage for you.

Have a great time!

N.E.D.
