What is the latest you have arrived at the resorts

[tinkerbellandeeyor]

I am thinking we are getting there at 8 but we checked in on line

 

[heidijanesmith]

We arrived at 11:30PM as our flight had difficulties. I did check in online, but went to the front desk anyway.

About 11 years ago we arrived to our resort (FW) at around 3am. Our flight landed around 11pm, and we got the last Magical Express shuttle of the night. Since it was the last shuttle of the night it stopped at 4 resorts before ours. Having traveled from the west coast it made for a long day, especially when traveling with with two young toddlers.

We got to POR at around 2am once.

8pm doesn’t even count as getting there late.

We have had lots of flight delays in the winter and arrived past midnight several times. DD at 17 couldn't help herself when we arrived at CSR and she found out MK open unti 3am. She made me bus over and ride SM once then come back to check in and SLEEP! They were great and stored our stuff right at bell services desk in the lobby because of the late time.

After a flight delay we arrived once at BC at 2:50 am.

111 years ago?? Is this one of those "back in my day" kind of stories

Took an early flight so we could get into Disney in the late morning. Flight delay in St. Louis, got into the airport at 3:30 AM the next day. Took cab to Port Orleans. Arrived a little after 4AM. There was one person behind the desk. They comped us that night which was nice of them.

3:30AM, car trouble.

 

[maxiesmom]

1:30 am. Flight landed at 11 pm, but Magical Express wasn't so express.

 

[AngiTN]

About 12:30 AM. I agree with PP, 8:00 isn't even close to late.

The front desk is open 24 hours a day. If you do online check-in you may not even have to go to the front desk at all, you can to straight to your room.

3:30 am at Wilderness Lodge back when it was brand new. What a beautiful and unexpected sight to come in to! We'd had several flight delays and I'd gotten sick on the planes (DH was sure it was just nerves-I tend to agree!)

 

[Disneylover99]

5pm. That was late for us.

 

[buzznina]

We got to POR at around 2am once.

8pm doesn’t even count as getting there late.

Agree
We rarely arrive before midnight, normally 1 or 2 AM. We drive the 7 hours right after I get off work and then you add another hour because of the dumb hour time difference The latest was the next day because of car trouble.

 

[Ensusieasm]

1:30 am after a flight delay. Went to bed hungry, but made up for it the next day!

 

[Sandiz08]

12:00 A.M. Pop Century and went straight to our room with luggage.

 

[Mousemommy1]

We once arrived shortly after midnight because we had a delay due to the Boston Marathon bombing. I wouldn't count 8 as late.

Wow that was nice of them! They’d had the room ready for you perhaps since 3, and you got the room starting then without having to be “homeless” until checkin time that day. Wow.

No one should ever expect that but I’m glad it happened for you.

This page makes me worry that I am an overplanning Marine. We drive and I schedule 2 days at Daytona Beach so that we have a buffer in case something happens.
