We are heading to WDW in a couple of weeks. Since we have young children (one being an infant), we have found it easier to drive at night. We are about 8 hours away.
We have done different things on previous trips, depending on what time we left. We have left around 6pm and gotten a hotel room in Jacksonville. Once we left later and drove straight there, arriving at 5am. That time we parked and dozed in the car until daylight, and were able to check into AKL around 7am. The last time we booked POR for one night since we knew it would be late and hated to pay $ for deluxe for just a few hours. We arrived that time after midnight.
We are unsure what time we will be able to leave on our next trip, so I am hesitant to make reservations for that night. We are staying at AKL. I'm just wondering how early others have been allowed to check-in, assuming rooms are available.
Thanks!!!
