Early Check-in Question

[DfromATX]

This June we are spending two days at Universal before going to Disney. Our plan is to check out of the Universal hotel early in the morning and take a cab to Port Orleans Riverside. We are hoping we will be able to check in, get our tickets, and head over to HS no later than noon. I know usual check-in times are later in the afternoon and I realize our rooms probably won't be ready early, but will there be a problem with droping off our luggage and getting our tickets? (Normally we take the ME from the airport so of course we don't have to worry about our luggage.)

No problem!!! They'll hold your bags until you are ready for them.

 

[DfromATX]

Great! Thank you!!

Yup, they'll hold the bags. They'll even refrigerate some groceries if you decide to stop at a store first.

Have fun!

Btw- I've checked in at 7am and had my room ready. I made sure my estimated check in time was listed early like that. I knew they'd let me check in that early, but boy was I shocked that my room was also ready. Different WDW resort, but still- if they can do it...so can the others.

i have been to the resort as early as about 6:30 to check in and get tickets. we dont even unpack car, we just either drive to the first park or leave car and hop on a bus! cant wait to get started! no problem checking in early.

earlier the better lol...everyone beat me to it, but the holding your bags things has worked a few times for us...great feature!

Do on line check in and they will know you are coming early and may give you a room that was empty the night before. We already had our room ready at 7am lots of times doing that.

The earliest they can guarantee you can check-in (or pre-register, in Disney-speak) is 7am. Earlier is possible, but not guaranteed.
