How early can I check in?

[Papa Van]

We'll be arriving in Orlando the day before we're due to check-in at POR. We'll be staying off-site the night before and I was just wondering how early we can precheck-in and get our park tix?

As early as you'd like. You may not get your room right away, but you can get checked in. I've checked in as early as 7 a.m. before and they had my room ready already!

Thanks!!!! We're staying at the Masters Inn on Hwy. 192 the night before because we want to get a little rest and hit AK first thing in the morning. I'll be there at 7am.

Ditto. We have checked in also at 7:00 am. Happens all the time!

If your room isn't ready, they'll hold your luggage for you and even give you your room cards that you can charge on. I've checked in around 11am before and my room was ready. It just depends on how busy they were the night before and how much turn-around time they need.

Either way though, go in, drop off your luggage and enjoy your day. Your room will be there when you get back.

I have checked in at 3 a.m. once. I wonder if you would consider that early or late...

Somewhere on here, there was a post that said they will hold a hotel reservation until 6am. So you checked in late.

I gues that means 6am is the earliest you can check in.

Last time, I checked in at around 1, but room was not ready till 5. So, it varies.

Officially...

You can register at the front desk as early as 7:00 am, get your resort ID and theme park tickets, leave your luggage with bell services and start having fun! If a room is availiable it will be assigned to you. Otherwise you will recieve a business card with the resort phone number to call anytime after 3:00 pm ( 4:00 pm for Vacation Club Properties) to get your room assignment.

If you are delayed or arriving late, your room will automatically be held until 10:00 am the following morning from your scheduled arrival date.


Hope this helps! :sohappy:

Thanks, JP. Once again, the subject matter expert weighs in with the scoop! What would we do without you, JP? I hope we never find out!
