Yes, unless they've introduced Park Tickets with a "Not Valid Before" date
Just check that they're on your MDE account and you should be good to go

asked the Disney live chat and this was the answer.
Sanders: I see. You would need to visit Disney's Coronado Springs Resort on the date of your arrival in order for the front desk to issue you actual tickets for the dates prior the vacation package would start. You will not have access to make Fastpass® + selections prior to your package either except on the day that visit the parks through one of our FP+ kiosk

I'm a little skeptical of Sanders's answer. I'm not sure why you would have to visit Coronado Springs before you've checked in there, to pick up "actual tickets," when you already have valid "virtual" tickets linked to your MDE account. I have a split stay coming up (room-only, followed by package-with-tickets) and was told (by two different CMs on Disney's help line) the same thing that @CAPTAIN HOOK said -- that my tickets would be usable and active beginning 10 days prior to my package check-in date, so long as I had the package properly linked to MDE.
I do understand and agree, however, that you cannot make FP+ in advance for any days prior to your package's check-in date (even if you can technically start using your tickets to enter the parks on those days) -- FP+ for any pre-check-in days are limited to day-of FP+, which can't be made until you've actually entered a park, which is what I think Sanders was trying to say in his/her second "sentence."

I know it's frustrating! I'm afraid that's one of the major problems with information from WDW -- if you wait 5 minutes, call someone else, or read a different FAQ on the Disney website etc., the information will change. The Moms Panel is the worst offender from what I've gathered (in terms of giving out "official" information -- shrilly! enthusiastically! with total conviction! -- that is 100% incorrect), but it's a common theme. That was why I called twice, several days apart, and spoke with two different CMs to ask them the same questions -- I figured if I got the same response from more than one person, it was more likely to be the correct answer.

At most, you *may* have to stop at Guest Relations at the park on your first day. I don't see that you'd have to go to the second hotel's front desk. So if you have a timetable on your first day at the parks, factor in some extra time in case you get rejected by the system at park entry.
Also based on prior stories here on the forums from those who have used their tickets early, the part about not being able to pre-schedule FP+ before the checkin date of the package the tickets are part of is correct.
