    Default What's the earliest

    You have done early check in and your room was ready?


    We will be getting to the poly around 9 am on Saturday, I know that most likely it will not be ready but I have had my room ready at the Beach Club at 10 am before.


    Who's had the earliest room??

    In January of 2011 we stayed at the Poly and our room was available at 9:00am-ish.

    We took a red-eye which got to MCO at about 7:00am. We were the only ones on our ME bus and then we got straight into our room at the Poly. I don't expect that same luck next time, but, aaaaah, that was truly Magical!

    Beach Club 6:30 AM

    Actually, It was ready 11:00 PM the night before, but they wouldn't give me any discount, not even the existing discount I had for the next day, so I went to All Stars for the night.

    We were just at the Yacht Club last week and checked in around 1030am and our room was ready. Wonderful treat and lunch at Beaches N' Cream just after 11am! Wish I were still there...

    We usually check in around 10am - 10:30am and our room is ready about 1/2 of the time.

    We figure that is pretty good!

    Unhappy

    I thInk we were staying at Old Key West and we drove down. My dad kind of got on a roll and didn't want to stop so we ended up arriving in Disney around 1am. My parents decided we would just go to the resort, explain to the front desk that we were very early, and see what happened. We were prepared to have to go somewhere else for the night but we were able to check in then. I think an extra night was added but we didn't need to change rooms plus we got an extra whole day.

    Hmmm, I wonder at what point during the morning they would NOT charge you for the extra "night."

    Good to hear! When we go back in October we're driving straight thru (as opposed to a stop overnight), so we should be arriving around 11:30am-12pm. My planned arrival day fun works out even better if we're able to get into our room around 12/1pm.

    I hope to be at the Poly at 8'ish (if I can get the others out of bed!) in a few weeks. Things will be busier the second week of June and I think they may be close to capacity. I don't think my odds will be very good to get right in. Especially with a connecting rooms request.

    But it is the Most Magical Place on Earth. Never say Never!

    Its usally a hit or miss, but its happened for us a few times..

    Pop Century at 8:30am

    POR at 10am

    All Star Movies 8:30am

    In September, my flight arrives in MCO at 8:10am so I'm expecting to arrive at POFQ at around 10:30am so if its ready that'll be great, if not I will hit the parks and wait for the text.
    Been there, Haven't done it all...GOING BACK!!!
