Hi Lauren,
Thanks for visiting the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
Check-In and Check-Out times for
Disney Vacation Club Resorts are set at
after 4:00 PM for Check-In and
11:00 AM for Check-Out. While I have on occasion arrived to find our resort accommodation ready earlier than the standard check-in time, it’s best to plan on the standard check-in time. You can also take advantage of
Online Check-In, and that makes for a convenient way to simplify your resort arrival.
If you are arriving at your resort from Orlando International Airport using
Disney's Magical Express, your tagged luggage will be delivered to your Walt Disney World Resort room.
On most of our trips, we arrive in the mornings and we make plans for things to do before Check-In. Sometimes we visit one of the parks, grab a late breakfast or early lunch, do some
Disney Springs shopping, or simply relax at the resort.
Enjoy your trip planning and enjoy your stay!
Jerry
