Delta just changed our flights, so instead of arriving on 11/20 at 6:30 pm, we arrive at 10:30 am. While the thought of waking up at 4:30 am doesn't thrill me, I am slowly starting to embrace the idea that we now have a nice chunk of a day to enjoy the resort/do other things when we arrive.
We are booked in an Outer Building Theme Park view room. Any idea what time rooms are usually ready? I am guessing by the time we arrive at the resort it will be close to noon (we are using DME for transportation). Trying to decide if we should hand carry our luggage and then leave it with concierge and then go off and explore, maybe do DS for shopping and lunch, then come back for when room is ready. We never check bags when we travel so I don't want to pay to check bags just for the convenience of the DME handling everything and delivering straight to the rooms. Any idea if we would be allowed to leave luggage someplace if we don't do the check-in through to the resort?
Other ideas of things to do while we wait for our room? We aren't planning on doing parks until Thursday so we will now have 1 1/2 days of resort time..
You can definitely leave your luggage with Bell Services after you check in. They will hold it for you & give you a little claim ticket to hand them when you return to pick it up.
Your idea of Disney Springs is a good one. Maybe make an ADR at a restaurant there. You could also explore the resort, take a walk over to check out the Poly or a monorail ride over to see the Contemporary. Or if you keep your swimsuits handy, you can go in the pools at GF. Enjoy!
