Before Your Check-in and After Your Check-Out Tips for Walt Disney World - BOGP 2250

Mike, Pam, and Scott are here today to discuss things to do in those times when you arrive at Walt Disney World and your resort room isn't quite ready. Do you stay at the hotel and enjoy the pool? Do you get in the car and head to Publix or Target? Do you visit Disney Springs for a drink and a meal with some shopping? Is it straight to the theme parks for you? Also, how do you handle the last day when you have a late flight, but you have to check-out of your room earlier in the day? Do you keep going hard at the parks? Do you hang at your resort until heading back to the airport? I'm very curious to hear how you handle these situations!
