So the only flight we can take from our local airport arrives in Orlando at 8:20pm. Since we don't want to waste money on an extra night at the Royal Pacific Hotel just to sleep we were thinking of staying at the Super 8 or Day's Inn close by. We want to be out pretty early, maybe around 7am. Then grab some breakfast and take an Uber to the Resort. Would this be too early to check in? Could we at least get the front of the line passes and leave our bags somewhere? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
 
You can check in that early, and bell services is to one side of the check-in desk to store your bags, and the place you print your express passes is on the other side.
 
We did this last Saturday. We stayed at an offsite hotel and went over to Royal Pacific about 9:00 am. Our room was not ready, but they gave us our express passes right then, we did not have to go to another line. We hit the parks and got a text around 3 pm that our room was ready. We then just stopped back by the front desk and they gave us our new room key/express passes.
 


We did similar last year. We took a shuttle from MCO to an airport hotel, stayed one night with 5 of us in a cheaper room, then ate their free breakfast at 6 a.m. and caught an Uber to Royal Pacific. Checked in, gave bell services our luggage, and took the boat to the parks for early opening. Worked very well. We spent the day at the park until our room was ready about 3:30, then retrieved our luggage and swam.

Yep, you'll be fine. We stay our first night off-site then move to the resort early the next morning. We have never had an issue checking in, leaving our bags, getting our tickets, and making it to the parks before Early Park Admission starts. They will text you when your room is ready.
 


It changed last year back to the older system of using your hotel room card to use the ep lines

Same. We moved last Friday from Rosen Shingle Creek, where we'd been for a conference, to RPR. Arrived about 7:30am, were able to check in and get our express passes and take our luggage to bell services. Headed to the parks, got the room text around 2:30 and headed back over and got settled in the room. Easy as pie.
