Checking out of a Disney World hotel room can be a bit stressful. Gathering one’s belongings, making sure nothing’s left behind, preparing bags for plane or car travel, etc. On top of that, according to some reports, Disney is adding another layer on top of it.

According to Walt Disney World policy, “If you have a credit card on file—or you have a zero-dollar balance—it’s easy to check out of your room, with no need to stop by the Front Desk! You can enjoy streamlined checkout through the My Disney Experience app. Just open the app menu and select “Hotel Reservations”. Then select “View Charges” to begin checking out. If you forget—no worries, you’ll be automatically checked out at our checkout time, 11:00 AM.” However, it’s that final automatic checkout that seems to be causing issues.

According to guest reports online, some have found themselves automatically checked out and locked out of their rooms EARLIER than the 11:00 AM timeframe. According to these guests, it’s because they were told that location services built into the My Disney Experience App had registered them as being off of hotel property and therefore triggered the automatic checkout, deactivating their digital room key and leaving them locked out from their belongings.

While this may not seem like too big of an issue in theory — after all, many spend the morning of their checkout gathering their belongings — it can cause problems for guests who take an early trip into one of the theme parks to squeeze in a final ride or grab breakfast at park, other hotel, or Disney Springs.

Until this glitch is addressed, we would advise guests to either have breakfast at their hotel or drop their bags off with Luggage Services if they’re going to grab breakfast off hotel property or head into a park for an early morning jaunt prior to 11:00 AM.

According to reports, a new Disney hotel policy may be automatically checking guests out BEFORE 11:00 AM, and should be taken into account when planning the final morning of your trip! Stay tuned to DFB for more on this potential issue.
