Why should you expect Disney to provide you with the better part of another day for free when they could be booking another family into the room? On the other hand, Disney is really bending over to allow guests to leave their luggage. enjoy the parks, and leave much later than check- out. I say leave the luggage, enjoy your last day, and say "Thank you" to the CMs for allowing you to do it. --Fizzie

The chain I work for guarantees a check-in at 4PM which means that's the time all of our available rooms have to be cleaned and ready for a guest. Even when we aren't busy we generally don't go later than 2 as it's too difficult when guests say "but you let me check out at (insert time) the last time I stayed here". When we are full we rarely go past noon. Disney goes a long way accommodating people in this regard, holding your luggage for you and all. I wouldn't count on getting a late checkout from either of those other hotels you've talked to either, especially if you've called their central reservations office and not the specific hotel to ask about a late checkout. We've run into that problem as well where they tell a guest they can have something while makeing a reservation, but it's not the case when they arrive. -- Toodles, Patti ºoº http://www.myspace.com/pattinh http://www.facebook.com/PattiNH You must have faith that the universe will unfold as it should....
