When you get back to the resort (wait until at least 3 p.m.) the room should be ready!

Even if the room is not ready, you CAN check in. In fact if you're on any sort of vacation plan that includes tickets and meals, YOU HAD BETTER CHECK IN AS SOON AS YOU ARRIVE IN WDW OR YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE DOING ANYTHING OR GETTING THAT MEAL YOU'RE STARVING FOR!
Even if you've driven in, depending on what's in your luggage, you'll probably want to remove it from the car and have bell services hold them until your room is ready. Especially in summer heat!! This is doubly true if you have any perishables or electronics in the car or in fact, anything that will melt in a 100 degree car oven.
