If we wait for check-in then that would put us getting at the park at about 4 or 5.

Nine times out of ten, our room has been ready for us when we arrived, many times early in the morning. If it's not ready, you can still take a shower at the pool area bathrooms (check with your resort, I'm not sure if all of them have this option) and then you can get a full day in at the parks. This is one of the best perks Disney does for its resort patrons, is to not make them wait until checkin and miss out on half of the day.
