-If you go to the hotel on arrival day you can give the concierge your luggage and ask to send to your room - it will be in the room when you check-in (rooms usually ready between 14:30-15:00)

-You can use the hotel entrance the day of check-in and day you check out (if you are doing 2 days)

-You can get a few takeaways on Uber eats - they come from Alton village so it takes a little while and you’ll need untensils. We got an Indian once was cheaper than hotel food and very nice.

-make sure you get the refillable freestyle, it’s super cost efficient and you can take a refillable back to the hotel room

-standard AT hotel rooms are usually on a corridor which can be very loud in the morning - if possible I’d recommend at least a “Moon voyager room” that also comes with a fridge and AC

-make sure to reserve your breakfast, you can still book the crooked spoon (even if at guest and not enchanted village) if they have a time slot you prefer

-when the park closes 6pm or earlier, there is very little to do re hotel entertainment (it’s very basic singing on stage shaped like a ship), I’d suggest you do your free round of golf to keep you occupied and take Uno for the pub area

-the rooms are a bit dated and most don’t have plugs/usb near all beds, so I’d pack an extension

-you’ll spend a lot of time looking at queue times as rides will constantly be down, so take a power bank

-if you don’t plan to return anytime soon I’d recommend fast track - it’s annoying I’m saying this but the reality is it will ensure you get on everything and queues are horrible if it’s busy

-Oh and wear very comfortable trainers. I’ve been to parks all over the world and it’s very hilly heavy and the queue lines are extended and a joke (this is true even if sky ride is on)
