I'll jump onto this thread in hope of a definitive answer regarding changing hotels

let's say I stay one night at a value, like the OP before my main stay (this main stays carrying the tickets)
on the morning of the hotel change, can I go straight to the parks (and let bell services handle the luggage) and enter the parks, use dining and all, and then go check in later in the day/afternoon
or do I need to go check in first for some sort of "activation" of the package (which would be a UK package) ? I would have MBs from the first night, so no issue there;

thanks for any first hand experience
