When I made my reservations I let them know we'd be checking in super late, and I am planning to call and verify before we leave too that they have the late check in info....should I be safe with this? I don't want to get down there in the middle of the night to have my room given away. Should I call when we're on the road just to make sure again or am I just over-worrying this one? I've only heard great things about HoJo on here, so hopefully I don't have a problem! Thanks guys!

They're the last line of defense, and will be your best shot at hanging on to your reservation. Good luck!
Originally Posted By SuzieQ Did you give a credit card number when you reserved? (The answer is "yes", it's required by HoJo's) Look on your confirmation. It should say guaranteed for late arrival. They take that credit card number so they can charge you a night if you don't show up. Go ahead and give them a call. It should ease your mind. Hotels are very used to people arriving in the middle of the night.

Originally Posted By mickeynewe Hi! You won't have any problems, but just to ease your mind call again. We normally ALWAYS drive about the same time, from the Bay Area, and get in after midnight. I'm kind of bummed that this year we are going early in the morning like 4Disnee normally does. I am NOT the 3am type of girl, unless that is when I'm getting to bed...its definitely NOT the time I want to get UP! As to the confirmation, I was told they only send it by request. They told me they could not email it, but I did receive a hardcopy by mail. Most people don't care, but I HAVE to have it for my binder or I worry...natural born worrier here....and I just need to be able to "look" at the confirmation. HAHAHA...I'm so weird....
