Re: new online check in

Listen! FACT ! On line check in saves both you and the folks next in line time. You can either believe it or not, you can either use it or not. Your choice.

Re: new online check in

If I check in online, will I get a confirmation of my building and room # 10 days out as well? If we know we will be in a back building then I can plan for it! That would be awesome.

I love the online dining btw :)

No you can't. No one gets their building or room # until you are standing in front of a CM at the check in counter. You can attempt to make your changes, if not the ones you requested, at that time. Believe me. I have gone through this 52 times.

Re: new online check in

Does anyone know if online check in can affect the ever so slight chance that one may have for a free hotel upgrade? Also, how about having booked through a TA as opposed to directly through Disney?

I'm so glad to hear the online check-in works pretty well. Our flight lands in Orlando at 8pm so I think by the time we get to the ME & make it to Pop it will be after 9- hopefully by doing the online check-in, we won't have to wait around in the lobby too long (3 kids & in-laws ) while DH gets us straight.

Re: new online check in

I wasn't planning on using it, but FIL went by POR to give them his CM info so I don't need him for check in on Thursday. He said the lines to check in were awful, and recommended we use online check in. I'll be alone with two young children, so it's much more convenient to use online, and I did.

I am sure in time the on line ressies and ADR's will be more convenient and I will probably try it on our next trip. We'll see.

We did use the on line check in for our trip in May and it was awesome experience.
I LOVE talking to the CMs too! When we booked our first trip, she was sooo helpful, making dining suggestions, tips about where to eat & when in order to catch fireworks & parades.... The CMs are definitely valuable resources & I just love that "have a magical day!"

Re: new online check in

Used the online several times and it's worked well. Your package is ready to go when you get there. Of course, I usually get there late evening so not much of a check in line then anyway. I'd think it would be a nice time saver earlier in the day though.

Re: new online check in

I just did the online part, if I remember I'll let you know how it goes after we've gotten there. I wasn't going to do this because I love chatting it up witht he CM's. I probably wont use the ADR's, it's just another things to get excited about when you can finally get to that point. I love dealing with CM's and that helps with the experience. So I do agree a bit. It think it'll be up to the people's personal preferance.
