Online check-in
Looking for any information regarding "online" check-in. We are doing the "single-digit dance" as of tomorrow & I'm considering it. I would like to know the pros & cons from people who've done it already.

Re: Online check-in
I think it's a pro!
Shorter line, package waiting, keys printed. You show them your ID, they show you your room, done!  I've been in the "key printer is jammed this will take a few more minutes" line before. I like that it's all ready to go for me. |

Re: Online check-in

Re: Online check-in
We did it for our last trip, because we were told that the check in line was crazy. But that wasn't the case. We walked right up to a regular window(the online check in person wasn't at the desk) and got our package after showing my ID. I had my hands full with a baby and 4 yr old, they gave the 4 yr old some stickers and coloring stuff. IMO it didn't save that much time because the regular check in area was pretty dead, maybe shaved off a couple of mins.

Re: Online check-in
When we were just at Pop, the regular line was pretty long and only one person ahead of us for online check-in. I'd recommend it, we were even able to change our room - it isn't like you pick up info without seeing a CM...

Re: Online check-in
I was very skeptical about this until I read into it further. Seems to be a good plan. you are checked in and ready to go once you go there and show your ID...half the wait time and you still have the ability to change rooms if you are unhappy with your room assignment. I made sure to have my building preference noted on my reservation and am hoping that is enough to get something close to what I want. I may try this in August. I am going to wait and read about more experiences to decide for sure.

Re: Online check-in
I just checked in online yesterday because we are not planning on arriving to VWL until around 7PM and we have an 8:30 adr at Ohana. I am hoping this makes the check-in process a lot quicker so we are not rushing to our adr.

Re: Online check-in
I believe its 10 days out, and if you go to your reservation online, you will find the link for it there.
