So let me get this straight....if we did EBCI and are staying at a Disney Resort....they will print our boarding passes for us...correct??!!
That hasn't been my experience. I have never been one of those who found their SW stuff in their room, or hanging from their door knob. I have always had to go down to RAC and get checked in...but that's okay with me. I have to go there anyway, to deliver my bags, so what's the big deal with having them print out my bp's.
Let me amend this by saying that yes, they will print out boarding passes. You don't need to have access to a printer. You can just head down to the front desk, or concierge area, of your resort and your boarding passes can be printed out, at the 24 hr mark. I made an assumption earlier....thinking you meant that you needed to do nothing, that your printed out boarding passes would just magically 'appear' in your room. Just wanted to be clear.
When flying SW, A1-15 are always saved for business select people, A-listers. BUT.....in all the times I've flown SW, I have never seen that group full...usually there is no one in those slots, sometimes just a few. I have actually paid full fare and been able to get A1-3..that was kinda nice.
But generally speaking, the regular, everyday traveler is going to start with A16 and go up from that. With so many people now buying EBCI, we are going to see many more EBCI people getting slots in the early B boarding group. I have only one issue with that....the family boarding group, especially when flying into and out of MCO. I truly would not be happy with paying extra only to have a largish family board prior to me. As long as SW is consistent with their family boarding policy...one adult family member per child...I'll be okay with it. But, don't start letting the entire family board together.
