How does it work? Is it open 8am-9pm and you can drop off/pick up whenever you want like on the cruise ships? Or do you have to be signed up to come? When they have premium activities do kids not participating have to be picked up? Thanks!
 
Hi there. You can actually sign up before you go on their website. We did this last time and it saves time filling out the paperwork when you get there. You can even select a couple of activities the kids would like to do, they emailed me back with reserved spots, saves you lining up to book them in on the day. It does open at 8am but this is open time in which parents can bring in younger kids that can't attend during the day yet. I think you can sign them in from 9.30am. They are now using 'magic bands' to check in and out the kids, which is what WDW uses. They cost $13 but you can choose to return them at the end of your trip and you wont be charged as long as they are in good condition still but we bought ours to keep as souvenirs. You can pick up and drop off as you wish unless it is a busy period and they are at capacity. Meals need to be reserved by a certain time of the day if you want them to have a lunch or dinner in there. My kids had lunch there one day and really enjoyed the food, it was an additional charge around $10 i think. Otherwise they get snacks, milk and water whenever they wish. Your kids can stay in the Beach house when the premium activities are on, these are done in a separate room. My kids favourite free activities was Stitches Space Goo. Have a wonderful time!
 
Meemoo explained it well. You can drop off like on the ships, but they can and do hit capacity. If you are signed up for a meal or activity, you will still be let in, even if they are "full." If you need them in there at a certain time, I'd sign up for an activity or meal, for which you need to be in line early, by 7:30 or so (other than the few pre-reserved slots you can now get for doing online registration, that wasn't offered yet when we went last June)
 

When you pre-reserve for the free activities, do you get to pick the day and time or is it random?

Random, we didn't select dates or times, if you want to do that you will need to when you arrive and see the activity plans.
 
If I have two kids, will they at least put them on the same day and time in the random assignment?
