Checking In Early for DDP?

[BROWNSPHAN]

Ok so I wasn't sure if this should go on the DDP or Resort Codes or somewhere else......Anyways here is my dilemma....

We are Vacation club members ( DW, DD-15, DD-8 & Myself) that have been on a wait list for any studio for Nov 27th-Dec 5th. Nothing available so far at any of the home resorts. So in the meantime ...we are also AP holders so I went ahead & booked us at All-Stars Sports, since we get a discount on rooms. Price for preferred room, DDP, + Ins was 1913.24 (Not Bad)

Now here is where the dilemma comes in. We are also VISA holders so we could get free dining offer if we change dates a little. But i have purchased airfare a few months back for 700.00 for all 4 from Rochester, NY direct flight each way. Airfare for any other day is insane for days before Thanksgiving.

I checked that if we booked from NOV 22nd- DEC 5th @ All-Stars, plus each of us getting a 1 day pass it would be around 1700.00. Now I could use the day passes towards next year AP so that is worth it to be ahead a little, but we still cant check in physically till the 27th.Has anyone every heard or done this. Can you check in before you are actually there? I don't care about the days we aren't there as we are still ahead of the dates i have now. I would use the accrued TS credits for Signature dining & CS for Breakfast. It would almost be like I created my own DXDP.

I would like to hear EVERYONE'S opinion!!!

I have never heard about checking in before you are there. I would call the resort directly and speak to a manger to see if this is possible. Short of anyone else actually doing it, we'll just be speculating for what is or isn't possible.

Hope it works out for you, that's a great deal
