Checking In

[tigger3311967]

We will be at OKW Dec. 16-23. My husband and I will be in a studio for two nights and will then move to a 2-bedroom because we have friends joining us for the last part of the trip. I have us checking into the 2BR on the 18th but it looks like the rest of the party won't be able to get to OKW until the 19th or 20th. I'm assuming that my husband and I will be able to go ahead and check in and then they'll just check in when they get there. When we check in do I just need to let them know that they will be arriving later than planned? Thanks for your help.

When he checks-in, he will get rooms keys for all persons listed on the reservation. The others don't need to checkin. If you are doing the DDP, that will have to be paid for in full at checkin.

As JaxFLBear said, they will not need to check in at all. You will have their room keys and can hand them out when they arrive. You do not need to let anyone know that they won't be until until later.

If you do have the meal plan you will have to pay for them for all nights on the reservation, even though they will miss out on the first one or two. The plan dictates that you purchase it for all members of your party for all nights on the reservation.

When I have guests coming later, I prefer that the desk hold the keys so my friends check in when they arrive and we don't have to necessarily be around the resort to welcome them. Just my preference, and AKV and BCV have accomodated us like that. My friends get their keys at the front desk. We've not used the dining plan under these circumstances.

You can check in for them and get their keys or let the front desk know their info and they can get their keys when they arrive. As noted, you'd have to pay for any DDP options on check in. They will not be able to apply a CC as only 1 card can be on a single room, even a 2 BR lockoff.
