Some people think it lessens their chance at getting an upgrade, not true.
Some people feel the experience is less magical by doing online check in, not true. I've always gotten the same awesome disney customer service whether we've done online check in or not. The CMs are just as chatty and helpful at the online check in desk as the normal check in desk.
Some people think they can't ask to change their room assignment if they don't like their current assignment. Again not true.
Right now there is no real advantage to doing online check in or checking in normally. We like to do it because all of the planning has been done by the time we do online check in and it gives me something to do for our trip. I know it sounds stupid, but it makes me feel like we're one step closer.
There will be one advantage to online check in once they roll out FastPass+. Once that happens you will be able to make your FP+ reservations at 60 days out but only AFTER you have done online check in.
Lol, thanks! I know what you mean about feeling one step closer! We'll be there on my birthday (33) and our youngest DD's (5) birthday in August. The wait is almost unbearable!!! My baby is going to be eating dinner in the castle as she turns five,,,,time is ticking just as slowly as while we were anxiously awaiting her birth!!! But hey, now I have at least one more thing to make a decision about....to do online check in,,or not
