Help with a simple question...

[lilsunshine1219]

Please forgive me, my first trip to disney and our families first time on an airplane is Aug 18th. I am traveling Southwest, so I know that their unassigned seating means that I should check in online. My question is if I check in online for my flight out, do I have to do the same when I leave or will I have the same A, B or C boarding status when my flight out of Orlando leaves. I am sorry I am completely new at this.

You will need to check in online for both legs of your flight, so that means if you want to assure yourself an "A" group boarding pass, you need to check in 24 hours prior to your departure from Orlando to home. I do believe that you can go to the front desk at WDW hotels and they will check you in and print your boarding passes for you. Alternately, you could use the business center to get online and check in yourself (if your hotel has a business center). Or, if you are taking a laptop, you can check in online, but then print your boarding passes from a kiosk when you get to the airport.

Oh, and in general if you are traveling with a child 4 or under, you'll be allowed to preboard, so your group assignment shouldn't be a problem.

Southwest flights can be really fun -- the crews are very funny (and corny) but they are can be really over the top on flights to Orlando. Have fun!

If you have a Web-enabled cell phone you can check in with that as well as reprint at the airport.

You can have a friend do it for you and reprint.

But as TARA stated most On-sights are use to it and will do it if not busy at the time .
