I tried the midnight check in on Friday night/Saturday morning, and wasn't able to check in either, but was able to still book the excursions. There were probably 10 or so cabanas available, which surprised me, but I figured they'd be gone by morning. When I got up at 7 to actually check in, I looked at excursions...and still had half a dozen cabanas available! Made me want to book one for the day, lol! (Hubby said no

) Oh well...was still very surprised that they weren't all taken the first night!
