Anyone NOT doing online check-in, like me? Every time I've done it I've had nothing but problems SO I'm going to try it this way and see if it goes smoother. Hard to fight the the desire to check-in though

We've never done online check-in, doubt we'll start doing it any time soon, I personally don't see the point.

In theory it is suppose to save time at check-in. However, every time and I mean every, it's been problematic. No one helping the online check-in guests, my cc was not saved etc. I stayed concierge level at the Poly they didn't know how to handle getting us to our building, we ended up walking. It wasn't a problem to walk, mind you, it was their confusion I found frustrating.

Going in 17 days!!! First time ever for 4 out of the 5 in our group (all in our early 20s)

We have been to WDW for about 8years, and the last couple of years my oldest dd does online check-in. This will be our first DVC trip and I didn't want online, but dd insist we do it.

We've done online check-in for our Oct. 2009 and Aug. 2010 trips... We stayed at CBR and POFQ. It was a quick process... got our welcome package, hardly any lines... Last time we arrived at CBR at 10am, the room was ready for us. Since we haven't had any bad experiences yet, we will stick with it.

I've only had one bad experience checking in at ASsports... waited over one hour!!! In case crowds like that happen again, I rather do online check-in.

In 1 week[/SIZE Ill be on a plane about to land in Orlando :cloud9:

I cant believe how quickly this trip has gotten here! Time always does fly by, but this trip has especially snuck up on me because Ive had so much going on this fall!

I still have so much to do this weekend! I figure once Monday comes around I will not have anytime to do anything because of school and my trip to the city on Tuesday night so I have to get it all done this weekend!

I'm not doing online check-in either, especially since we have special requests that I would rather handle in person. Everything I've read makes me say "Skip online" and deal with the results when I get there.

I'm not doing online check-in. I had some special requests and need to make sure that those requests are met for my daughter's physical disability. I just don't trust that those will be met with online check-in even though we did go through the special needs department.

Getting really excited! Question - is there any place on property to print out pictures from an SD card? We are planning on sending our Xmas cards from WDW and would like to include a picture from our vacation. Thanks!!

beatlesblonde · Nov 27, 2011

We leave Thursday! Today is my last day of work, going to start packing tonight and do the last of the laundry tomorrow. Going to take care of all the last minute stuff tomorrow too since I have school Tuesday and Wednesday. I'm so excited, I'm already having trouble sleeping!

I believe The Darkroom (camera shop) at the Studios can print photos. It's one of the of the first shops on your right when you come into the Studios. Not sure how much print would cost though.
