When I went in Feb I did online check-in. When I got to the resort, I had not received my request (I asked for a refurbished room by the lake). I stayed at POP. I asked the CM that was checking me in if it would be possible to have a refurbished room. She was great. She found a room for me and even managed to find a room next door that my friend could have - she was checking in the next morning.
I will do online check-in again this trip.
