Online Check in for WDW

[cruisehopeful]

I'm not used to anything WDW. I see on the App that I can check in for my August stay. I haven't done it because that's months away. Do people actually check in that far in advance? Is there any reason to do it that far out? I'm going to arrive late in the day. I have another stay a few days later that I will arrive very early to. Is early arrival a reason to check in months in advance?

The only reason to check in this early is for your ease of mind, it's already done. It's likely that nobody at Disney will look at your reservation for assigning a villa until closer to a few weeks before your arrival date.

I do it early just to know I completed it.

Related question, but did the room request options go away? I know there used to be some rudimentary ones like high floor etc but I don't even see those now.

I just did online check in and I had options for the Polynesian. I chose high floor. It also showed me building options, but I didn't choose one (yet).

I also checked in for Beach club and it didn't give me any options at all.
