Online Check In Question

[timandlesley]

I was just checking in online but ran into a snag and need some help/advice. We will be arriving and wanting to pay cash (or use our check/debit card) to pay for our dining plan upon arrival. I do want our key to the world cards to have charging privledges when we are there and want to put a different credit card down for that.
I left the online check in portion with credit card info blank, does that mean when I check in our key to the world cards won't have charging privledges? If I provide my credit/debit card will they charge our dining plan to that? Any help would be much appreciated. Now I'm questioning why I even did online check in since I still need to add charging privledges to our cards and pay for dining upon arrival.
Thanks,
Lesley

You can have charging privileges added to your cards upon arrival and pay for the DDP at that time too. It will just take longer. I don't think charging privileges are assumed when you do online check-in. But your packet should be ready for you and it will speeds things up a little. You're going to DISNEY! Whoop! Have a great time.

If you want to pay for the DDP with something different than what you want for charging, then leave it blank as you did and ask them to re-do your KTTW cards when you get there.

Any card attached to online check in will be charged for the DDP. It happened to me last year when we did online check in and I was planning to use my Disney Rewards to pay.

I got to the resort and they had already billed the CC. I was able to get them to reverse the charge and take the rewards dollars instead, but they told me it could take up to 2 weeks for the credit to appear. I was okay with that but learned my lesson not to enter the card.

I used to attach my card to the KTTW card, but had an issue with it when I was on the DDP (charging the card and not the credits) so now I just order myself Disney Gift Cards through ebates.com and use those or cash throughout the trip to cover our costs.

Good luck!
