Disney's Online Check-In

Scheduled to begin January 2009, Walt Disney World Resort will introduce Disney's Online Check-In service. This new service will allow you to register and check-in to your Resort hotel from the convenience of your own home or business. Designed to simplify arrivals, this service will be available to Guests of select Walt Disney World Resort hotels and Disney Vacation Club resorts in operation as of December 2008. Disney Vacation Club Members will be able to participate in Disney's Online Check-In service through a link on this Web site.

Those who take advantage of Disney's Online Check-In service will be able to login and complete your resort check-in beginning 10 days prior to your scheduled arrival date. You will also be able to review your reservation, add room requests and enter information about special occasions you are celebrating during your visit.

Upon arrival, Key to the World cards and other registration materials will be waiting for you at a special welcome location where Cast Members will be available to provide additional information and answer questions. While we always strive to provide ready rooms for Members, this service does not guarantee guest rooms will be ready upon arrival at the Resort. However, rooms will continue to be available at standard check-in time

I like the sound of this in principle but I'm not convinced it will necessarily save time on arrival.

I suspect the designated desk for those who have checked in online will have queues just the same as the regular check in desks, especially as it mentions that "Cast Members will be available to provide additional information and answer questions".

I look forward to being proved wrong!

(Maybe I'm just feeling grumpy because I a DVC trip doesn't feature in our plans for 2009! )
