Please help me understand this...

Flying SW in March and purchased EBCI. Do we need to print our boarding passes before we head to Midway? I know SW does online checkin at 36 hours but I'm confused about the boarding passes. It has been 10 years since we've been on an airplane!!! And how do we get the boarding passes for the return flight? We are staying at POP. Any advice is appreciated...THANK YOU

You can print them before you go or print them at the airport - it doesn't really matter, unless you're hoping to save time at the airport. Guest services at your resort or at the parks will print boarding passes for you, too.

Printing your BPs in advance (you can do it starting at the 24 hour mark) will allow you to go straight to security if you are using only carry-on bags or can help make the airport baggage check-in process easier at many airports.

On the way home if you plan on using Resort Airline Check-in there's no reason to go to guest services to get your BPs as RAC can provide them. In some circumstances you may even get your BPs on your door with your DME return info the day before your departure.

I like to print my boarding pass at home because I just feel better having it before I go to the airport And that way I can avoid having to go through check in lines at the airport and head right to security

If you decide to print the boarding pass at the airport, there are no check-in lines to wait in, unless you are planning on checking baggage. You can go to a self-service kiosk and print it. There are usually kiosks away from the baggage check area to avoid this specific issue.
