Possibly a dumb SW question

[Zippa D Doodah]

We (2 adults; kids 10 and 7) will be flying SW in January. Having flown SW before I am familiar with the "ABC pass" drill. One catch this time -I bought us a package from SW Vacations. On my confirmation email it says:

"Please note, this reservation is NOT ticketless and is NOT available for
online check-in. You must show your paper tickets at the airline Ticket
Counter or Skycap Podium (at select locations) to checkin and obtain your
boarding pass. Boarding passes can now be issued 24 hours prior to flight
time at the Ticket Counter."

So am I to get boarding passes on-line as I did before? The last sentence would seem to say so, but the preceding sentence in the above paragraph seems to say differently. Anyone with SW Vacation experience?

(FWIW, they had a super deal -$400+ cheaper than any other way I could have done it)

Unfortunately, the SW vacation package hidden problem is that you don't get an electronic ticket and you can't check in online as a result. The only way to check in 24 hours in advance is to actually go to the airport and get your boarding passes. Sorry!

YES we have used SWV a few time for Non-Disney trips and yes that is really the only drawback to the entire thing.
Just get to the airport as early as possible and hope for the best .

Thanks for the replies...

I was hoping it was a dumb question. Well, the four of us will get to the airport a bit earlier and see what happens. If we don't at least get two sets of two seats side-by-side I pity the people that have to sit next to my kids.

So the good news is I save money, but the bad news is I cannot "do the right thing" and get an early boarding pass.
