Printing SW boarding passes from the PARKS

[Muffy]

Is there a place to print boarding passes from the parks? I will need to checkin and print passes late morning the day before departure. Can you checkin online and then print your passes at the airport and still get A seating?

Yes. Your seating group depends upon when you check in with SWA, not when the passes are printed. Even when checking in from home I prefer to print my passes at the airport as they are on the handily-sized IBM card stock and not a full sheet of paper.

Thanks Marc! I may end up doing that.

I would still like to know if you can checkin and print passes from the PARKS. I really don't want to exit a park and go to the closest resort to do it if I don't have to.

We printed them from the nice CM at the front desk at Boardwalk for our last trip in April. She was very willing to do it for us, no problem.

Yes, I may have to do that. Thanks for the info. I'm still trying to find out if you can checkin and print passes from a PARK though.

I did a mobile check-in from my cell phone in EPCOT. It was very easy. Took less than a minute. Got A passes. Then I printed my passes at the airport.

Related question -- Can you telephone in to check in (and do the actual printing of the boarding pass at the airport)?

It has to be either on-line or through Mobile phone (web). No call in.


As for checking in at the parks I don't think they can do that for you .

Just to clarify how I did it. I added internet access to my phone just for the week we were in WDW. You can then access a special Southwest mobile web site and check in over the phone. It's like text messaging Southwest. I never spoke to a live person. That was the first and only time I used my phone over the internet. I practiced the night before. It was very easy. I literally checked in while walking from Soarin' to Test Track.

You wouldn't happen to have that mobile address still, would you?

It's mobile.southwest.com.

It brings you to a check-in or check flight status page.

Enter your confirmation number and first/last name and it will check all in on the Confirm number.

We did 3 separate ones while walking through BTMRR at 8:00pm at night with no problem and had all A's with very low numbers( When you print your passes it gives you a number in the bottom corner that lets you know what order you checked in we had 1,6,7,9&10 )

A couple of people have reported getting guest services at the parks to check them in. However, I'd like to see a few more reports before i consider this 100% reliable. Also, technically, guest services is outside the park (just closer than any resort).

One thing to keep in mind is that if you are printing your boarding passes at the airport, it doesn't matter who checks you in. Any friend back home can do it for you, so long as they have your name and confirmation number. If you aren't checking bags, it's a bit nicer to have your passes printed before you get to the airport. But if you are checking bags, you might as well have a friend check you in - one less thing for you to worry about while on vacation.
