PS at Cindy's arrival day- will this work??

[HaleyB]

I was able to get PS for CRT for two days, which is great, but neither one is ideal...
My first PS is for 9:40 on the day we 'arrive'- we are staying at HIFS the night before our dream maker package starts, so we are in the area. Still we will need to check out of HIFS, check in at PC, and make it to the MK... is this possible? is this insane to try? We will have our car, which I think helps... but still that seems like a lot to get done by 9:40!
Or second choice is for 8:10 the next day, which is an early entry day for the MK. We would miss out on all the extra morning time...

I am calling all the time trying to get either day at a later time, but I seriously doubt I will be able to...

Do you have to check in at Pop to get your tickets? If not, I would save that until later in the day. Your room is not likely to be ready, so there's really no need to do it. When we stay off-site the first night, we go straight to a park. We check in at the Disney resort during our afternoon break.

If you do have to check in at Pop, then leave the HI about 7:30 a.m. and go straight to Pop. After you've checked in, take the bus to the MK. You should arrive in plenty of time..

another thing is, do you need to physically check out at HIFS? I know most places I've stayed (disney and elsewhere) have some form of express checkout, but I think it's only if you are using a credit card, which I don't know if you are. You could also probably 'settle up' the night before if you are paying cash/other form and just leave your keys in the room that morning or drop them off at the desk so you wouldn't have to wait in line.
Another time saver would be to pack up the car the night before and keep just an overnight bag in the room to pack up the rest in the morning.
Whatever you decide, congrats on getting Cindy's and enjoy!

i think you can techincally "check-in" at PC at 12:01 am, you can't get your room, but you can get you tickets. It's an idea, send one person over the night before then it is one less thing to do in the morning. Or instead of staying that one night at HIFS bite the bullet and book an extra night at PC w/out the dreammaker

I would call the front desk and ask about this. I don't believe you can check-in before 6:00 or 7:00am.

You should have plenty of time if you get to Pop by 8:00. There should not be many check-ins at that time. Get on the bus to MK by 8:40, it takes you right to gate, you would have plenty of time.

Seems like too much juggling around on that first day. I would stick to the second even if it means missing EM. You are sooo lucky to get it once in a trip let alone twice.
