My family is checking in on Sept. 25th for 6 nts. at the Beach Club Resort (our first time staying here!). I noticed on my reservation sheet that Disney mailed to me that since we are all on the free dining; all members must be present at time of check-in (which I totally understand to keep non-existent members being added to the plan just to get more dining credits). My special situation is that our 16 year nephew will be flying to Orlando and meeting us on the day of check-in. Myself, husband, and 3 yr. old son will arrive early that morning and wish to check-in so we can use the pool and etc. while waiting on Derek to arrive. If I explain my special situation do you think Disney will go ahead and let us check in (maybe send my nephew to the desk to register in person upon his arrival to prove that he is a "real" person). On the reservation paper, it states that reservations will be modified if individuals are not present at time of check-in. ?!?!
