Resort check-in question

[hodad]

Please let me know if this won't work. Three people. One flies in to MCO and takes Magical Express to the resort. I will have already checked-in online, so this person will head to the counter, get the info packet and room number, then head to the room. Later in the evening, I'll drive up from Miami with a sleeping kid in the backseat, and I can bypass the check-in counter and head straight to the room.

Am I missing something?

Thanks!

Yes but don't forget the kid in the back seat. JK
You aren't missing a thing.
I'll check in and my husband will be off with the kids getting lunch, he doesn't need to do anything. Same scenario you'll just be in Miami

They may not need to go to the counter. I got a text with my room # when I was on DME last month and went straight to the room. Didn't get an info folder. I didn't need one, I guess I could have stopped and asked for it.

I think our flier would probably appreciate a face-to-face welcome and some information to take to the hotel room. She can still get that if I've already checked in online, right?

They might not really have anything to give you, but I'm sure that they would give a map of the resort if nothing else (stuff may already be in your room).

When I travel with my mom, she often arrives before me and I would never send her to the room without checking in the lobby first (Well, I would, but I doubt she will do so).

Just make sure her name is on the reservation somewhere (if she's on MDE and she's getting a magic band and stuff, she should be on there). BUT, will she already have her magic band to get into the room (she won't need it, they could give her a keycard)? Also it's easier to take ME with a magic band because they just scan it and send you on your way (rather than having to stop at the desk, which she may have to do otherwise).

Yes, she can. When she gets off the bus she will see Cast Members greeting them. She can can just tell a cast member that online check in is already done and she'd like to get some resort information. This is if the room is even ready. The room might not be ready until a bit later.
