virgin online checkin questions

[anthony2k7]

have a couple of online checkin questions...!

1. if i check in online, can i then still get a proper (purple for UC?) boarding pass at the airport (LGW)? also do we get proper vouchers for entry into the lounge? and fast pass security stickers?

2. how can i do online check in for the return flight - we'll be staying AKL club level. are there computers we can use somewhere?

We have managed to do this at the Guest Services desk when staying in Saraotga Springs Resort, but I think it was only because they were quiet at the time I asked, and not something they can always do. Whilst grateful, I did feel out of control of the situation as the screen was behind the GS desk so I couldn't see the seat choice, just had to ask the CM to check things for me.

As I understand it, the only PCs availabe are in the resorts used for conferences (Coronado Springs, Dolphin?). However, I have wondered about asking at the airline check-in desk where the bags are dropped for Magical Exress. I don't know if they can/will do any other check-ins, but it would be interesting to find out!

I've got them to do online check in for me at OKW quite a few times and they are happy to do it, although I do agree with Hilary's point about feeling out of control of the situation.

On one occasion I gave all the information to DS back in the UK because I knew I had a dinner reservation when the online check in opened, and he did it all and sent me a text to confirm

Although they do print out boarding cards for you at Disney, it is not essential to have them and I almost feel they don't expect it at check in. After all, so many people travel with a laptop but not with a printer.

Yes, we always have. You usually just get one 'invitation' to the Clubhouse which covers all members of your party. Never noticed whether you get stickers but you're eligible to use fast track so you just go through that gate...

We've never thought to use online check-in for the return leg and have always received our original choice of pre-booked seat. Last time we didn't even bother with DTD check-in and just went to MCO 3 hours prior to departure - still received our choice of seats...
