What Day do you usually arrive?

[bkfree]

What day of the week did your last or your upcoming trip begin on?

We are going Wed. to Wed in December and wondering what the checkin around 4pm will be like. Our plane lands at 3pm and we will be using ME.

Last trip we checked in at 9am on a Sat. at YC and we were the only ones checking in at the time.
Wondering what to expect.
We will be arriving on Dec 3 at AKL.

[Crazy4Disney06]

This year we check into CBR on Sunday. Last year we check into POP on Tuesday.

 

[Jasminetigger]

We check-in tomorrow, Wednesday. Never checked in on a Wednesday before. Usually always arrive on a Friday. Can't wait to get to the YC. I don't care what day it is.

 

[PrincessKsMom]

Saturday or Sunday, but usually Saturday.

 

[proteus]

Always on Saturday, never had a real line when checking in, usually 1-2 groups in front of us.

 

[lustergirl]

[DizzDoll]

This year it's Thursday for us. Three more weeks to go!!!

 

[iScrap]

We're checking in on a Monday for this trip. DH has to work on Saturday and we thought we'd save a bit of money by waiting until Monday to leave.

 

[Terk-1]

I usually arrive on a Friday, giving me 2 full weekends at WDW.

This year's trip, I am arriving on Sunday, as my brother is coming to visit for Thanksgiving and is going home on Sunday.

 

[grimley1968]

Usually Saturday for us. I'd love to check-in midweek sometime. It would be awesome to have a shorter wait for that process.

 

[tavettava]

Both times we have arrived Monday morning

 

[jimmalru80]

It's usually Wednesday for us.

We always arrive on a Sunday. My DH likes a day to rest up from the work week before we leave b/c we always leave on the first flight out from DFW to MCO. We've never had a long wait. When we checked into the CBR in March 2004, I think there were 3 families in front of us. Then when we checked into the WL in October 2006, we were able to walk right up to the counter without any wait. Also for some reason (whether a real fact or imagined) DH and I have it in our heads that more people leave WDW on Sunday, and would have a better chance of getting a room we wanted. Like I said, it may just be something that we have imagined, but it has worked for us so far.

[jeffbear]

In recent years I've started to book acation weeks from Friday to Friday to allow for some decompression time upon returning home. I've found this schedule to be very helpful in avoiding going back to work still strung out from travelling.

 

[jnzimm]

Our flight usually lands around 12:00 noon we check in and do downtown disney and eat there. Hang @ the pool and hit the parks on Sun. we leave the following Sat. Our thinking is a little less time being there on the weekends when the parks are busy.

 

[joenan88]

We are arriving on Friday 08/15 because my son's birthday is on 08/16 (sat)..I didn't want him to miss celebrating his birthday in Disney. When we went in November we arrived on a Saturday..thats usually the day we travel.

 

[goodferry]

We usually arrive on a Thursday, the flights are usually cheaper

 

[MelanieC]

We arrive on a Friday and leave on a Sunday. We end up with 2 full weekends and a full Saturday.
