What is Online Check-In????????

[firsttimerw2]

We leave for the world in 3 weeks -- i have been seeing all this on-line check in talk, but dont understand what it is or how i do it .... we are staying at the all star movies. What site do i do the online check-in at and do you recommend it??? Very confused???

Basically tou just tell them what credit card you are paying with and confirm all the guests names so when you arrive your packet is all printed and ready to go. There is an express line to pick them up.

The only real advantage is no long lines at check in.
You do it on the Disney World website and you need to register.

As mentioned above it is a time saver for you when you arrive. We used it and everything was already made up for us and ready to go.

Would you forfeit any opportunity to discuss room assignment or location by using this?

Is online check in only available if you made a reservation directly with WDW and not Dreams Unlimited?

If you want to change rooms you would most likely need to take your packet to the regular line unless it's not busy, you may be able to do it there.

Anyone with a reservation number can do it no mater how they booked it.

No, I was able to discuss possibly changing our room, actually upgrading to CL when we checked in, but there were no CL rooms available. We checked in online and were at AKL. It was not an extremely busy time when we checked in though, so if it is much busier that may or may not be an option.

Nope, we used Mousesavers.com and were able to check in online.
