Online Check-In: Yes or No?

[AvonleaCF]

Well I've hit the 45 day mark and my package is paid in full.

Now to do the online check-in, or wait to do it in person? Any thoughts? I've never done it before (I don't think it was available my last trip, or if it was, I had no idea about it cause my sister organized everything). I should be arriving via ME around 2:40-3pm (flight lands at MCO at 1:40pm).

Wendy from MJ added my room requests to my package, so if I do online check-in, will I be okay? Or best to wait? My requests are "nice to haves," but certainly not mandatory for me to enjoy my vacation. Going solo so I'm not picky (my requests were fridge, full balcony, and a quiet room).

Thanks!

It's really just a matter of what works best for you. If you've never done it, maybe try it. The convenience is that you have your credit card on record in advance, so you just pick up your packet and everything is done. The downside is that sometimes the line for online check in is actually longer than the regular line (and sometimes the reverse).

We have done the online check in the last 2 or 3 trips and found that we had little or no wait getting our room. They have their own station just for online check in.

I think it is worth while, but that is just me. I am sure that we will be doing it when we go down in December.

Hope this helps...

When you do online check in, I noticed it wants your credit card info. I didn't see a place to check off that you didn't want charging privilages though... Anyone know anything about that?

I'm in the same boat as the OP, not sure if I should do online check in or not. The credit card thing scares me as I don't want things charged back to the room.

Even if you don't want to charge things to your room, don't they need a card number at check-in? I haven't been to a hotel or resort that doesn't request a card number for incidentals or just in case, though I know Disney does things differently sometimes. You always have the option not to charge things to your room, even if you provide a number.

If you have specific, needed request, then wait. By the looks of your room request, you'll probably be fine on-line. You'll breeze past the line and simply pick up your packet! Enjoy your trip!
