Southwest Question

[DISNEYFIX]

So for those 7 am departures what do we do? Have to wait until MK opens at least, I guess.

Have someone you know do it, back home maybe?

Yes, thought about that. But as far as getting a printout that wouldn't be totally necessary?

You can print the boarding passes at the airport even if you have someone check you in somewhere else.

That's a GREAT idea. Now, since I have a 10:35am EST return flight back to CA...do "my people" on the west coast check me in at 7:35am PST or do they have to wait 3 hours until 10:35am PST to meet the 24 hour rule?

Or...am I just waaaaay overthinking this? Yes, I think I am!

Good to know! Thanks!

Check-in for a flight begins 24 hours prior to the flight's scheduled departure. So "your people" need to check you in at 7:35am PST for your 10:35 EST flight. Just remember, they will need your confirmation number and the name on the credit card used to purchase the tickets. They can't check you in without BOTH pieces of information. Once they've checked you in, the only thing you have to do is have your boarding passes printed when you check in your luggage. You will need your confirmation number then as well.

Another idea, if someone at home can check in for you, you can check in and just print your boarding passes at the airport so you don't have to keep track of them at the park or hotel. Actually, it will also work if you check in 24 hours ahead of time at Disney and print them at the airport.
