    Instead of waiting to check in when you get there, you can check in online. It can save a lot of time if there are long lines. When you arrive, you go to the online check in counter and everything is waiting for you...key to room, park tickets, etc. We did it last trip, and it was great!

    We are staying at the movies resort. Can we request a room in the Toy Story Wing if we do the online check in?

    Yes, you can. You can also have your request added to your reservation through whoever you originally made the reservation through.

    It worked for us in 2010, and I hope to do it again this year. Good luck.

    Just wondering if you arrive early than the standard check-in time -will they allow you to get your key/package if the room is ready?

    We're DVC and usually I can check-in any time ..if the room is ready it's mine, if not then I can usually select which room I prefer and take it at whatever time is convenient after it is ready. Just figuring I might lose that flexibility with the on-line check-in?

    It works much the same way as your DVC stays...If you check in before your room is ready, you can still get your KTTW card(s) with MYW tickets attached....you just won't be given your room number until the room is ready. You can have them text or call you when the room is ready and they will give you the room number, or you can check at the desk when you arrive back at the resort.

    If, after you get your room number, you would like a different room, please go to the main desk or concierge desk to have it changed.

    If you do online check-in, how are the charging privileges handled? Are all the card set up with privileges, just one, none? Or is this something you specify when you do the online check in?

    You can specify if you would like to enable charging on your card. You can do this from the online check-in website.

    Finn, we did on-line check-in for the first time last October. It went perfectly well. When we arrived, both the on-line check-in line and the normal line were equally long. But the on-line check-in line went very quick.

    Just did online checkin last night - it was easy on line, but I did not like that the requests were limited to just "Near Transporation" or "Need Pac-n-play". I had thought you would be able to type any request in, and that was NOT my experience last night.

    Also, had a name misspelled, and I could not correct that spelling - no big deal, but I think it would be nice to make corrections.
