Enter your email address and password to create your Disney account (I'm shocked you don't have one yet!) then it has a place for my reservations. Type in your ressie # and it will add the trip to your account.. Complete with a countdown in the top right corner! It shows all the details about your trip, adr info, I'm sure it would even show the tours you have scheduled. Within 10 days of your trip, which we are at now, it will give you a link saying that you can check in online. Click that and just verify your info. Once you complete it, you can go to the "express" online check-in line at All Star. When you check in you just flash your I'd and they hand you your packet. No delays and no long waits. It makes a HUGE difference at the Value resorts.

Seeing that countdown is worth it! It helps with the antici....pation of the trip.
I've got a Disney account...hmmm, I'll try again :?
I don't see a place to put in a reservation number...help!

Once you log in it should give you an option at the top that says My Reservations. If not, go to Walt Disney World, then it should appear.

Thanks ~ I'll try again...
EDIT: Yay! It finally worked. But I think I will call them tomorrow before I do the check-in. It doesn't have a few of the things I requested for the room and I want to be sure they are still working on those things.

Success! I found it online, called tonight to confirm our special requests, found it online again :roll: and checked in online. I know the requests are only that, and it rarely turns out that they have the room correct when we arrive, but at least I try in advance to get it right. Thanks for the help on checking in online NaCler ~ that should help speed things up so we can get into the parks sooner :D

The only reason I don't check-in online because I like to confirm my special requests upon arrival at the hotel. If I'm doing that, I might as well do the check-in as well...

Yeah, I'm going to do that as well, but this way, if the line is truly awful, and the online check-in line is short, I'll have the option!

ACK! Only 3 days :shock: Almost the whole day yesterday I had to deal with arranging, re-arranging, re-re-arranging, re-re-re...well, you get the idea...my work schedule for the upcoming short work week of only three days. I have decided that not dealing with last minute cancellations/re-schedulings is one of the things I will enjoy most during our two week vacation! That, and not having to drive between 40-90 miles each and every day. I am very much ready to sit back and let Disney do the driving...ahhhhhh :cool:
