Question Online Check-in

What kind of preference options do they give you if you do online check-in? I also guess that if you do online check-in that will do away with any change of having a magical upgrade??

Please let me know how this works...

Thanks!

If you do on-line check-in, your limited as to what "special requests" that you can make. There is a drop down menu with very limited choices. I would suggest sending a fax a few days before your arrival to make any room requests.

I believe that you could still get the magic of an upgrade, etc. I think you're just basically moving the paperwork along, so that once you arrive - there's less to worry about.

Personally I think it may lessen the chances (not totally do away with) of that magical upgrade, but this is just my opinion, not based on fact.
As for requests, those should be noted on your reservation, and a fax 5 days out can't hurt. Good luck with however you are checking in!

The only options I noticed for "requests" when I checked in online on Sunday were:

Pack and Play
First floor
Near transportation

I don't think it has anything to do with whether or not you get an upgrade, though. I guess we'll see as time goes on though!

When I checked in online last summer, I do not remember having the opportunity to make any special requests. I think the only option they gave you was a pack and play.

I just did online check in and the special requests does not offer any choices for the Tree house villa's and member services said there really is not anything to offer. If you have 2 reservation numbers you have to online check in each one separately.
