[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is checking in at resorts so awful? It's frustrating to pay so much money and then spend 15+ minutes standing in line after hours of traveling. And then the actual check in process takes like 20 minutes while trying to keep our little kids calm. When we stay at regular hotels we can do online check in with the click of a button and go straight to our rooms.[/quote]

WDW really has it down now. We do online check in, and they text us the room number and we can use our phone app to get in the room. We skip the front desk totally.[/quote]

Oh have they set this system up since we went this past winter? We were exhausted when we got to Port Orleans and stood in the wrong place in the reception area waiting to check in, nobody acknowledged us then a long line formed and we had to go to the back of that. 4yo DD was tired and hungry. Fun times.[/quote]

We used it last month. But also 18 months ago and during COVID.

It was a breeze. But we did the pre check on on the Disney app.[/quote]

Not an option at Port Orleans[/quote]

Yes it is. Just Google it. You link everything up in the Disney World app.

[/quote]yeah we had the app. It wasn't an option for us, or for the long line of people waiting at the front desk. And we definitely take advantage of online check in when it's available. So my experience is not that WDW is on top of this at all. [/quote]

Why wasn’t it available? Was this many years ago?[/quote]

It was last year. Is it that hard for you to imagine that an app might say you have to go to the front desk to check in? Have you every even been to Port Orleans?[/quote]

Do you really think this was a specific Port Orleans problem? Or perhaps an app glitch? Or issue with your particular room or something else? You made a blanked statement that at this hotel its not an option which is false.[/quote]

I definitely got the impression it wasn't available. Why do you even care? You've clearly never been there. Are you a Disney employee?[/quote]

Got the impresssion. Ok. Sounds like you had no idea what you were doing. No need to spread misinformation or tell everyone who has been there that they in fact are ones who are wrong.[/quote]

I am the earlier poster, and yes, I agree. Everyone checking in to  a WDW resort should just take the time to understand the app. It really is nice to go right to your room.

Another person who has not been to Port Orleans.

You can "check in online" sure, but then you get there and you have to go to the front desk they have to assign your room to you - in other words you have to check in in person. In other words online check in is not a real check in.[/quote]
