So, i had a thought (dangerous I know). Plan is to show up at YC to check in at 7am on the monday our time at WDW starts (we are staying at Disney Springs the two nights before after the drive down from NJ). Check in, leave our stuff in the car and head off to which ever park we are going to first ( no idea of our schedule yet - headache for another day).
This is the way we've done it in the past - maybe we had to check in to have our tickets be active?? What if we skipped checking in and went straight to the parks? I am reticent to check in on the app incase someone decides to be nice to us face to face and not give us the room overlooking the parking lot. Not expecting an upgrade - i only expect to get what i paid for but don't see the computer being nice, and have had nice things happen once when we checked in in person.
too many words, sorry.. if you followed that... what do you think?
1) check in at 7am
or
2) check in after our morning/early afternoon in the park
