72.0. "What's the first thing you do???" by EUCLID::OWEN (In a Locst wind coms a RATTLE AND HUM) Thu Apr 06 1989 12:29

    When you head down to Disney World, what's the very first thing
    you do.  You've checked in, unpacked, and now it's your time!
    
    Do you...
    -Head Straight for the Pool
    -Go hop on Space Mountain
    -Eat (and where)
    -Shop 
    -Go to Spaceship Earth
    -Grab a Beer in Germany
    
    What?

72.1got to start that tan of courseATE012::CLAUDEClaude G. BerubeThu Apr 06 1989 13:1412
    Well, on my last 2 trip's we  stayed  at  Disney,  and they have a 4:00
    checking time that  they  pretty much adhere too.  You can pre-check in
    and get you ID's  etc and leave your luggage in storage if need be.  So
    on my last trip we  arrived  around  2:00  at  the  Disney Inn, did the
    pre-check in, put the bags in storage and headed for  the  pool/bar  to
    relax from the flight for a few hours and start on that golden tan ;^),
    around 4:15  we  got  the  room  key  and quickly unpacked, went to the
    Garden Gallery Restaurant  at the Disney Inn for supper, then headed in
    to the MK, to  catch  a  few  rides,  the Electric Light parade and the
    fireworks, since they wore open till midnight.

72.2Pre-Check in time????ENGINE::CASEYThat old hoot owl is calling...Thu Apr 06 1989 14:3315
    
    	re -1
    
    	I didn't know that they had a pre-check in at the Disney Resorts.
    	I wouldn't know because I have never stayed there.  Do you know
    	what time you can pre-check in???  I know that check-in time
    	at the Contemporary is 3:00 - so if we wanted to hit the park
    	first thing in the morning, we could pre-check into the Contemp.
    	head for the MK and then go back to the hotel at 3:00 for 
    	check-in????

    Laura,
    
    Pre-Check in  is  for same day arrivals, so if you arrived around 10 in
    the morning you  can  precheck  in,  and  if  for say your on the World
    Vacation plan which is  like  4  night  5  days use etc.  head into the
    parks and start making use of the plan.

    Laura,
    
    Since you  have the 4 day pass, get there early on arrival, to make the
    most of it, if  you can.  Otherwise you might want to do something else
    so as to not waste  a  day on the pass, like head over to River COuntry
    or something.

72.7Sulfer, here I come!EUCLID::OWENIn a Locst wind coms a RATTLE AND HUMThu Apr 06 1989 23:456
    Hell no!  That was just theoretical.
    
    I think when I get down there, I'm gonna head straight for the Mexico
    pavilian and grab a burrito and then go hop on the Universe of Energy!

72.81ST THINGWAV12::NEWFELLThu Jul 06 1989 13:376
    I go straight to WDW Village and grab a drink on the Empress Lily
    in the Baton Rogue Lounge.  I listen to the entertainment for an
    hour or so and then walk around the shops.  This atmosphere could
    put anyone in the Disney spirit.  We usually go to bed early so
    we can start the next day full day in the Magic Kingdom. 
    
72.9Off to the MKCUPMK::JETTETue Aug 27 1991 13:046
    We always try to arrive in Orlando by 10:00 or 11:00am.  Then we
    pre-check in, get our tix and it's off to the Magic Kingdom!
    Seems I never get around to unpacking till the next morning.
