Mikeypro 32 Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 I am driving down from Atlanta on Saturday the 8th of November and spending saturday night at the Hampton close to Downtown Disney. For some reason, couldn't check in to the Fort on the 8th. So...what is the best time to check in on Sunday the 9th? I am an early riser (5am - it is a curse...), and will not be going to the parks on Sunday. Should I get there early, or take my time and get there later? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy and Grandma 739 Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Since Sunday is usually a busy "check out" day I personally would wait. You should have a better selection of sites closer to noon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 You can ccheck in any time after 6. If your site isn't ready, you could spend some time scoping out sites to see what is available. Also, on Sunday there are LOTS of checkouts Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You should have a better selection of sites closer to noon.That is kinda what I thought...but I was a bit concerned that if I waited until noon I would be in a line of folks checking in at the same time. Is Sunday a big check-in day? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 We've checked in as early as 6:30am. Unloaded the golf cart and went to scope out sites. Went back to the outpost and requested sites. It has worked out well for us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 They assign sites about 5 days out, subject to change right up until someone actually occupies the site. So if the site you are assigned doesn't meet your needs, you can check out other sites in your category and if it isn't specifically blocked, they'll usually let you switch.

Mikeypro 32 Posted September 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Thanks to everyone. I think I will check in early and ride the bike around if a site isn't ready. I'll be there until the 23rd - hopefully I will meet some other fiends. Ya'll are a hoot! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
