We are driving, so planning on going straight to the park check in day. I had asked before about being able to use dining credits check in day and someone told me I needed to physically go to the resort to check in instead of online check in. We are going to try to get boarding passes for ROTR that day, so I don’t really want to mess with that. We’ve switched our meals around and are planning on paying OOP for lunch that day. We’ll drop our bags off at the room when we hop to the second park before dinner. Do I still need to plan on stopping at the front desk to activate the dining plan, or should online check in work since we aren’t planning on using any credits until after 3?
