(Mods please move! My browser zigged out of the AP thread while I was posting...)
We have non-activated APs, arrive later this month on a room-only AP discount, have done online check-in (which I'm thinking we should not have done), and are not doing a park day on our arrival day. I called VIPassholder Support and they told us to head to Guest Relations on arrival day to activate and get our physical passes (as a supplement to our MagicMobile versions) so that we can get dining and merch discounts on arrival day. My question is, how does check-in work when you're activating your APs on arrival day? In the before times, that didn't present a problem, we were just asked to present our activated APs before the end of the day at the front desk. However a previous poster says checking in before your APs are activated will revert your rate to rack. Can anyone clarify? (If it matters, and I don't know why it would, we're staying club level at Coronado.) Many thanks!
