Do they force you to go to checkin? Or would online checkin and MagicBands allow you to be driven right to your room building?
Thanks! Only River and Pool are available with the Passholder Discount. I went ahead and emailed my TA and requested River as it was slightly less. I decided I'd rather have a little bit of a walk late at night and know that the food court is fully operational than be closer but not necessarily be able to eat at the food court due to a limited menu.

No one will force you to go to checkin. You can check in on line and use your Magic Band to get into the room. You will get a text when your room is ready with the room number. You will not be driven right to your room building. If you are using Magical Express you will be dropped off at the lobby and walk to your room building. If you are driving you will park in the lot and walk to your room building.Do they force you to go to checkin?

Of course you aren't forced to go to check in. Not sure there's anything at Disney that you are ever forced to do.Do they force you to go to checkin? Or would online checkin and MagicBands allow you to be driven right to your room building?
When room request portion was working, yes. Now that it's not, no, not really. If you aren't flying and not using ME, then it gives you an opportunity to inform them of what time you are arriving but that's it. Now that the room request portion is not working you can't even let them know you want a room ready early, if you do.Is there any point in doing online check in if we have to go to the desk to pick up our magic bands? Will it make our check in quicker?
All officially changed - just heard back from my TA! POFQ River View!!
That's what we've got as well, maybe we'll be neighbours We've never stayed in a river view room before, but as there was originally no availability when we booked, we just snatched what we could when we found an available room at POFQ.
Have an awesome stay! Soon you will see why it's the favorite choice of so many...
As you can see, this is a pretty compact resort. From what I've read here, even building 7 is not a long walk. But you can see, on this map from page 1 of this thread, which buildings are closest to the lobby.I am going to be a solo female traveler. I have booked the standard view room. What building would you recommend I request. I don’t expect any type of view with standard, but I would like to be close to the main building and buses.
