So I'm currently booked from 2/7 - 2/13 at Pop Century with the 4+3 deal (in this case it's 4+2, but whatev,) bringing my 12 year old nephew for the first time. While planning the days, I quickly realized this is not enough time. So I'm attempting to add two days to the beginning of the trip but have been having ZERO luck getting a discount at a resort I want. And I want a discount because I'm cheap 
After days of searching, I finally got to book my third choice of Coronado from 2/5 - 2/7 through AAA.
So our first day we're going to spend hanging around the resort, probably mostly swimming then head to DTD for dinner. Day 2, we're going to Blizzard Beach and maybe DTD again in the evening (he wants to try T-Rex and Rainforest,) then the next day we'll switch resorts and head to the parks.
Now here are the questions.
We'll be flying in on Southwest (actually I have a question about that too) and using DME. So when I set up DME online will it ask which resort to drop us off at/pick us up at separately? Or should I call to inform them so they know? Or will they even do this? (I'm assuming this happens all the time and they'll know what to do.)
Now the day we switch resorts, we won't have park tickets until we check in at Pop. Hooowwww do we do this then? It's not like we can have Disney transport our luggage while we're in a park and then check in that evening. Will they provide us with transportation to Pop or should I get a cab rather than bus hopping? I know we can head over there early and leave our luggage with the hotel since the room probably won't be ready, but how do we get there?
And I think this is my last question (for now): Has anyone used the mobile online check in for Southwest on their phone? I've only flown SW once by myself, so I didn't care where I sat, but I want to be able to sit with Ri this time. If I check in on my phone 24 hours before, do they print my boarding pass for me at the airport when we check our luggage? Or should I try to ask the concierge at Pop to do it for me?
Okay that was lengthy. :wave:
