Question

Answer 1

Hi Katherine,

No worries! I suggest that you plan on arriving at the bag check by 8:45 A.M. Now be sure to take a good look at all of the open lines at the baggage check area. Each of the tables that has a security cast member will process guests at BOTH sides of the table in an alternating fashion. In other words, if your family all lines up in one line, it will take twice as long because the security cast member will inspect the first person's bag, and then go to the person on the other side of the table before returning to the person behind you. So with a large group splitting up into various lines is the quickest way to get through.

Once through security, there will be turnstiles open at the far right hand side of the entrance for guests with dining reservations. You should have no problems entering even if it is a few minutes before nine.

Hope this helps, have a great time!
