    Staying at the Boardwalk Inn, did online checkin already, how much time should I allocate to the checkin process/luggage storage? We arrive around 8:30am & want to hit HS for Slinky Dog Dash & of course couldn't get fp so worried about lines.

    Hey there, Samantha!

    Using My Disney Experience to do online check-in has saved my family so much time. I love that we can get to Walt Disney World and pretty much begin the magic right away.

    If you included a phone number or email address doing online check-in, your resort will contact you directly when your resort room is ready. They will even send you the room number, so as long as you have your MagicBands, you won't even have to stop at the front desk. You can go right to your resort room.

    Now, if you want to check luggage prior to running to the park, you can head to your resort, and drop your bags off with bell services. I'd give yourself about 10 minutes to do that.

    If it doesn't work out that you get to Toy Story Land first thing in the morning, try to hit it right before the park closes at night. I have found that if you go right at the end of the evening, the lines are a bit shorter and they seem to move faster. I've had great luck with this method so far.

    Have an absolutely amazing visit, Samantha!
