You don't HAVE to print them, because they can just as easily print them at the desk when you physically hand your luggage in.

We certainly didn't bother - and you can't print your own for the return flight anyway!

bootytooTy8, Did you book direct with Virgin Atlantic? If you did you can check-in online using the Booking Reference you will have got a the time of booking. You can print off the Boarding Pass and this does save a little while, if you don't have this you do need to take the flight confirmation with you (it is a good idea to print 2 copies so you have 1 in Orlando for the return). If you have access to the internet in Orlando you can checkin online there as well. You may also want to consider the Virgin Valet service in Downtown Disney (next to Cirque du Soleil) where you can checkin and drop your bags on the morning of your departure (it costs $10 per person).

You can only checkin online from 24hrs of the flight's departure time.

If you booked with Virgin Holidays you need to contact them for the reference to checkin online. The DTD facility is free to Virgin Holidays customers.

Hi Thanks everyone for speedy replies I booked through a agent but with have recieved hard tickets . I just wondered if any one had picked their seats b 4 hand? We are flying from Manchester . So I thought it might save a little timeby booking on line.
Last time we visited Florida 2006 we did use Virgin Downtown Disney drop off but it was free i am sure ther was no charge.

Ah, you can only actually choose your seats if you book through Virgin. We were totally unable to, although we were able to change the seats at DTD.

DTD check-in used to be free for all, but is now only free for Virgin Holidays customers.

But believe me, as you have your tickets, it really only will take them a minute to print them out at the airport - something they do while printing off your luggage labels.
