Does using express check-in really make much of a difference upon arrival? And, should we make our room requests while doing express check-in?

We've always found Desire check in to be pretty quick anyway, but yes
the advance express checkin does save you 5 or 10 minutes- so
why not ?
And yes you can make you room requests at that time- just be sure to do the advance checkin a full two weeks ahead of arrival. They work on assigning the rooms in that 1 to 2 week window before the week of your stay.

...but what happens if you do early check-in and for some reason you do not arrive when expected (ex - airline delays, weather, emergency) won't that just screw with your chance of changing your reservation? OY, I hope I just didn't curse myself.

We used the express check-in for our visit this past July and it seemed to work fine. I'm not sure it saved much time but we did get the room that we requested.
rick&dee...Desire is usually booked 100% so I doubt that a last minute change would work whether or not express check-in was used.

Well I was just wondering because last time we were there, a couple over slept, MISSED THEIR PLANE, and came a day later, and then arranged to leave a day later. Still trying to figure out how you over sleep when you know that, within hours, you will be AT DESIRE!

The only way one can oversleep prior to a trip at desire is if it is your first trip and you don't know what to look forward to......jacuzzi, claudia, beach, pool, playroom.......

....or you can be so terrified of flying that you can't sleep for nights before......
