Online or Not online???

I have had seats reserved in PE for flights in August to MCO from MAN in the bubble / upstairs

Have heard a few people have had problems with online check-in particularly with children and have not been able to get the seats they wanted and have been dumped downstairs. We are 2 adults and 2 kids. Has anybody else succesfully reserved seats and then checked in a family of 4 with and aisle between the two seats. Fr example us all sitting in row 79.

What would you do then guys??? Do online and hope it works or get to the airport early to ensure our best choice of seat and to hopefully make sure we get upstairs

I have never used online check-in, I like eye ball contact,just get there early.

We had 79 H&K and 80 H&K pre-asigned for our flights last year. 2 adults and 2 kids. Used OLCI outbound no problems. Left it a bit late arriving at the airport inbound and had been moved to 70 and 71 which were too close to the WC's for my liking.
Have same seats for later this year and intend to use OLCI each way, or DTD for the return. I don't own a laptop and there aren't many public internet PC's at WDW.
Really liked the seats BTW. We felt 'tucked away' at the back and so more relaxed that the kids wouldn't bother anyone.
Hope you have a good trip.

Thanks, that has put my mind at rest.

Just had a few friends who have reserved seats and then at online check-in, it has only brought up the adults and not the kids and given them completely different seats.

I know nothing is guaranteed, but I would much rather be in the 'bubble' than downstairs and the stories of online check-in problems (particularly with kids) was making me panic slightly.
