Couldn't find a specific answer in the search so....

I have only used online check in once on my outbound journey last year. Didn't use it on the return journey as I didn't have a printer for the boarding passes. :(

I've read on here that you can bag your seats at online check in and pick up the boarding passes at the airport. :)

Question....given the mele that is Orlando check in, where do I pick up the boarding passes, is it just a matter of queuing up with the masses at check in as usual where they will be issued when handing over luggage??

Also, if I do manage to access a printer, what happens to the luggage then. I have never noticed a dedicated luggage drop at Orlando (usually just a sea of bodies) do they have one, or am I still queueing up regardless. :?

You don't need to print boarding passes to do OLCI, they just print one as normal when you check your luggage in.

At any airport, join the shortest queue, either bag drop or normal economy queue (or PE/UC desk if you are flying that class or hold a FC card that allows use of them).

At MCO there is a bag drop queue, which is in the middle of the Y and PE desks.

Do your OLCI..you might even want to try and bag SEQ 1 and get into to SEQ's Club(oo err missus!) :|
You don't have to print your BP as this can be collected when you drop your bags off.
Not sure about a specific bag drop area at MCO but do OLCI and then you've at least got a seat request in the system. y)

Thank you very much Neil, much appreciated. D

Didn't know you could join any queue, although Orlando tends to be just one long snake where you lose the will to live very quickly anyway.

Certainly worth getting those seats at online check in, I am wondering though if I should hang fire and hope for a free upgrade for the third year running :? You never know, might be lucky again ;)
