I haven't done online checkin yet - I guess because I like talking to someone when I check in (sorry PP lol). My guess is that resorts like PoP where all the rooms are now renovated and I don't care which section I'm in then I'd be fine doing online check in. For some resorts like CSR where you may want to be closer to this or that - there's a lot of variation on where you could end up even in a standard view room so I definitely like going to the desk. Also if the resort is being renovated I like to try to get a new room (if they are the same category I booked). I've only ever gotten one upgrade ever - didn't ask for it - at AKL about a million years ago - to savannah view. I'd bet there is not a downside to online check in however - if you don't like the room you can still get in line and try to switch areas (or on the phone).
