A few hours ago I spilled some water on the keyboard of my MacBook Pro. I immediately shut it down and turned it over to let it dry + wiped it down but I’m obviously still concerned about potential damage. I want to take it to the Genius Bar to see if there’s any significant damage but I’m not sure how long I should wait before doing so. Should I go as soon as possible? Or should I wait a few days and let the laptop dry out first before going?
There is no way to know the details.. how much water, where it entered, components effected...etc
I can say typically things get worse not better.

If you have AppleCare+ it will cover a large portion of accidental damage.
https://www.apple.com/support/products/mac.html
AppleCare+ (similar for iPhone and iPad, each incident of accidental damage) for Mac will carry its own price tag. Screen damage or “external enclosure damage” will run $99 per incident, while other damage, including water damage, will run $299. Users receive coverage of two incidents under AppleCare+, and after the two incidents have been used up, out-of-warranty replacement rates will apply
