How do they know you aren't on site at the TTC? You don't show anything to get on the monorail or boat. I'm confused.

I agree! Thank you, OP. I'm sorry you had a terrible time but I will definitely learn from you and from this discussion. We have always stayed onsite but that may change sometime - - and I would never have thought about any of this before!Wow, some people need to cut her some slack. This is her first trip! I always stay onsite, but I'm not sure I would have realized this either. I definitely would not have known that they wouldn't let me on the boat or monorail.
Hope you had a good time once you got there OP. I am also glad that you posted so that other people who are new realize this.
What would they check? They scan everyone's Magic band with a hand held device? Seems like that would take forever.They check at the entrance and don't let you go.
I'm with other posters.. Even after reading through the boards there's bound to be something you miss. I learn new things about Disney every time I come on here and love the "veterans" who are helpful & polite. Get off your Disney pedestal people. Know it all's & rudeness- totally unnecessary!
Thanks for the post OP, hope you had a magical time regardless!
You could have walked over to Poly. Checked out the sites. Walked the beach and such. I know it's not a perk to stay off site but you could have kept the DD busy for 45 minutes.

I totally agree. I've been on several WDW trips now, but made the mistake of responding to a post here on the DIS where the OP was disappointed to find out that often only a limited number of rides are open at the parks during morning EMH. I responded that on one of my early trips, we were quite disappointed during AM EMH at MK, since many of the rides we really wanted to ride were closed during the EMH.
You should have seen how many people basically said, "You should have known better" and made me feel dumb because I didn't know. Jeesh, how is a newbie supposed to know something like that? According to these posters, "This info is printed on the map/times guide." Wow, I was just basically saying, I wish I had realized ahead of time, and sympathsizing with someone who shared a similar experience.
So, OP, I'm sorry your day started off badly, and I hope it did get better. And thank you for sharing your story - it just might help someone hearing what you learned!
Oh, and for all those who know soooo much and are enjoying mentioning what a dumb plan we had, because y'know, being an hour late and all we basically wasted our morning - after we actually got into the park, the touring was perfect. In fact, we had lower waits today on the EMH day than our other day when we hit RD. We walked on rides that Josh's touring plans said would have 15-20 minute waits.
FWIW, I am not a newbie and I didn't know they would hold you at the TTC ... which was the point of your post, not for people to chastise you for your choices.
