Can you collect FP during EMH?

Title says it all!

Nope, machines don't turn on til the park officially opens.

I thought so too, but today at DCA RSR machines are open and dispensing FP during EMH!!

They were dispensing them during EMH on Wednesday, too!

That would help (among other things) explain why at 10:00 they are already at 3:00)!

And at 10:45 they are at 6:30

And at 11:15 it's already at 7:55 to 8:55! I don't know that I would want to spend any of my time waiting for a fastpass in the hour I could be going on attractions with lower crowds!

Then this is something new since mid Feb. They did allow you to line up, but machines didn't dispense until park opening. Interesting!

Could this be related to Disneyland being completely open at 8:00am at the same time as California Adventure's EMH at 8:00am? That's the only thing I can think of. Once either park has opened fast pass, maybe they both do?

 

[Robinjay]

I don't know but it was very light in Disneyland the first few hours. DCA wasn't too bad except toward Carsland.

Fast passes ran out at noon!! Spring break just started!

I will be following along! I am going to want to know if this becomes standard practice. My trips in May and this would be good info to have. We'll be offsite, so no EE for us, but it certainly plays into my touring plans on when to get a FP for this!

If it's just FP for one ride, I think they could be testing how to spread crowds throughout the park more during EMH by giving the option to get an FP for the most popular ride and hoping they'll then head elsewhere.
