Character Caravan OR Early Entry

[Disneyolic]

I would love to know which people prefer...the Character Caravan or Early Entry.

I personally loved Early Entry. I felt it was one of the biggest bonuses of being on the property. I'm sure the Character Caravan is nice for the little ones (some big ones too) but they can still meet them at the parks.

I liked EE when it was offered, and I enjoyed character caravan when we were there in January. Honestly, I enjoyed the extra sleep the most!!!

I can't vote. Neither matter to me although the CC was cool when we were there in Feb.

I hope you send this to Disney after we have many votes for EE.

During the busy times early entry is really important for Magic Kingdom. We were there in Nov. this year and did not miss it because there were no crowds, but in March we REALLY wished we could get into MK early! I hope Disney is listening!!!

We just got back from Disney and the WL.

We didn't get to experience the character caravan b/c it came so early in the morning at the WL and it was only on two select days.

We thought about going to see the characters downstairs, but trying to get 2 adults and 2 small kids ready to head to the parks in the morning didn't allow for time to see the caravan. We were more interested in getting to the parks early to avoid long lines at the start of the day.

My vote is for EE!

As hot as it was this past week during our stay, I would have loved to have had EE to help beat the heat. I was scorching by 10 a.m. and the parks had only been open an hour.

We have never taken advantage of EE. I will say this being my DD's 4th trip (she's 4) she absolutely loved the CC. Even when we were heading to the parks she liked to wait in the lobby of the Boardwalk for the characters. She always had her autograph book ready!! So against the majority, I have to vote for the Character Caravan.

Is this a trick question? hee hee

EE EE EE EE!!!

On our first trip last August, we use EE each day that we went to a park. Using EE and fastpass we only waited in 4 lines in 7 days!
Every other ride and show we walked right on! My son (9 at the time) saw a ton of characters in the parks.

Please bring back EE. If I want to see the characters, I'll do a character meal or find them in the parks.

EE all the way.

 

[addicted_to_WDW]

Put me down for a neither as well...my family never utilized EE (we sleep late) and my son is only interested in characters he hasn't already met.

 

[Disneyolic]

up to the top...hopefully for more votes.

Look, look WDW!!! See...we really do want EE back!!!! We really liked EE, even in Nov. When we went Nov '01 we missed it, a lot!!!! I'm hoping that they bring it back for our summer '03 visit. The CC looked like a huge mob-scene in our lobby. I'll go to a character meal or catch one of the characters in the parks if need be. Besides, now that my dd is getting a little older, it's not such a huge deal for her. Oh, please listen to us all of you "powers that be"!!

It's too bad this has no validity as far as numbers go. The choices direct the response.

I'm sure for those that used it EE was great. But since there is no choice for those that don't care for EE the poll is flawed.

 

[Nysie]

EE all the way!! We end up going to Disney in August, and with EE we were always up early and got into the parks before it got tooooo hot!! When our children want to see the characters, we go to a Breakfast or to meet them in Town Hall!! We won't waste our time with the CC in the morning!! EE was the best "perk" for staying on Disney property!!

 

[wdw4us2]

EE!! EE!! EE! EE!! EE!!

In case you couldn't understand -- EE!

 

[Poohnatic]

I haven't experienced the CC yet (but I will in 30 days, woo hoo!).

I love the EE, but for a strange reason. When DH and I were on our honeymoon, we did the EE then hopped to another park at 11am.

Now, with 2 kids, we loved the EE, because that's the park we'd skip that day! Kinda knew where everyone staying in the resorts would go! Made the first two hours in Epcot and MGM as if we'd had them to ourselves!

I don't believe the poll is flawed. Disney has stated in it's recent ads that they have listened to their guests and gave them what they wanted. They stated that guests didn't really care about the EE and wanted to meet the characters instead. I personally didn't believe it and want to know exactly who these guests are. If you don't utilize either EE or CC then it really does not matter. You just don't vote as you would not have been in their statistics in the first place.
