Great memories indeed, thanks, Wed.This is for the "new-comers" who never went to E Ride Nights and for the "old-timers" who may want to travel down Memory Lane......

So true. Just look at how many people are thrilled with Main St Elec parade coming back, but the other half is upset that they'll miss Spectro!!! No one thing is going to make everyone happy.Disney can't win. When E-nights were being done, I can't tell you how many times I heard, "I'm not paying extra for shorter lines, I'm paying too much as it is, lines should be shorter anyways". And now it's complaints about EMH and wanting E-nights back.
Dan...I thought we had all agreed to keep this under our hats!!!!E nights were great. Now I always visit the low crowd non emh parks. I guess emh is good for that, it keeps the other parks less crowded.![]()
I haven't had that experience in years. I know that for the last few years, the attractions have been crowded up until the last hour of EMHs. Then it was a walkon situation. But I still resent that Disney allows non-resort guests to remain in the parks. Sure it's nice that they aren't allowed to get on attractions, but we all know that some CMs just aren't checking room keys. But Disney has decided to 'sort of' give resort guests something 'special' while still allowing off site people to stay in the park and spend money.Now change that to the CMs asking you to stay on the ride because they're lonely. Imagine walking through the park, turning a corner and there are Mickey and Minnie standing alone just looking for people to interact with. We had CMs at the Haunted Mansion asking us to stick around because they were tired of watching empty cars pass by. I suspect for Soarin you'd just sit in the same seat and ride over and over.
Not going to happen. Disney is very adverse to doing anything that will develop a 'class system' when it comes to resorts. There is a reason all resort keys look exactly the same, with the exception of concierge level keys. Disney doesn't want those staying at POP (for instance) to feel like a lower class citizen when they are standing behind the family that is staying at the Polynesian. Having different room keys would do that.IMHO, if they were going to charge, I would say do it on a sliding scale based on the class hotel you are staying at, and then really charge if someone off site is doing it:
$10 - Deluxe
$15 - Moderate
$20 - Value
$50 - Off Site
You're welcome Dan.Great memories indeed, thanks, Wed.

Okay, Diane, I'll take back my thoughts. Emh does not help the other parks' crowds stay lower.......Dan...I thought we had all agreed to keep this under our hats!!!!The more people that hear this, the more people that will be over at MK on DHS EMH nights.....
Our first trip last year we were at Magic Kingdom one night... Just as EMH started the clouds opened up and it poured rain. People were running for the exits in droves. The rain ended in about 20 minutes and the park was ours. My then six-year-old daughter and I stayed until as she says "They kicked us out!" We didn't wait in line for any ride and the buses were empty when we left.
We rode Splash Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and Space Mountain multiple times without having to get out of the seats! The CMs just kept it repeating. It was awesome.
There were times that we didn't even see other guests within site of us.
i would guess that WDW's purpose for e-nights or EMH is additional profit
I would never pay for that. The perk of staying on property is EMH(one of the perks). Universal has front of the line access, we have EMH. Not everyone does it anyway, so during our stays I did not find long lines and we go during busy summer time.
It would be nice if EMH were more frequent. If they had EMH everyday, preferably at more than 1 park. it would be awesome, much less crowded.
