There's a post "up there" that some people really need to read
I am glad to have a perk for AP holders, but it is a bummer that we will be an hour "behind" for every other morning. We are always at rope drop, and on the days when we have been in DL after MM, touring is noticeably affected. Oh well, I guess it is better to focus on the positive aspects of the policy.
). We are intending to buy DS17 an AP for next year, as he will be attending UCI and it makes sense for him to have one. However, we haven't decided DAP or PAP, so we were considering waiting until fall to buy it. For our upcoming trip, he has a six day hopper. There is a possibility that we will upgrade while there, but we haven't decided.
As others have said, I am very disappointed to learn that although we will have six mornings in the parks, we will only be able to arrive at opening for two of those mornings.
Here's an interesting scenario: we currently have three family members with APs and one without (just how it worked out this year with school schedules, I swear it's not Disney child abuse!
Ok, so here is my question. In the past, when we have traveled in a split group (part AP/part PH), those of us with APs have been allowed to enter for MM with those who have hoppers. We were hoping to do the same with DS17's six day for this trip. However, we really want to take advantage of the APEE, so we are concerned about how this will work. Do you think that the CMs at the turnstiles will behave the same way but in reverse? In other words, will they allow DS17 to enter the park with us for our registered APEEs?
If that has actually happened to you, that's not the norm. But because of the limited space for APEE, they'll be making sure that it's just AP holders.
I'm honestly confused as to what you're referring to.
If you're talking about your post about the Early Admission to DCA on July 2, 4, and 6th, then it's already covered in the OP. That reference on the calendar is to onsite EMH.
Ok you are confusing me too. I have not read that PH tix allow you into DCA early. Only DL. Are you saying you can get into DCA early with your one MM? Because the OP does not say one can do this. And I have not seen Disney say you can do this either.
Or this may just be another example of erroneous info I have received from CMs the past two mos. 
Of course Mary also told me that RSR was 48" and the Matterhorn height requirement was the same. She did however get the day right for the RSR height requirement of 40" to be published, which was this past Wed.... 
Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure they're gonna be strict about not letting non-AP holders in for APEE. Also, this is the first account I've heard of APs being allowed in for MM without staying onsite.
I'd definitely just upgrade his ticket to an AP. I'm a student at USC and I go to DLR at least once a month! It's soooo worth it. And, although the prices just skyrocketed, I think that the PAP is worth it. The parking is really nice (will he have a car?) and being able to go with friends on any weekend is great.
The way it was explained to me is that the CMs try to avoid splitting up families. It may be a thing of the past anyway, since many of the new pricing policies seem to be focused on reducing any impropriety regarding ticket use, and this might be seen to fall under that category.
I have not seen it yet. It would be nice to know. I think the obvious ones will be those 3 rides in CL.
If you want to ride RSR with FP then you really should plan to go get them at the very first opportunity in the morning. They might run out early. You always have the option of the standby line. Expect that to be 4 hours at first dropping to 2-3 throughout the summer. This is based on recent summers with Nemo, ST, etc.
No.
