Early Admission (MM/EMH/APEE) Super Thread

[disneychrista]

So can you summarize for me who has access to which parks on which days?

3 day tickets come with ONE MM to Disneyland on Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday.

Hotel Guests have EMH everyday of their stay. DCA - Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Friday and DL Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday.

Thanks... Wow, so no early cars land unless you stay on-site eh? That almost makes it worth the outrageous prices!

That's the idea...

[and change the EMH dates in the OP]

Disney actually updated the Early Admissions Options page.

Starting September 30, registered Resort hotel Guests are currently scheduled to have Extra Magic Hour access to one park on the following select days*:

Disneyland Park: Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays
Disney California Adventure Park: Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays

We'll be staying at GCH on a Mon, Tues, and Wed...so does that mean 2 EMH at DCA and 1 at DL for a total of 3??? Two chances to ride all the CarsLand attractions before the park opens

Yes! And also check-in/check-out day if those aren't your M, T, or W.

With valid park admission,of course.

So this week, DLR Hotel guests are getting 3 days of EMH in DL where off-site guests can't get MM access (M, W, F). Next week, DLR Hotel guests get 0 such light traffic days.

Edited to correct. Thanks DLR29.

Yes for DL (not DLR). However they do get 4 DCA EMH days where off-site guests can't get in early. And even though next week begins DL's EMH and MM on the same day, that's nothing new from the past few years where onsite guests have had "0 such light traffic days" as well. Doesn't mean that there will be heavy crowds still during that Early Admission hour.

So next week my dream of staying at the GCH will become a reality thanks to the Gay Days super cheap (well, relatively cheap for GCH) rates.

However I just read on another site that "convention" hotel guests may not be eligible for early entry.

Does anyone know if I'll have early entry privileges next week?

Convention park hoppers aren't eligible for Magic Morning. But as long as you are staying at the Disney hotels, you are eligible. Unless they all of a sudden changed things this week- which I doubt.

 

[cindyland]

So if you are staying off-site, multiple days, should we make our DCA day on a day when the DL hotels don't have early entry? I know this is the case at DW, but should we start following this rule at DL as well?

Very frustrating...

And I'm sure Thanksgiving week means ALL bets are off.

This is what we will do in November. Start at DCA when the on site guests don't have EE. I don't think EE will impact DCA overall on EE days but it will definately affect Carsland during those morning hours.

OK everytime I read this thread I get more confused. Let me see if I have this straight.


Starting Sept 31st, the early hour days for DL are Tue, Thurs, and Sat.
The early hour days for DCA are Sun, Mon, Wed, and Fri. Early hour is one hour prior to general opening.


On-site guests can go to any of the above options as long as they are staying with a valid pass. Off-site guest with multiday passes only get one day for the above options per valid pass.


Is this correct?

Off site guests with a 3 day pass or more with Magic Morning will get in early to Disneyland on the designated days, only Disney hotel guests have early access to to DCA.

Everything is straight except for the date as there is no Sept 31st. It starts on the 30th. And that offsite guests only get access to DL and not DCA.

 

[Xenorye]

I'm sorry if I missed it, but is the hotel guests deal an indefinite thing, or does it expire at some point? We are going in February...

The perk of EMH for hotel guests has been an unwritten policy for years. This summer it became a public fact and promotional tool. Although everything at Disney is "subject to change", EMH isn't going anywhere.

I guess my head is already going to Halloween.

I think my confusion was the lack of early entry for DCA for off-site guests. Thanks for the clarification.

 

[Tasmen]

So Good Neighbor hotel guests no longer get into DCA early now? I'm just double, triple checking. This will change our plans
