Early Admission (MM/EMH/APEE) Super Thread

[HETRICKL]

Are the fast pass machines available during magic morning hours?

Also, if you don't ride Nemo during MM because the long is already too long, when is the best time to ride?

Thanks

No they are not.

On a non-MM day.

No FP during MM. I find the line for Nemo to be much shorter at night.

The OP answers the first question:

Are Fastpasses offered for Space, Star Tours or Buzz during MM?
No, FP machines will begin operating at official park opening. And FP for Buzz has been discontinued overall as of February 2011.

The second question is really not the right question to ask. The queue for Nemo is not the issue per se. It is that the time it takes to board the ride, do the ride, and exit the ride eats up most of the MM hour. That time is much better spent on FantasyLand rides.

I have found short lines (10 minutes) for Nemo mid-morning on recent trips. The shortest tend to be early evening during parades. It fluctuates. You need to cruise past, take a look at the line (it is a slow loading ride so a short line can take a long time - check the estimated wait time or use a smart phone app), and then decide on the spot to ride or come back.

I keep getting an error message when I try searching the thread so here is my question:

We will be staying in the DVC Villas at GCH and we will be there for 2 magic mornings. We purchased the military salute tickets which state that they are not valid for magic mornings. When I called Disney they said that upon check-in we will receive a voucher for 1 magic morning entry. So, I'm confused. I thought that staying on property allowed you access to magic mornings every day that they offer it on your trip. Will we be able to access magic mornings with our military salute tickets since we are staying on-site or does the exclusion still apply? If we can access magic mornings, will we only get one day? This matters b/c of character breakfast reservations.

You can do your reservations without the MM but all you have to do is show them your room key and an entry ticket. You are OK.

Thank you. We were trying to have breakfast after magic morning but I'm assuming then that our ticket exclusion trumps the resort benefit? If that is the case, I guess I wil schedule an earlier breakfast so that we can be ready for rope drop. Kids are early risers

Is it still only one magic morning if you stay offsite? We are thinking of saving money this year and staying at a good neighbor with a 5 day hopper.

I may be mis reading your question, but just to be clear:

If you're staying on site the "resort benefit" allows you to enjoy MM each day of your stay (including check out day AND check in day). Even with military tickets.

I had *hoped* for 2 MM as I bought 6 day park hoppers from Alaska Airlines (a whole package) but it seems we only get one. We are staying off site at Tropicana.

Not sure why you had hoped for that because that has never been the case for staying offsite. AAA used to offer a multiple "Early Entry" (back when it was EE) perk for their packages but it has been at least 3 years since they have offered that.

It was random hoping in all honesty. The thought was if you got 1 for a 3 day, would you get 2 for 6 days? It isn't the end of the world...just a random hope I am just thrilled to be going back to Disneyland

Is the only ride that is open early at CA Soarin'? (based on post #1)

I thought I read somewhere else that Little Mermaid was open, too...

LMAUA is usually open too. All of this will change on June 15 I expect.

FYI, the CM I spoke with today when calling the DLR general info line stated that this is only for APs @ this point.
