Early Admission (MM/EMH/APEE) Super Thread

[CrazyDuck]

The perk of EMH for hotel guests has been an unwritten policy for years.

They actually had it written on their website as far back as a couple of years ago that Magic Mornings were available everyday for DLR Hotel guests.

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

Good Neighbor hotel guests NEVER got early admission to DCA, unless they were also AP holders who signed up for APEE.

Moreover, there was no official early entry to DCA ever until this past June. It just started. And when it started it was for hotel guests only and a short term program for AP holders which is now over.

*bump* needed due to more confusion in the "AAA" thread

Where and when do Jack & Sally do their meet and greets?
Is it published in the Times Guide?
Does it get very crowded?
We're going in the 1st week in November and this is a must-do for us!!

Is Toy Story parking lot open early enough for this? We actually just want to take that bus since our hotel is near there.

So when we stay at the DLH for 6 nights.....we get EMH every morning at the specified resort. Because we have a 3-day parkhopper pass we also get a MM. But the MM is moot because we are on-property and have EMH. Or can they be stacked? Can I use my MM to get in an hour before my EMH, an hour before park opening? I'm pretty sure that's a pipe dream but it sure sounds good!

You only get EMH if you have valid park admission. So even though you are staying 6 days you can only enter 3-days one hour early. And yes you do not need the MM on your hopper tickets.

Does anyone know where I can sell Disney dollars from 1988 and 1989

 

[drmrchk]

Oh yes, I meant every day we go to the park, not that we are staying, but thanks for clarifying.

It sure would be nice if I could double up my MM and my EMH!!

I had a question about EMH. We will be staying at VGC at the end of November & my wife wants to take her nieces with us to DCA. Will they let her nieces in during EMH since technically they aren't staying with us but we will have a resort key. We will already be taking our DD & DS with us.

Each person will need to have a room key for EMH. if the nieces have 3+ day hoppers, they should qualify for MM at DL but could not enter DCA early with you. If your villa allows 6 people, just add them to your reservation so they'll have room cards.

How have the crowds been lately during EMH? Want to ride RSR once just to say we did it and hoping to avoid the "running of the bulls".

Be there the week after thanksgiving.

We experienced two DCA EMH days last week - Weds and Fri. Weds was our check-in day at GCV which took a bit longer than I would have liked. Didn't get to RSR until 8:10 (EMH started at 8) and there was already a 50 minute wait. By the time we rode and got in FP line, FPs ran out before we got through the line.

On Friday (7 am EMH open), we woke up at 5am (yes on vacation) to be in line by 6:30 am to ensure we got to ride RSR and hopefully get a FP for later. All worked well until we found RSR not running. We did ride Mater's and Luigi's and some other things during the time (as suggested on DIS), but when it opened, it immediately had a 150+ min wait. At least we got FP for later.

We were there this past week and it was super busy. However, if you get to security at least 30 minutes prior to EMH starting and use the wide right technique, you should be able to ride without much of a wait. It really isn't running of the bulls in that the CM's walk you back into Carsland. Just make sure you are to HHS far right so when you get to the ride, the queuing area is to the right so you will be closer to the front if you are on the right already. Getting to security at least 30 min prior to opening is so that you are not wag back in the crowd walking into Carsland.
We did this and it worked like a charm Mon/Wed and we were riding it by the 15 minute mark and would have on Friday but the ride was down. So DH waited 45 min for FP's and we rode in the evening with little wait.

Oh and, GCH entrance? Or main gate? And what is HHS? Thanks!!

Main entrance is better, closer to Carsland.

No clue what is HHS.

 

[poohj80]

Main entrance is better, closer to Carsland.

And more turnstiles.

So they would still require a 6 yr old to have a room key in order to get into DCA for EMH?
