Early Admission (MM/EMH/APEE) Super Thread

[Malroy]

Okay, someone please let me know if I'm understanding this correctly.

They are now doing EMH alternated between parks. Somedays they have done EMH at both parks. Are there only certain days that people can use MM? We are going in march (first week of the spring break rush, 12-15) and I am trying to decide which day to do what....I know I won't be able to be 100% certain until park hours and such are released for those days. At this point I'm kind of assuming they will have EMH at both parks, with it being spring break and all, but if I am wrong and do each park on a not EMH day, will that plan be foiled by guests using MM? I am mostly worried about cars land (mostly RSR) at this point. We are definitely going to get there early, but after reading some recent posts I'm over analyzing and getting nervous! Thanks for any input

ETA: I have re-read the first page and now see that it says no MM at DCA currently. So I suppose I just need to hope that they don't do EMH concurrently!

Read the OP, it'll explain your questions, but I'll give the summarized answer...

EMH is for onsite guests only. EMH at DL is on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday. EMH at DCA is on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Onsite guests can use EMH everyday during their trip.

MM is for guests with 3+ day tickets. MM is only at DL. MM is on the same days as DL EMH. Guests with 3+ day tickets can use MM once during their trip. MM does not affect Cars Land, which is in DCA.

If you have EMH (aka if you're staying onsite), use it! Also we don't know if EMH will be offered at both parks everyday. I wouldn't assume so until they announce it. That was only during the summer and 2 weeks at Christmas. Not sure if that will be happening during Spring Break.

Thank you, I had read the OP I was just getting confused. I guess I could've also included that we are not staying on site. Thanks for the response, I think I've got it figured now

If you're not staying onsite, then you can't use EMH...but you can use MM. I would do the following...

Start at:
Tuesday (12th)- MM at DL
Wednesday (13th)- Either Park (DL doesn't have any Early Admission)
Thursday (14th)- DCA
Friday (15th)- Either Park (same as Wed.)

I have a question...I know that EMH at DL is only Tue/Thus/Sat but when we are going later this month, the calendar says that there will be early admission to DL both that Saturday (01/26) and Sunday (01/27). Does that early entry apply to DL hotel guests only or also to MM? I've called Disney twice about this and got two conflicting answers which has me confused.

Saturday will be our first day in the parks and the kids want to go to DCA first to see carsland and we're hoping to do DL on Sunday but would like to know if we also get that early entry.

Did AP early entry at DCA, and turnstiles were accepting both paper tickets and AP cards. This led me to believe that hotel guests are able to get into both parks at any time, not just what is specified. In the last couple minutes of extra magic hour, when the general crowd had already formed for Carsland, there was a separate pathway for early entry, and CMs were checking for either APs or hotel guests who had the hotel purple slip. I don't know if APs were able to get into Disneyland with early entry today. I also don't know if MM is allowed into DCA. Sorry for the confusing terms.

Okay I have read the OP at least 6 times and I still think this is the most confusing part of the whole DL thing. We are NOT staying onsite. We WILL have 1 MM as part of our tix. We are going Saturday, Sunday, Monday, March 8-10. As far as I can see AP's are blocked out for Saturday.

SO I have to make a choice for Saturday- use my MM at DL (only day I can do that) OR take advantage of the fact that DCA will have very limited APEE guests (deluxe or those who buy a block out ticket) and no EMH guests.

Which do I choose? Our girls are 12 & 14 so we plan to close the parks each night. We haven't been in 6 years so it is all new to them (again )

And yes I fully realize they could change the days each park has it's special mornings, I will keep watching for changes.

TIA!

Sunday early entry into DL is for AP holders.

Hotel guests get EMH at DCA on Sundays.

Here's an idea. You could take advantage of about 45 min of MM on Saturday, and then hop over to a less crowded DCA park right before its park opening. You could do most of Fantasyland and still make it over to DCA for opening.

that makes total sense- thanks!

Glad I read the header. I knew DCA started MM, but assumed they were leaving DL as the S and T days. Glad I saw that DCA is taking Sunday.

We're staying onsite, so we have MM every day.

 

[Susie63]

So can anyone give me the crowd comparison between AP EE at DCA and EMH at DL on saturdays and on AP EE at DL and EMH at DL on sundays.

I will have both options available to me,but I would like the less crowded park.

I would love to know that as well!

Usually pretty light except for RSR at DCA. There are just not that many hotel guests who will get up for a 7AM EMH. And there are not that many folks with 3 day tix for MM (at DL). And AP holders are not using EE that much.

 

[mommy2mrb]

Sundays are usually pretty quiet too since most of the locals don't come until around noon.

I'm confused- What is the difference between EMH and MM?

This info is in the first post- with lots of good details. No doubt it is confusing- MM comes with tix, EMH comes with onsite stays

Yes, read the first post in this thread. DLR29 is the creator of this thread and answers this question in detail.

Thank you. I did read the first post and then followed all the links too. I think too much information at once that was not absorbed.

MM---early entry into Disneyland park only by those with multi-day tickets of 3 or more days on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.





EMH---early entry in Disneyland for those who are staying at one of the 3 onsite hotels on Tuesdays, Thursday and Saturdays (same as MM)

Also includes early entry in California Adventure for those who are staying at one of the 3 onsite hotels on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Friday
