Early entry for Annual Passholders?

[rpiff]

Hi all,

My family is visiting me in CA for a four-day DL extravaganza, so I bought each of them a 4-Day Park Hopper Bonus Ticket. Do these include an early entry? I have a premium annual pass...can I join them for early entry?

Any info would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Ray

if you kindly ask the cast member who lets ppl in, you have a slight chance of getting in. i know like fastpass, if one person out of like 5 doesnt have the fastpass but the other 4 do, then they just let you go.

Thanks, Albort! I was hoping it was possible, so wish me luck I get a cast member as nice as you.

If you are staying on property you will all get early entry for every day it is offered. This is the only way I've gotten early entry as an AP.

that works too... or maybe one of the fellow DIS member has an extra to let you have, i know there were a few ppl who had extra toontown madness tickets and were willing to give up...

TIs a dream comes true on DIS board

I tried that in December and it was a no go! The other 5 in our party had park hoppers and I had an AP. Just didn't want you to get your hopes up, you really have to run into that exceptionally nice CM.

Same experience as Andrea here.
9 people in our group with early entry, 1 without
We figured it was worth a shot - but no go.

I guess you just gotta be lucky... i remember the first time i went to Disneyland, they forced my cousin to have an adult ticket and yet he was only 9 years old. we tried it at a different line, and the CM on purposely went over to our line and prevented us from entering...

id say ask around, maybe someone has an extra early entry...

Unfortunately EE is tied to the park ticket media and is not a seperate ticket, like towntown madness (unless something has changed since December). CM at the gate will stamp the ticket with a Red EE (remember those old Library ink stamps) when you use it for EE. Unless someone has an extra day and have not used their EE portion of the ticket and are within 13 days of their first entry, that is the only way I can see that you can use someone elses EE.

Bummer for as well, because the rest of our party and our daughter will get EE and we have to hang back and wait.

I wouldn't even count on a friendly CM to get in. Your best bet to get in is to stay on-site.

I have run across this exact scenario four times--not once did I get in early! The CMs were all very nice and sympathetic but no go! I just used that time to have a non-fat latte at La Brea Bakery and met up with everyone later!
