EE and DTD Hotels?

[figment27]

Hi All,
I was just over to the "theme park and attractions" board, and read about EE being back.
Someone had posted the actual news release. It only mentioned the Hilton at LBV, Swan and Dolphin as hotels other that WDW resorts as being eligible for EE.
Does this mean that all the DTD hotels are ineligible for EE?
I was planning on staying at CY by Marriott in DTD in January.
Anyone know if these hotels are included in EE as they were before?
Thanks,
Figment

I would assume that there is a cost to the Hotels (beyond the complimentary shuttle buses) for participating in the EE program. Since the press release only mentions the Hilton, Swan & Dolphin, I would also assume that the other DD Hotels are not participating at this time. The only way to know for sure is to call the hotel directly and ask. Hope it works out for you.

Email confirmation from CY by Marriott confirms that they have not been asked to participate in EE at this point.
I do believe we will still be staying at CY due to the great reviews, and pricing, I have read about on these boards.
I will be travelling to WDW in January when there is traditionallly low attendence.
I cannot justify the significant increase in costs to stay at a WDW resort for an extra hour of park time!
We have stayed at WDW resorts in the past so we have experienced the "magic"., but I cannot justify the significant increase in costs to stay on property for one hour extra of park time!
