EMH Question for brave new "World"

[scottrc]

Here's a question for extra magic hours, particularly the PM hours. If you no longer get hotel "key to the kingdom" ID cards, because of the bands and now day visitors can get bands....How do cast members differentiate between the 2 for PM EMH??

Good question...I wonder if they will start scanning the bands at each ride to see if you are staying on property....

My initial guess is that you will need to scan your band at the posts to get not he rides. If you are not an on-site guest, you will not get the green light. The bands know if you are on site or off. Pretty simple really. An offsite band will not work after park close time.

This does add another layer to the CM though. It will cause a lot of arguing from those off site guests trying to get a few last rides in right after close. Hopefully the CM's will enforce it and get support for doing so.

I've been wondering this as well, especially hearing about the problems with the MBs not scanning properly or not pulling up a person's FPs. What happens if you scan your MB and it doesn't work? Will we have to carry around hardcopies of all of our reservations as proof just in case? Or will they go back to the days of the EMH wristbands? I have a feeling this is going to add to everyone's frustrations, but we'll see!

I thought of this as well, but not every ride has a band reader / FP+

Subscribing because I'm curious.

That IS the procedure.

Each ride will have a CM at the queue entrance holding a portable MB scanner.
