Evening Magic Hours for Deluxe Guests Only

[mshanson3121]

So... this definitely confirms, Disney wants the rich folks - not their middle class, budget guests. Gotta say, this feels like a slap in the face.

Eta: the new proposed early morning entry is no replacement for EMH, which were morning and night, longer, and available to all. IMO.

It is…but for years now, Universal has only given their version of fast passes for free to their deluxe guests.

An extra hour after the park closes available to all deluxe guests isn’t much of a benefit tbh. It’ll probably still be super crowded. Hopefully this bodes well for some kind of deluxe fastpass benefit though instead of just a pure paid version.

Also, early hours- which seem very similar to EMH- are available to all resort guests.

It looks like early hours are for all resorts...

"we will be rolling out a new early theme park entry benefit for Disney Resort hotel guests"

Dannnnngggg. I don't like this, and I'm one who usually stays at Deluxe resorts. I know life isn't fair, but this leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Keep in mind that offering an evening hour on certain nights for Deluxe guests doesn not preclude other offerings for other guests. It could just be the start.

All resorts will have EMH back though.

Disney is not really taking anything away from guest but offering more to those that pay more.

30 minutes is not exactly EMH....its not much of anything really

It's not EMH it's 30 minutes of early entry which is useless.

They explicitly are. They took away EMH at the beginning of the year and are just giving it back to deluxe guests.

I actually don’t mind it. It’s just the way things are. I don’t stay deluxe, but honestly you should get more for spending $600+ on a room per night than someone paying $200. It does indeed suck for someone like me, but it makes total sense.

Just like I don’t think the neighbor hotels or whatever they call them should have been getting EMH before. Should have just been for Disney resorts only.

Yes, they are taking something away...it use to be ALL resort guests got extra Evening hours...now only Deluxe do

 

[Brett Wyman]

Me as a DVC owner at these events...

 

[Farro]

I don't like it. They aren't giving extra to deluxe, they are giving the same while taking away from the rest.

But I'm still not paying them $600 a night for a room.

Is it only 30 minutes?

 

[Brett Wyman]

The new one that hasn't started is only 30, yes.

 

[Jonfw2]

The new one that hasn't started is only 30, yes.

So it basically gives resort guests 1-2 “free rides” before the crowds grow.

Yes. Morning only. Previously they were morning and night, available to all.

How do you figure? a year ago there were evening EMH, they were two hours long, and they were available to all Disney Resort guests.
