Will be staying on site for 1 night to enjoy express passes for our first 2 days at US and after will be moving offsite for our last 3 nights. If I remember correctly, been there over 5 years, you just have to show your pass briefly in order to use the express line entrance... I know that you keep your pass as a souvenir at the end of your stay... so how they know for sure that your pass is still valid???
 
you need to create the express pass by using your hotel card.

the dates of your stay are on the express pass.



and, it is coded.

once you leave the hotels, your expass expires at park closing that day.


you show your express pass to enter the express lines.
 
Thanks for the reply!

are they scanning the pass at the entrance of the line? If not, it's easy to flash your card and go in even if expired???

Yes...the cards are be scanned at each attraction entrance.

not possible.
on some rides, you have two check points.

or it did for me last october.
 
Yep, some rides at busy times check twice. They were doing this at Transformers. Someone at the entrance was looking at the dates then inside someone was scanning them.

5 years ago when you went it was just your room key with no bar-code. Then they came out with the barcodes so paid or hotel guest get scanned. That was not enough so they now make you get your photo taken after you receive your hotel key. You take your hotel key to a kiosk in the lobby and insert it. It will take your photo and spit out a tickets style paper express pass. This had your photo and expiration date (departure date).

This is all because people were selling extra hotel keys or handing them to people if they leave early. I like the new way better.:thumbsup2

The best is when people cut into the express line and think they got by only to have an employee scanning halfway into the ride. This happens a lot on Mummy. This also happened on Hulk yesterday while it was very busy. There we 3 people right behind us without express. But somehow they sweet talked the guy and he waved them past. This makes me mad as I spend all that money for this privilege for someone to give it away.:(
