extra hours at the parks

[mum of two pirates]

Just wondering how that really works. to get in early you have your ticket and your resort card. Do my kids also get room keys to show, or only the parents.

(Do the kids use the cards to pay for thier own snacks if we get the dinning plan or do we pay for them and do we have to sign slips?)

How dos it work at closing with extra hours? does everybody have to leave or wait in a certain area and get back in? thanks

We were on a package, so our room keys were also our park tickets. We just put the tickets in the machines to get in early in the mornings. For the EMH evenings, we showed our room key to get a bracelet. We showed our 3 year old's ticket but didn't do anything for the 2 year old.

For EMH evenings, hotel guests are given bracelets and non-hotel guests are supposed to leave at the regular park closing time. YOu can pick up the bracelet earlier in the day or when you arrive at the park. We had to show our bracelets to get on rides, so I guess that's one way they monitor the program. They do not clear the park and then let hotel guests in afterward.

When you have the dining plan, all meals are loaded into one account and can be accessed on anyone's room key/ticket on that account. One person can buy all the snacks since all meals and snacks are pooled into one account. It doesn't matter who purchases them with what ticket. You can also have people buy them separately - doesn't matter. For a party of three, I got three drinks and 2 popcorns at one stand on one card. Until it's improved, the CM has to ring the snacks up separately and you have to sign each slip, so be sure to tell them when you order that you're on the plan so they can start ringing ASAP. I sometimes found it easier to get drinks as snacks at counter places so they could ring them up together.

Hope this helps you.

O.K. So my 7 and 9 year olds will get room keys becouse they will be there tickets and thier meal cards. what if they lose them? and what would stop an adult from using a childs card to get through the turnstiles? ( if it is a put in your key and pull it out like an atm card?) If my child lost his card can someone else use our meals and snacks? Do you have to put the bracelet on as soon as you get it in the day or put them in the backpack tell later? thanks
