Hilton DTD - how does EMH work now?

[Gales4Goofy]

Hi everyone -

We stayed at Hilton in 2007, back when you got a wristband to attend evening EMH. In order to get a wristband, you showed your Hilton room key to the CM. We had a rough time..apparently a number of CM's don't know about the Hilton EMH privileges, and the CM's had to ask a few of their associates before we received our wristbands. (even then, I think the CM was skeptical!) Its understandable...after all, the Hilton room key at the time was just a solid blue card that said 'Hilton' on it. Nothing to identify it as Disney-worthy!

I've heard that the new evening EMH system is to show your KTTW to the ride attendant to gain admission to the line. Does anyone know if Hilton has made any kinds of changes to their process to make the room keys more "EMH-Friendly"? I can just imagine trying to explain the Hilton EMH policy at every attraction and then wait for someone's approval....over and over again. Kinda takes the magic out of the EMH.

Has anyone had recent experience with this?

Giving this a bump. Are there no Hilton lovers out there? I have to use up those points!

Sadly, I haven't heard anything to tell you, but I am staying there in October on points too. I plan on using the EMH perk during my stay, so anyone knows, it would be great to know in advance.

don't know either.

ask the front desk - maybe they can give you the Disney contact number to call if you have problems.

really though Disney trained their employees (CM) better - this is not acceptable - especially at Disney.

might write Disney and Hilton and complaint.

Hilton is paying Disney alot of money for this - so WDW better be telling its employees.
