How Important is EE to You? - DVC Member Only Poll

[sumessefui]

We used to use it before joining DVC, but now we sleep later. Since we have all these years to come to WDW, EE is no longer important to us.

We've never really used early entry during our trips to Disney over the past 2 years. Not in the usual way anyway. Most of the time, we went to a park that didn't have EE because we found it to be less crowded--so in that regard we did like it I guess.

I'm sure when things get better Disney will re-evaluate. They are going to have to, because in order to have a successful business you need to keep your customers happy.

The only reason we paid attention to which park was the EE one each day, was to know which park to avoid . We've found that going to a park the day AFTER it was EE works very well for us.

Is this thread still alive?

In reviewing the posts, I noticed that no one said anything about the fact that EE was one of the very few incentives for guests staying on property as opposed to staying off-site.

It seems to me that Disney Management is shooting themselves in the foot by removing this incentive and thereby cutting off a potential source of revenue.

You brought it back. I think those of us that visit frequently, mine being once a year, do not go commando style. We don't need to do everything. I think that we, although I won't speak for all DVC members, have the prevailing thought that if we don't do it this trip, we'll do it the next one.

So, in a nutshell, I personally don't care if they ever bring EE back since I have never used it and have only stayed onsite.

DD and DS are 10 & 7 and we always use EE at MK and MGM. Since most of our trips are Friday-Sunday, this is a great advantage to us. There is simply no better way to do MK if you have kids who still insist on doing every attraction in Fantasyland. As for the posts about the EE park being the most crowded, that may be true, but who cares if you have already done all of Fantasyland and most of Tomorrowland before the park opens to anyone not staying onsite? When it becomes crowded - leave and go back to the resort or on to another park. Will we stop going to WDW because of the elimination of EE? No, but it won't be as enjoyable. I already know it's true because DH and I were at WL the weekend of 11/16-11/18 and the crowds were awful at MK and MGM. Too many people trying to do the same things during the same reduced hours. JMHO, though.

When the suspension of EE first occurred, the issue you bring up was discussed quite a bit on these boards.

I agree that for those who are making a "trip of a lifetime" to WDW, the elimination of EE could make a difference in choosing to stay on-site or off-site.

But there are many who choose to be on-site to be surrounded by the Disney magic all the time. And, even though some seem to intensely dislike it, the transportation system is a big draw as well for many.

Of course, us DVCers have already made the choice to stay on-site for the next 40 years!

I know many are upset by the elimination of EE but frankly, when I'm on vacation I don't participate in anything with the word EARLY in it !!
