New Way of distributing bracelets at EMH

[dizneydiva2005]

While at Disney LAST May we only had to show a room key to a cm in order to get a braclet. Since then ~ when we went a cm now scans your room key. I was told the reason for the scanning was: too many people were cheating by handing a room key, getting a bracet, walk away and give the room key to another NON disney guest {say a friend traveling with you but offsite} and they walk through the line, get a braclet. The scanning helps cut down on trouble.

Not only that, she got wristbands for her entire family of 8--you are only supposed to be able to get the one for yourself and each member of your party is supposed to go up separately to get theirs. This was a night they were using the scanner too. When I exited, she was WAITING for me and said "see, you're not so special--off site guests get them too!"

Kudos to you for not blowing your top! I think what would've offended me the MOST out of the situation would be how she said 'she you're not special.' I don't think I'm "special" or "better than others" because I get to get to stay at a Disney resort, if anything I feel VERY blessed...It sounds like she just said that out of jealousy. Sounds like you let the whole situation roll off your back at the time and I believe in karma...She'll get hers.

I was also there last week and every time we did EMH at night (and ONLY at night, lol, we're late-r sleepers!) we had our cards scanned. Took a few minutes, but keeps women like those mentioned above from getting access to rides during EMH as well. We had AMAZING luck with night time EMH, walked onto rides like Everest, SM, Splash, BTMR...Hope some of you have luck like that on upcoming trips!

The little hand held scanners were used when we were there in December.

But if they were here, they would have known about it already. People like her, who complain until they get what they want, annoy me.

What annoys me just as much, is that the cast members let them get what they want, even it it's against the rules, just because they make a scene. I think the obnoxious people know this, and take advantage of it.

I don't agree with that either. The CM was probably afraid of getting in trouble. But other on-site guests could have made a stink too and gotten the CM in even bigger trouble, I would think.
I see different situations like this happen and I don't agree with it. (Not just at Disney.) That only reinforces if they act over the top they get or do what they want when they should not, and with no consequences.
I see it as an adult temper tantrum.
