ONE QUESTION OFTEN ASKED.......DO WE GET UNLIMITED EXPRESS PASS HERE....
The answer is yes you do. It is valid from when you check in until park closing on your check out day.
Although check in is officially 4pm, you can check in as early as 6am. Your room may not be ready but if it isn't you can leave any bags you have securely with Bell Services located adjacent to check in.
When you check in you will be given room keys matching the amount of guests on your reservation. As of 2017 this room key is your EP access. It has your name and date of your stay stamped on it. You show this to enter the EP and have it scanned either at the beginning or further into the line depending on the ride.
The EP queue is a separate to queue to the regular one and waits are usually much less than normal queue. You will need to show this to TM on entering the queue.
You will need your room key if you are planning to take advantage of Early Entry offered to onsite resort guests. EE is one hour before regular guests are allowed in.
**EP is a perk of staying at one of the qualifying hotels. Where you buy your park tickets has nothing to do with this and doesn't affect EP in any way**
