Where are AP lines at each park?

[quandrea]

I was told by 3 different CM that up to 2 people can go in with you in the AP line, the AP person need to go in first then you must tell the CM) this worked fine when I want with two none AP holders but they ended up getting an AP by the time we hoped to the next park, so I only got to try it once.

Thanks for this!

It would likely be pointless to tell you where they are now as they move them at times. But they are super easy to spot.
One thing to mention, even if they have longer lines they do move faster since typically you have folks who know what finger they used, how to scan, etc. Less of a learning curve with AP holders

When DH and I entered with the AP line at AK last week the CM there specifically told me that it was for us and any guests with us

I've never used it. The lines seem to be the same every time we go.

Don't assume there won't be people with issues and people who know how to use the scanners. We've had multiple times where the cm had to call a lead over because of issues with people's passes (not ours, other people in line). The lines aren't always faster. It's a nice idea, but it isn't always more efficient.

We use the AP line almost every time. Usually it moves faster. Yes, you might get behind somebody with an issue, but you have no way of avoiding that and it happens less frequently than in the other lines.

Still gonna be fewer chances of issues than in the regular lines. Much like TSA PreCheck, it's not always a shorter line but it's almost always faster. Even if you have 1 out of 10 that are new and can't use it or have a problem it's a better ratio than you'll usually find.

So on Saturday I went through a regular line at MK because the AP line was a lot longer

Basically, bottom line is, you aren't required to use the line, it's there if you want. Want to go in the regular lines, by all means go right ahead. Even if guests opt not to use it I like that it's there in case it does help

Longer and faster are not necessarily the same thing. Were you able to determine which would have been quicker?

So AP holders have this perk where there are AP specific tapstiles for entry into the parks. This sounds like it could save time if we knew where they were at each park's entry. Anyone know?

Look for the big round sign that looks like the mickey logo on the AP Discount card, that will tell you which line to use It's not always in the same place everyday.

Yeah I went through the line next to the AP line. I was able to go through the regular line faster than the AP if I had entered it.

Appreciate the report!

I went to MK tonight around 7pm mostly to see Wishes and I made a point to use the AP holder line to enter.There weren't that many gates to enter so the lines were somewhat long,including the AP line.I basically paid attention to my AP line and the two regular lines next to me.Regular line 1 was by far the slowest,regular line 2 and my AP holder line both moved fast at pretty much the same speed until a little girl had issues scanning her band in my AP line.Final tally regular line 2 was the fastest,AP line second place and regular line 1 the slowest,in the end what's the significance,what does it mean,as Pee Wee Herman says,"I don't know".
