Where to get what I need for EMH evening hours

[blessedby3]

I am thinking that they have a wristband or something for resort guests to take advantage of the EMH in the evening. I have never used the EMH evening hours, only the morning ones, and Im not sure where I need to get one if this is correct. Can anyone help me with knowing what to do. I know we will be taking advantage of this on our trip. Thanks

Check with any CM. There are several locations through-out the park and they can direct you where to go. Make sure everyone in your party has their room keycard with them.

We did EMH in MK on 10/29 and got ours over in Tomorrowland. On 10/30, when we did EMH for MGM, we got our bracelets in the area around Gertie the dinosaur.

Have fun!

2 hours before regular park closing time.
But instead of playing "one question at a time"...

Here's how EMH works for all 4 Theme Parks.

Look up the POSTED open and close times
http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/wdw/calendar/parkhours/index?id=MKCalendarParkHoursMonthlyViewPage
Pick your Park. Pick your Month.
>> Click on your DATE> <<
Disney publishes dates and times approximately 6 months in advance.
Make sure to check back often, as times and events are subject to change as the actual dates get nearer. The hours listed do NOT INCLUDE the EMH hour(s) so they would be in ADDITION to the posted hours.

For EMH, click on the WORDS > "Extra Magic Hours" < on the official calendar.
Or click HERE:

Only WDW resort guests staying on-property will be allowed EHM privileges and it COSTS NOTHING EXTRA to attend the EMHs.
There are slightly different situations for MORNING and EVENING EMH's.

-------MORNING EMH FACTS--------------------------------------
If it is a MORNING EMH, then WDW resort guests staying on-property will be allowed entry to THAT park on THAT day starting ONE HOUR before the posted opening time.
At least ONE person in your party should have a room key-card with them (sometimes EACH person needs to show one) to verify your current hotel status and gain entry.
So, only WDW resort guests will be ALLOWED INTO the park.
Once inside, only selected attractions will be open.
See the official WDW website for the latest attractions that will be open during EMH.

-------EVENING EMH FACTS--------------------------------------
If it is a EVENING EMH, then WDW resort guests staying on-property will be allowed to stay and ride attractions at THAT park on THAT day for THREE HOURS after the posted closing time. (Don't worry that the site says, "UP TO 3 hours." Thats just legalese... EMH will be 3 hours in the evening.)
You do NOT have to be in the park BEFORE scheduled closing time.
You CAN enter the park at any time during EMH and still get a wristband.
You can leave and re-enter the park at will (just like any normal time).

(So, YES, if MK is sched. to close at midnight, the EMH will run til 3AM! Yep, that's 3 in the morning. No, its not a mistake, that would be 3 full hours after the posted time.)
At Epcot, all of the EMH attractions in both FW and WS will remain open. (Ignore FW's "7pm Closing Time".)

All adults and children 3 years and older will be issued a room key-card when you check in to your WDW resort (if they are listed on your ressie). If they are not issued a key-card, you will have problems with EMH, because EACH guest (except for very small children) will need to show a room key-card to a CM at special "EMH kiosks" set up in various locations throughout the park. Kiosks are well-marked and are very easy to spot as you are walking in the parks. They open up these kiosks approx. 2 hours before the "regular" park closing time, and a wristband will be snapped on by the CM to each adult and child.
So make SURE the check-in desk issues EACH person in your party a room key-card. An adult can hold onto all the cards for the kids, but don't forget to bring the cards to the park.
They do not "run out" of wristbands, so you will each be able to get one, even if the park is busy.
Most nights the CMs will SCAN your room-key-card so that it can only be used to get a single wristband that evening. The ride CMs will then check for these wristbands at each attraction before allowing guests to enter the queue.
So, even though non-resort guests may still be INSIDE the park, only those with wristbands will be allowed to ride any open EMH attractions.
See the official WDW website for the latest attractions that will be open during EMH.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
You can enter the parks for EMH EVENINGS anytime... during "regular" hours, or even during the actual extended EMH hours.
This 1-hour morning EMH and 3-hour evening EMH rule applies at all 4 parks. Enjoy!

Wow! That's a lot of info Robo (more than what we had to go on)

 

[BamaFan121s]

There are several places in each park to get the wristbands. Just be sure to take ALL your room keys....we mad ethe mistake once of just keeping one with us and found out we could only get one wristband per ticket.

I have a question regarding evening EMH at Epcot...

If it says that WS closes at 9:30 and FW closes at 7:30 then does the evening EMH hours add on to FW or WS closing time?

Every night of the year (not just on EMH nights) certain FW attractions do NOT close at 7pm (or 7:30pm), but continue to allow entrance to the queues until IllumiNations begins.
These usually include Soarin', Mission: Space, Test Track, Spaceship Earth, and (sometimes) The Seas with Nemo and Friends.

Each and every attraction that is listed as being a part of Evening EMH at the Epcot theme-park at Walt Disney World, will stay open until approximately Midnight.

If, on occassion, Illuminations is scheduled for a 9:30 PM presentation and the Epcot theme-park is scheduled to close at 9:30pm, then each and every attraction that is listed as being a part of Evening EMH at the Epcot theme-park at Walt Disney World, will stay open until approximately 12:30 AM.

This includes each and every attraction in Future World that is listed as being a part of Evening EMH at Epcot.

This includes each and every attraction in World Showcase that is listed as being a part of Evening EMH at Epcot.

On various dates, there will be certain other attractions that may be open during EMH as well.

The American Adventure in World Showcase is scheduled to have only a limited number of performances when it is a part of Evening EMH at Epcot.
You need to check with the "Times Guide" handout (that is available at many locations around Epcot) to make sure that you arrive in time to see one of these shows, if you intend on viewing it during Evening EMH.
