Extra Magic Hours......Wristbands or No Wristbands?

[DisneyJunkie]

I've seen from numerous WDW sites that for the Evening Extra Magic Hours, they're doing away with the use of wristbands and are going to rely solely on the Resort ID card. Is this true? The reason I ask is because on the newly-designed WDW site (during those very infrequent times when it's accessible), I've copied the following, which seems to contradict the rumors:

Evening Hours-Locate a designated Cast Member inside the Theme Park before closing time and present your valid Park ticket and Resort I.D. You will receive a special wristband that will grant you access to the Park for an additional 3 hours.

(Found it here: http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/resorts-benefits/ and then by clicking on "Extended Theme Park Hours")

When we were there the week of Dec 14th we went to an evening EMH at MK and there were no wristbands...had to show the room key. I found it to be a pain to have to take the room key out every time I wanted to ride something. The wristbands were much easier...
