How does Disney control the EMH at night? What is to prevent someone who is not at a Disney resort from just staying? I feel like that is more easily controlled in the morning when everyone is entering the park.
They actually can stay. They just can't ride anything. They scan magic bands at each attractions.
No FP during EMH. Yes, they scan to confirm you are an onsite guest.Even if you're not using a FP? They still scan?
Wow, I didn't know that, interesting that they scan to ensure compliance.They scan magic bands at each attractions.
I think so especially if you can get a really discounted room, we had Pop Century twice in the last year for under 100 bucks and then parking was free and they gave you money back for opting out of cleaning the room. I too have a castmember family who gets us in and I work for Hilton so I get my team member rates and usually stay off property. But a trick I did was stay my first night of the trip on property. I was able to link her account to mine and we were able to book fast passes in advance and I got the extra magic hour the day we checked in and the day we departed so we got 2 extra magic hour advantages on a 1 night stay. You can go to the hotel on check in day, park the car, hop on a bus and go to early extra magic hours as well. And yes lines move much faster without fastpass line slowing it down.Due to family that works there and annual pass holders, and essentially a bed and breakfast about ten minutes from the parks I have not been to an extra magic hours in about ten years
Is it still worth it with all the extra rooms added over the years?
