question about emh

[dumbo ears]

:mickey:I have done emh a couple years ago but I remembered that you have to get a wristband of something or else you cant stay. were staying at pop century so we will be able to do emh. My questions are:

1. Do you still have to get a wristband or something?
2. Where do you get the the wristbands and between what times do you get them?

well thanks for any help

yes, you still get a wrist band. each park has a few locations (so if you are already in the park, you don't have to trek back up to the front) to get them. they start giving them out 2 hours (???) before EMH start for that park but you can get them past when they start... we actually didn't go to DHS until an hour into EMH and we just got them at the front of the park. ask any CM and they can tell you exactly where to go.

If they did away with wrist bands how would they now who should be there ??????? Are they going to use a different thing and what??????

I just heard on a podcast that they will use your key to the world card and they'll check it to see show should be in the parks.

You will need to show your resort room key/ID for each member of your party to get wristbands. Under the current rules those without wristbands after the official park closing time are not asked to leave the park. They may stay to shop or eat, but they will not be admitted to any rides or shows.

They are currently testing not using wristbands, but having to flash your room card each time you enter an attraction. I can't imagine this working all too well. Wristbands can be gotten about 2 hours before official closing time at several convenient locations around the parks. You will not have a hard time locating them.

You already have to show your room card to get a wristband, sounds like a pain in the butt to have to show your room card everytime you ride a ride. :confused:

This was tested from Feb. 24 through Feb. 29.

I hope they go back to wrist bands that flashing your room key for every ride sounds like a pain in the butt :mad:

Maybe they could have us do some fancy hand shake/jive:hands: ,that only resort guests know, for proof to get on rides. ok that was dumb sorry.:unsure:
