The cool thing about this is it has the opposite park than the EMH/MM crowd. I imagine it will be really dead, if the summer trial was any indication.
Now I know I am going in Feb for a weekend...I have been toying with the idea. LOL

No advanced reservation is needed. If your AP is blocked out that day you need to buy a blockout day ticket.

Another AP perk. Disney loves us AP holders!

Excellent! Thanks for the headsup!

No pre-registration?! I'm in love. This is going to be awesome paired with the limited-time magic stuff happening next year.

I'm guessing the no registration will mean more crowds than the previous AP EE but it makes it nice to be able to go multiple days or without pure-planning!

Are you talking about January 19 and 20th? (Just happens to be my daughter's birthday weekend, too). That's the weekend of the Tinker Bell Half Marathon. There's a 5K on Saturday, and the Half Marathon on Sunday. Both races run through the parks, so the parks won't/can't be open early to guests.

I know it's a bummer. I'm actually running the Half Marathon on Sunday. And we're celebrating my daughter's birthday with a weekend trip and stay at a hotel, too. I'm going to be exhausted!

As the prices on annual passes rise I bet we will see more of these type of offerings like early entry and lottery for the candlelight , fantasmic party, soundsational etc etc

Re: DLR offering AP EE on select weekends from Jan 5 to April 14, 2013

I'm gonna be there!!!Sounds like we just go in, and don't need to sign up like the summer promotion.

Re: DLR offering AP EE on select weekends from Jan 5 to April 14, 2013

Yes...you just go to the turnstiles...no pre-registration. It should be easy for the CM's because you only need an AP to get in...no onsite guests (unless they have an AP) or the PH MM crowd.

Re: DLR offering AP EE on select weekends from Jan 5 to April 14, 2013

can we go to the same park more than once???

I imagine so, it doesn't say you can't. It's not like last summer where we had to reserve an EE for a specific park and could only get one EE in each park.

Re: DLR offering AP EE on select weekends from Jan 5 to April 14, 2013

As far as I know, there is no limit like there was over the summer.

What areas of the parks are typically open for EE?

Re: DLR offering AP EE on select weekends from Jan 5 to April 14, 2013

I'm almost tempted to renew my passes

Re: DLR offering AP EE on select weekends from Jan 5 to April 14, 2013

In DL it's just like Magic Mornings, Fantasyland and Tomorrowland. In DCA they only had EE and Extra Magic Hours since Carsland opened. All of DCA has been open though not every attraction, but all the major ones.

In DL the crowds get well distributed over the two lands. In DCA they focused on Carsland and the rest of the park was almost empty.
