Title: Annual Passports (Fantasy) and Extra Magic Hours
Post by: lynnemcwhinnie on September 15, 2014, 05:48:56 PM
We will be visiting DLP from Tuesday 25 to Saturday 29 November.  We (5 adults) are each intending to buy the Fantasy Annual Passports and therefore should be eligible for Extra Magic Hours using our annual passports.  I am a shareholder and will be able to buy both my and my husbands annual passports using the Shareholder discount, but the other 3 adults will just be purchasing theirs at the front desk.  My question ... if the Fantasy passport allows for EMH ... can we arrive at the front desk at 8am on the Tuesday (1st day) and buy the passports at 8am and  gain entry before the usual non-EMH-crowd and have arrived and taken care of our business at the Annual Passport Bureau?

I thought only the 20th anniversary Fantasy AP would grant you EMH?

I'm afraid that Nathalie is correct and the only AP that gives you access to EMH is Dream. You got EMH with Fantasy during the 20th anniversary only.

The current Fantasy Pass also allows EMH we bought ours last month.

I'm not sure how early you'd be able to access the park - I don't think they let anyone near the ticket booths at 8am unless they are staying at a hotel or have EMH with their Annual Pass - also, they may well not be manned that early. As for getting to the passport office in the park early, I'm not sure it opens before 10.

If any of your party are thinking of paying full price for their passes, check out Discount Ticket Store - www.discount-ticket-store.com adult Fantasy passes are £126. We bought our son's from that site and all was ok.

Sorry, just double checked and EMH IS included!
The last time I was at DLRP (June this year) at least one ticket desk was open when we went in at 0800 so I would assume you can pay for your ticket there and then, enjoy EMH and then organise your ticket at the passport office later in the day. When you have your temporary ticket it should carry all the usual privileges with it which will include EMH.

Yes, when we were there in August there was conflicting information regarding Magic Hours and Fantasy passes. However, there was a big poster in the passport office saying that it was included and we asked several cast members - just to make sure!

At 8am there are cast members checking tickets before they will let you through to the ticket desks. You will have to explain that you want to buy an annual pass and see if they will let you through.
