Plan Ahead with Lightning Lane Entry at Walt Disney World Starting July 24

[Dave006]

NYE day single day ticket for only Epcot.

As an on-site guests you will be able to initially enter Epcot without issue in the morning, and when you return later after watching your Bowl Game you will have priority over day off-site day guests with an Epcot 1 day ticket. You will at the same level as other on-site guests that are Park hopping to Epcot.

Is it possible the you would be prevented from re-entering Epcot, Yes. You would be with a much larger group. The only thing to improve your reentry position would be to have an ADR.

If Epcot reached a hard closure you would not want to be in Epcot.

Normally they should enter their own Email address and create their own MDE account and then link to your MDE account using the Friends & Famly option. If your DD is still under 13 she can't officially create her own MDE account.

Yes they could load the MDE app on their own smartphone and simply use your MDE Account Email account and password. But that is not recommended if multiple individuals will be actively managing your plans & activities. For example if 2 of you are trying to make a change at the same time the results can be very unpredictable.

Wow I DL the app on DW phone and tried to link everything together and it's all a mess. The should be so simple but it's a disaster. I can't figure this mess out and I'm a IT professional.

Sorry, I would see this differently. If a guest has a 1 day ticket only good for that park it works like a park reservation and I believe they would be granted access even if park reaches capacity.

In recent years guests with park reservations were always granted access as their reservation was accounted for in the park capacity. I see @abuck75’s ticket the same way and they would be able to re-enter the park.

That is my belief based on the past 4 years with park reservations.

After doing more research I think I have to log into my account and my family and friends and ‘unmanage’ my DW and DD and share an email invite. But I am afraid to do that cause I don’t want to make things worse.

Except if Epcot reaches capacity it is closed to all. Guests wanting to enter or re-enter will not be admitted until guests leave the park. It is a Fire Marshall issue and it is managed appropriately.

In recent years guests with park reservations were always granted access as their reservation was accounted for in the park capacity. I see @abuck75’s ticket the same way and they would be able to re-enter the park.

Yes this is possible until the park enters a Phased Closure cycle. Being an on-site guest as @abuck75 is good until just before the final Phase. That's why I indicated if they were prevented from re-entry they would part of a very large group of guests denied access and yes it is possible.

Personally I don't expect it to be an issue on NYE for Epcot but I always say it is possible.

We’ll agree to disagree on this one (rare for us as our thoughts normally align) and that’s okay too.
