You will have no problem if arriving using Disney transportation.
And thereās no check prior to boarding Disney transportation at the parks?
Not that Iāve heard. There certainly wasnāt pre covid.
Logic? We donāt need to stinkinā logic!
As someone who is UBER protective of my MK walkway from the Contemporary, Iāve been wanting this from the moment I signed my DVC contract. I am the unofficial Get Off My Lawn lady after all.
I get Security trying to make magic by letting people in, but it really does set up someone for an unpleasant experience like @vcka had when you have a new guard sticking to the rules.
Whatās funny is the different responses @amvanhoose_701479 and @vcka had from two official sources.
Since my last post we have made two more MOs and gate guards have let us in w/o issues. They ask to see the MO on MDE and a photo ID. Last resort was Rivera and there was no questions about where we were staying.
So you just donāt hit āprepare my foodā until after security?
I canāt recall the screens from our last trip. I just played with an order. I stopped at the āpurchaseā button.
ETA: I didnāt realize all the mobile ordering locations have pictures of every dish! Now Iām off on another rabbit trail. That may involve some drooling.
You can cancel/edit an order up until youāve hit āIām here, prepare my foodā. And you canāt select that until prompted about 5 min b4 your selected order window. The last 2 MOs I got to gate b4 I was able to hit āprepareā but the guard can see your time window.
To add to what @vcka said, you can also edit the time slot after youāve submitted the order. So if youāre running late or a little early, you can change the time before hitting āIām hereā.
Sitting at poly waiting for food from captain hooks. The gate guard asked to see the MO but also asked me to scroll down and he wrote down my order number. They didnāt do that at Rivera yesterday ??? But donāt careā¦ Iām in. Iām happy. Iām hungry.
The Poly guards seem a little extra-zealous
Yay!!
Totally !
Itās especially weird when you consider the construction and the fact that thereās no reason for people to go there to get an advantage getting into the park. I mean, I guess you could walk to MK via GF, but I donāt imagine many people are up for a 30 minute walk just to avoid the bus.
I think it is more likely people are trying to avoid paying to park than necessarily trying to save time. Although parking at Poly someone could walk to TTC and take the monorail to save time as well. (Or at least be about the same.)
Yes, good point. They do have the shuttle boat too. GF, WL, camp G all have a boat shuttle to MK. It is an easy walk to TTC though. Maybe? Obviously thereās been something to cause their gate guards to act so differently.
I wasnāt talking about you specifically!
ohā¦ I figured but it gave me that ideaā¦maybe it would actually help? Seeā¦ hereās my AP, I donāt need FREE parking
What a day a guard makes . Todayās guard at the poly barely glanced at MDE , ID. .
Somewhat related tangent question: when Iām at Poly and I want to go to Contemporary the fastest/easiest way right now is probably TTC via monorail, right? But if I wanted to go to GF we should walk?
