What's the point of giving them out when you leave???

Maybe WDW wanted to make sure cast members where checking for wristbands and not just looking for lanyards? Might be someone made a scene at the last DAH event when they only had a lanyard and not a wristband?

I much prefer a wristband that can't be shared.

Splash and Space are down.

Splash and Space are down.

Not good! I hope the crowds are good Wait time on the app look pretty good! Can anyone please confirm if they let people in at 6:00?

Just got here. No lanyards, only a wrist band. When I asked about the lanyard, the CM said they are giving them out when you leave.

Oh snap! Removing any chance of cheaters but still giving the lanyards as a “souvenir.” Good decision on their part!

Hopefully they do the same thing for 9/20--i'd love the lanyard as a souvenir!

If we can believe the app (which can sometimes be off on events like this), 10 min wait for 7DMT 1 hour into the event doesn't seem all that bad from what I have observed over the summer.

Just got off 7D. It was right 10 wait

Times have been very low Brayden from Mickey Views is live streaming it and he mentioned something about the lanyards not being ready for tonight's event?

Cool, thanks Angi! Now get off the DIS and go have fun!

Interesting about the lanyard situation but I’m really glad Disney was able to go to wristbands. Also great to see 10 minute waits for 7dmt! That’s what dah should be about.

Not a fan of Tomorrowland Speedway and Space mnt only running one side.
What could be 5-7 min waits ended up being 17 min and 18 min each

What time did y'all get into the park?

They’re only running one side of space? That’s strange.

We had a great time! Entered the park around 7 (they had been letting people in for a while though; we just had other plans) and had time for Barnstormer, Dumbo, small world and trying the candy corn milkshake before the fireworks. Rode BTMRR twice during the fireworks! Tried for Splash but it went down just as we were boarding. Smoke from the fireworks, they said.

Time for Peter Pan (10 min wait), carousel, haunted Mansion, tangled lantern photo, Jungle Cruise, Pirates, and 3x in a row on 7DMT. Done by 11:20 (we’re near the end of an action-packed trip).

Crowds were super low - excellent. After 9:30, everything was practically a walk-on. The app said 15m for some character meets and 5-10 for everything else.

Totally worth it; I hope they keep having this event and don’t oversell it!!

Splash mnt was closed at 905 when we were on that side and we never made it back

Space mnt was only running 1 side and Tomorrowland was only running 4 car load stations so both those waits said 10 min at 1030 but were 17-18 min each.

Did you get to stay on 7dmt or have to get off each time?

 

[lvcourtneyy]

They just handed us lanyards on the way out of the event lol

 

[lvcourtneyy]

We were on Splash when it went down. The lights came on and the music and animatronics stopped. Very creepy

 

[Lsdolphin]

I had the same thought but I guess they already had them made before they had to change the policy and some people keep them at souvenirs. Maybe?

I went tonite and asked and I was told exactly what you said...lanyards were already made but due to issues w/people sharing the lanyards as has been reported on these boards they made the change to wristbands. They decided to just give out the lanyards out as souvenirs.

I much prefer a wristband that can't be shared.

Not a single person asked to see our wristband tonight
