Age restrictions at on-site resorts?

How old do you have to be to book a room at ANY of the on-site resorts? 18? 21?

Thanks, nice little Google trick there that I had no idea about.

At the moment, that's the only way to search here at PB.

Is it 21 for all of them or does it vary?

21 for all the Cedar Fair owned properties.

Am I reading this wrong?

Looks to me like 18 year olds can book a room. If correct that is a change from years past.

That is strange, the text does read that you can be 18. But it has always been 21 in the past.

Alright, so it must be 18 now.

This may be confusing, but it's what I found from the website.

1) "To reserve a room online, guests must be 21 years or older or accompanied by a parent or legal guardian during their stay."

It's a bit confusing as to if they mean 21 to stay, or just 21 to book online. I may call tomorrow to ask because if it's 18 I will deffinetly be staying at a CP resort.

Also, is this new?

Wow. That's quite impressive. It looks like its a requested item, not given by default. But, its definitely a step in the right direction. Good for them!

I seem to recall the Resort Card system being in place before, although I think it might have been slightly expanded.

It would be nice if the resort card was valid at all stands and shops. That was one thing that Disney did well. I had my resort ID which was tied to my debit card. I put a limit on it at the desk, so if I hit that, I'd have to contact the resort to ask for more. But it was good everywhere. Table service, counter service, gift shops....even at the food carts.

This is a good step though, I just hope we continue to see it expand.

No problem. Figured I'd go ahead and post the link instead of just telling you how to do it to save some hassle.

- I'm not *always* mean. :)

*gasp*

I think you had other intentions when you posted that link but since the person found it helpful you just rolled with it. I see right through your pseudo-niceness ;).

Another resort question that I have is this:

I have never stayed on site before but I have decided to do it this year and stay at Lighthouse point. Now the main reason that I am doing this is because I am not going to get a season pass this year and still would like early entry to the park. The question is - how do you get in early on your first day there, before you check in? Do they send you something in the mail?

You have to check in first. They'll give you a resort ID that will allow you to get in early.

I believe you can check in early in the morning, HOWEVER your cabin may not be ready until later in the day. So you might have to wait until later to actually go and put your stuff inside.

Thats cool - yea we usually get there at like 8am or something - so if we can check in right then it would be cool.

The technical answer is you have to check in first. Check-in opens early, so there is time to check in and still get to the park before early entry. Even though your room isn't ready, they'll still check you in and give you the resort card to get through the gate.

In reality though, you don't NEED the resort card. As many people will tell you, the resort entrance gate never checks to see if you're a hotel guest or not. So, you could just show up early and walk in with the rest of the masses.

To be safe, you should really check in and get the pass though.
