Oh, I actually thought it was only for DVC owners.
Is their reservation linked to their MDE? And is their DVC membership linked to their MDE as well?
They received an email from DVC saying they were eligible to register today. The actual registration process failed.
Oh no! So sorry!
Maybe because Epcot MM still shows availability because Epcot has the highest park capacity of the theme parks?
Yes & yes
Exactly & accordingly to DVC MS, we surely weren’t the only ones in same situation this AM
from what I’ve seen reported here, MK seems to go the fastest; followed by mgm
Last year they added some nights at Typhoon Lagoon on short notice.
I don’t remember there being any events during that time. Once upon a time there was a dvc holiday event at Epcot, but wasn’t a MM event. I agree, with all the parties and the higher crowds, I doubt it. I’m there late October/early November but not expecting anything.
How far in advance do the guests need to be updated typically on a registration or do they specify for each one? We're going to be there for the 5/11 one. I currently have 7 separate reservations for 8 days because I gradually grabbed a day at a time as days opened up (Riviera standard view studio - had a full reservation for the stay, but wanted to stay at Riviera - was able to eventually get the whole week from individual days popping up). I didn't bother putting anyone else on the reservations because I was going to do it when I eventually got them combined into 1. I finally got around to calling Member Services a week ago, but they still haven't been combined. I guess I should go through each reservation and add wife and kids to it now, but I feel like that's going to invite a problem with them combining them or something since I'm making a change after asking them to be combined (I know that shouldn't be - but it's Disney IT).
Oh, ok. No rush then. I've been getting a little frustrated since it's been a week and they're not combined - I waited a while to call, but now that I finally did, I'm a little antsy to get the reservation updated and put into MDE. I kind of waited until I was ready to start doing other stuff, and thought that it would be like it was in the past where it was done while I was still on the phone. I've still got a month until dining reservations, so it's not a particular rush, but I hadn't thought about moonlight magic being an issue. It sounds like it's still going to be a while before they open up the DHS ones. It would be nice if it was a lot sooner - I'd like to start planning our days and meals. It's going to be especially frustrating if they announce dates for After Hours into May - will need to decide whether we want to do that or just stick with Moonlight Magic and Extended Evening Hours (obviously if we don't get MM, that would factor in).
The planner in me gets frustrated when they can't do this quicker. They used to do it while I was on the phone with MS. My last merge (my final day came available) took a bit over a week. It'd be nice if they offered the option for us to merge online, with the program checking to see that both reservations match up.
