AP Only Info Thread Reservation System /Extensions / Refunds

[TTA Rider Matt]

A few learnings from my time on chat with a CM just now...

- As long as it’s linked to MDE, an AP is still a valid ticket, even if not activated yet
- You can book park reservations for length of stay (up to 14 days) with a resort reservation
- You can book up to 3 days of park reservations at any one time on an AP without a resort reservation
- Park reservations will open at 7am on the respective days you’re eligible to book

You can also book up to 12 people, but she made it seem like everyone has to have the same kind of ticket. So AP holders and 7 day ticket holders have to reserve separately, based on what she said.

Will this appear on MDE or do I need a new account,. Also I'm going in December with my AP that runs out on March 6th and then going again on March 18th my AP will have expired before my March trip when will I be able to book reservations for March or can't I book till I renew my AP,. Tia

MDE or you can book through the website but it will appear on MDE like any other fp/ADR

I will absolutely report back on Monday with details.

Hi, @yulilin3! I miss the good old days when my morning was spent reading the RotR thread with the great @yulilin3 updates via your daughter!

So AP holders that don't stay on-site are really SOL.

Im not sure if it’s been mentioned yet but it’s there a specific place, on the Disney site, that we have to go to in order to make these reservations?

All circuits are busy

someone mentioned......if I reserved park days for our August/September and possibly December trip I CANNOT then request a refund?

We are on the fence with everything. Covid cases rising, have to fly, no park hopping, and the salt in the wound moved from YC to Poly likely for NBA. We want to be at YC for many many reasons.

Ok got some info
As we know park hopping will not be an option but people are allowed to leave the park and come back to the same park later
Also the system opens at 7am for booking you can use the app or website
No word yet on how many reservations an AP can hold but people with a resort reservation can book for the number of days they have tickets (length of stay) so it will behave just like getting fps

Jesus. If annual passholders without a resort stay cannot book all trips in advance, this is awful for them (me). I live in PA. This is not what I bargained for when I dropped $2400 on park passes.

My AP were finally updated with the new dates. We were set to expire on 6/22 but now they are extended to 10/17/2020.

Yeah, luckily enough for me, I have my trip booked on property, but the first thing I thought of was the Florida residents who are passholders who have to wait 4 days...I didn't even think of out of state passholders. Sorry man, that's frustrating.

 

[meryll83]

Anyone managed to check if there’s a rolling window for bookings throughout the year, or is everyone able to go in at once?

I think his frustration is that ticket holders with resort reservations get 4 days of planning before he can get on and make reservations. My guess would be it'll be pretty slim pickin's by the time he gets on 6/26. Maybe I'm wrong and overestimating how many people fall under both conditions of ticket holder and resort reservations, but that's a big population to contend with, and now, be less prioritized than.

Yes, but only three days. I have four trips I'm trying to plan in advance. That's like 24 park days. I don't live in Orlando I live 1000 miles away. No park hopping is bad enough.

 

[grannyminnie]

It looks like it.
No type of wording on number of reservations you can hold at a time

And piggy-backing on this question, what if I have an AP but my sister doesn't have tickets yet? Will I just buy her tickets when I make the reservation for us? (for this fall)

I agree. They should at least let AP holders book 7 days like we could with FP+. That wouldn't cover all of non-local AP holders travel plans but it would help.

I have a place 3 miles from parks. I live in Harrisburg, PA, 990 miles away. I have trips planned for July, August, October, November that represent probably 24 park days. It's bad enough that I can't use the pass to park hop at my leisure. But fine, I understand why--occupancy concerns and they can hold me to the fire of the terms and conditions as it relates to park closures.

But Disney can control the ability to allow me to at least reserve all those days in advance....but they are not. I'm getting 3 days. 3. How can I conceivably plan ONE trip, let alone four, when I can't guarantee admission to any more than three days in advance.

I think I want my entire time remaining on my pass refunded. This is a considerable change to the terms and conditions.

 

[randumb0]

I'm just going to take the refund and buy another voucher. What are they chances they increase the price anytime soon? I know it's just speculation at this point

Where was that said? You can't cancel the park reservations if need be and get a refund?

 

[Miffy]

My AP's a renewal, so it was 15% cheaper than buying a new one. But I have zero idea if I'm going to be able to use it anytime between now and next July, which is when it should expire since my original expiration date was March 6, 2020 (now March 6, 2021 + whatever they give me). Even worse for me, I used a JetBlue credit card for the AP renewal so I could get the air travel points, so if I get a refund, I'm assuming I'm going to also lose the 40K points I got, which, btw, I've not yet been able to use.

Covid, go away!!!! That's an order.
