AP Only Info Thread Reservation System /Extensions / Refunds

If the days are held in separate pools for resort reservations and AP/offsite reservations then why should AP users that do both offsite and onsite stays not be allowed to draw from both pools? I've been successful in getting both onsite and offsite reservations; at least for the moment, until IT decides to remove "my extras".

Honestly, I feel like since this system is so new, no one there even knows the logistics of it. So many CM's were misinformed regarding resort changes due to closures and some even still are. I'm sure it's a 14 day total, including the 3 AP days, and if you hold any more than 14, you have to modify them before the extra are automatically dropped off. That's just my view on it. I have 8 days currently booked through resort reservations and I saw this morning that I can do 3 more in the system as an AP.
 
A simple explanation please. I have a Weekday Select. I booked 3 days this morning for Oct 7-8-9, for my birthday. My wife wants to go in Dec. to see the Christmas decorations. I can not book Dec. 7th Do I have to wait till my Oct dates are used up to make plans for Dec? If so, this is basically is no longer a pass.

I'm an hour away, so I can't run over in September without a park pass to gain entry? Which I can not book without giving up one of my October days. Really?

Unfortunately, you can currently only hold 3 park reservations at any given time as an AP, unless you have a resort reservation (however, this is conflicting information given in this area as well).
 
So, my pass is worthless until October?
It's just the policy for now. If you want any additional days, you have to make a resort reservation. It doesn't make much sense for local AP's, but I'm sure this is just a way to make up for lost revenue because onsite ticketholders/AP's can hold up to 14 days at a time.
 
i have a 4 night stay in july at the WDW Dolphin - was able to get park passes for those 4 days in July.

Tired this morning to make remaining AP park reservations for the end of the year -- but have "reached my max"......anyone else having this issue? I'm not understanding this limit on AP holders....

I think they brought out the random number generator again to determine how many off site park reservations an AP user can obtain.

So, Disney changed the rules on a stated standard we both agreed to when I purchased the pass?
 
thanks! i've tried a couple different times today to see if maybe i'll get lucky and be able to make more reservations... keeping my fingers crossed!
 
Health dept reported almost 9K new covid cases in Florida today, this might all be a moot point.

I’m still going to send a useless email to guest relations. i can’t wait for the canned respon
 
I realize I'm just venting here, but...

Why on earth did WDW not address and take care of the AP situation before releasing this park reservation system?! They could have saved themselves and their guests a whole lot of stress and aggravation. Had they just done as so many of us asked weeks and months ago - cancel our APs - there would be that many less people trying to figure out what to do now, and that many more satisfied guests likely to return in the future. I'm an AP holder of nearly 30 years who's rolled with many, many punches, but this ridiculous mess is alienating even me.

I continue to wait until "early July" to cancel, but every week I'm less and less likely to bother with another AP in the future. And I have no hope at all that it will be a simple process once "early July" comes...
 
Okay so I was able to reserve a day even though mde site is still not showing me I have an AP. Whatever, progress I guess.
 
I am not mad with Disney right now, just a bit disappointed. For the limited access that passholders are getting I believe there should be some sort of compensation for those that are sticking with it since we really aren't getting what we signed up for. The other concern I have is that I have three days for a resort trip all the way in January. For some reason, I guess because of that, I am only allowed to pick two days rather than three right now outside of that stay. I am holding on to some optimism that this will work itself out, but Disney is making a pass renewal seem more and more unlikely.
 
I still haven't got response from Disney about my AP. I'm going to call them and let them know my displeasure.
 
How can they still open with these kind of increases?
The governor always said that theme parks can have the go-ahead to open after submitting reopening plans when we're in Phase 2. However, he stated yesterday that we're not going into Phase 3 for a while. I don't see a formal executive order to revert back to Phase 1, but local municipalities are becoming more strict (ex. Orange County amongst other counties making masks/facial coverings mandatory whereas before it was sort of a "do your part to slow the spread and wear a mask" but not required). We're still also at 50% max. capacity for restaurants, bars, and entertainment venues and will be for a long time.
