Blockout dates!?!?

[PatMcDuck]

I booked next trip in late September, used to be a slow time. So I thought, CMs will be allowed in. But, maybe not. And I can't wait to make park reservations until late August. Here we go again.

We had a great stay at BLT (one night) and Riviera. Those Skyliners are amazing.

We just loved the Skyliner too!! We stayed at AoA which wasn’t really on my favorites list after I stayed there the first time years ago, but it might have a spot there now just because of the Skyliner stop. I wish we could get non-pirate rooms at Caribbean...we used to stay there a lot but I can’t remember the last time I saw a regular room there available to book on the hub, it’s always the pirate ones. Really, really hoping they expand the Skyliner at some point to other resorts and parks or even Springs.

Does anyone know if you can hop when only one Park is available for the reservation?

If anyone is interested, blackout is lifted for EPCOT with your MainGate Monday thru Thursday only for next week. That's May 10th through the 13th. I know it's not much but a start for MainGate

Thank you! I was pretty sure that all of my one-day Chip and Dale tickets were just going to expire in September because of the block-out dates. This gives me a bit of hope.

You're welcome. Hopefully it is a sign of more to come.

They were lifted but impossible to get a reservation. I tried for all 4 days and nothing was available.

A friend of mine got Tuesday and Wednesday the day I posted the notice. Are you trying for just you, or you and guests? Maybe that makes a difference? She was doing just her.

Yep. God forbid they update the blockout calendar accordingly.

I tried for me only and also tried for 1 guest. Guess you need to check it every 5 minutes

and there is still nothing posted for after May 31st...

She got May 18th and 20th for Epcot too now. Keep trying. I am a former Disney Store CM. I no longer get free access so I have an AP. My friend is retired and retired with a MainGate. It's so hard to coordinate park days with her because of CM blackouts. She has been trying to use her guest passes and can't. So looks like they are still blacked out. Keep trying. She was able to get her reservations by going through the My Disney Experience Ap. The blackout calendar wasn't updated on the other site

AK opened up for self admit May 18-20 as well as EC. Talk about giving them out with an eye dropper.

Thanks for that heads up. She just switched one of her Epcot days and I switched one of mine using my AP.
