Blockouts extended for June

[joxer1014]

More days made available with a little more advance notice. Still no weekends, obviously, but only M-W for AK and EP for both self admit and MEP with MK only self admit while TH-F is only self admit for AK and EP with no MK at all. Better than nothing I guess

Tried to book but dates are all taken!!

Yep. Tried myself right after I posted. Was only able to book self admit and nothing else then. MEP was showing available as well but could not reserve. Must have given them out with an eye dropper again. Looks like you have to get up at the butt crack of dawn everyday jut to see if anything else becomes available or when the next round of days gets posted.

On the Hub. Kind of funny because it is of little value since there is no availability during the dates that were lifted.

As a Walt Disney World Cast Member, you get the distinct privilege of complimentary access to the theme parks. While, recently, your complimentary admission pass has been blocked out, we’ve got some news to share…some block-out dates are being lifted!

While theme park reservations are still required and subject to limited availability, there’s opportunity for you to enjoy the magic.

Who decides this? Who in their right mind lifts blockout dates when the parks are sold out? The only thing they are doing is insulting our intelligence.

I agree. Makes no sense. Wish they had a place on the Hub where we could express our feelings about this. They get our hopes up only to find out we can’t go because they are booked up.

I keep saying the squeaky wheel....please, PLEASE contact guest relations through the hub or even the contact option at the comp tickets/ MEP tab and complain! You may get the generic response but at least they will notice similar complaints and eventually, hopefully, take notice.

I do not see the contact us option.

I do not see the contact us option.

I am a retiree and at the bottom of the main page there is a contact us option.

I don’t see that. Just a side note, Epcot had availability for today for MEP and guest passes. I’m here with friends. Just have to check every day and make a last minute reservation.

 

[joyjanet]

They opened all 4 parks today for CMs and guest passes. Maybe things are going to get better.

It is encouraging but dont get your hopes up just yet.

Just saw this on the Hub:

The Summer is here, which means it’s time for fun in the sun – and what better place to enjoy the summer than at Walt Disney World Resort theme parks?

As we continue our phased approach to fully reopening all of our businesses, Cast Members with a Main Entrance Pass, Self-Admission or One-Day Park Hopper® Guest Tickets can now check for theme park reservations to make a same-day reservation for entry after 3 p.m. at select parks.

Theme park reservations for after 3 p.m. admission will be released on a day-by-day basis at 3 p.m. Theme park reservations for this after 3 p.m. program may only be made on the same day and cannot be made in advance.

How to Make a Theme Park Reservation for After 3 p.m.:
Step 1: Visit blockoutdates.disney.com on the day you wish to visit a theme park and check to see if the theme park you wish to visit is not blocked out for your selected ticket type.

• On the day of your visit, look for the update that states “Until 3:00PM – BLOCKED” – this means reservations are currently blocked but can be checked for the selected theme park and ticket type at 3 p.m.
• After 3 p.m., you will see “Check for Reservations” in blue next to your specific ticket type, which means you can check to see if any theme park reservations are available – park reservations are limited and subject to capacity and availability.

Not sure it will be worth trying to come down this summer from NY. We love getting to the parks early and usually leave by 2 or 3 for kids naps and swimming. Then back to the parks till closing.

It is not intended to help out of state CMs, but I can understand that. I am very glad it will help local CMs enjoy the parks a bit this summer.
