Changing Park Reservations

[disneymouse16]

I was wondering how late can you change a park reservation? Has anyone happened to change their start reservation the morning of? If there is availability can you change that late? We have three day park hoppers starting at Disneyland two days but depending on if my DD's favorite ride is still Guardians of the Galaxy we might want to start at CA Adventure again.

I don't know for sure about DL, but I'd assume it's the same as WDW.

At WDW you can cancel/book your reservation at any time, including 'same day reservations' as long as there are openings. The thing to remember is that you aren't 'changing' or 'modifying' a reservation, you are completely canceling one and then booking a whole new one. You can't hold on to your existing reservation, book the new one, then cancel the old one. Just be sure to check the calendar first for availability and book the new park immediately as the procedure means you are taking the (hopefully) slight chance that in between cancelling your existing and then going back to the calendar to select your 'new' reservation, the reservation is no longer available. In other words, there is no guarantee so I'd make any change as soon as I could.

That being said, I cancelled three park reservations (not 'day of' though) at WDW and didn't have a problem booking a new park reservations.

Thank you! Maybe if we decide to change that last day I'll just go to guest services before leaving.

IDK if 'park reserving' something that GS does. Even if they do I don't think they'd be able to 'hold' your current reservation on your account whilst booking a new one. The WDW system is 'set' so that you can't hold 2 park reservations for the same day, I'd assume DLR's is the same way.

Before I decided to rely on GS being able to do it, I'd call DLR and find out if they even can.

I don't have a current reservation. But previously the confirmation email had this language on it. There doesn't appear to be a penalty defined, like there is with the new Magic Key program (or former Flex Pass). So my guess is you will be able to change; but you need to confirm availability of the other Park before attempting the switch.

"Need to Cancel?
If your travel plans change, please cancel as soon as possible to give other Guests the opportunity to visit the park. Theme park reservations can be cancelled until 11:59 PM on the day prior to your scheduled visit. "
