Update with a
FIX for the multiple AP glitch:
After last night's IT fix, I was able to make park reservations for myself for all our resort stay days (5 in July/Aug; 5 early Nov; 8 over Thanksgiving; 6 in January). DH had park reservations for July/Aug and 2 days over Thanksgiving, but every time we tried to make them for any of our other resort stay dates, the calendar was greyed out.
He waited on hold (passholder #) from 10:40 am EST and just got off the phone at 2:40 pm EST (just to give everyone a time frame; he called OVER 200 times to finally get through).
The CM who assisted him did the following:
She said the problem was that he has both a current AP (exp end of October 2020) and an AP voucher (good through 2030).
She said this is a known glitch, and the fix is to make a dummy account in
MDE. I happened to think of the same "fix" last night, so I actually started to make a dummy account controlled by my husband (the same way he controls our kids' accounts) using his same name, age, etc, but a different middle initial. I psyched myself out and was worried I would royally screw things up if I transferred his AP voucher to the dummy account so I stopped and figured we'd call and handle things today. She used the dummy profile I made last night and transferred his AP voucher to the dummy account, and then replaced my husband on our November (x2) and January resort reservations. Then she made park reservations for the dummy account to match all the ones I and my kids already have.
She said to call back the day AFTER my husband's current AP is set to expire, and they will merge his real MDE profile and the dummy profile. We'll see how that pans out.
***We are slightly worried that the one month AP extension is set to occur in October 2020, and his AP is currently set to expire at the end of October 2020. HOPEFULLY the extension won't interfere with our ability to merge the real and dummy MDE profiles.
We also need to make resort and park reservations for February and March 2021. We'll do so on June 28 using the dummy profile for now.
