Does the "Resort" park reservations bucket still exist?

I know that we used the Resort bucket this summer for park reservations, but does it still exist? I can't see it online (I don't have a resort reservation yet), but I have the link that OP put here last summer, and I can see the calendar. It shows available reservations for some dates that are full on the 1 day and the Park hopper reservations calendars.
 
Yes that is what I am referring to! If we stay onsite, I want to make sure we can use that "bucket" of reservations, since the PH and one day ticket reservations are not available for some of our dates.

I completely agree that it is terrible that if you have a MK and you are staying onsite that you can't use whichever bucket is the least restrictive for the dates. I hope you have all complained about that one to Disney!!

Good luck! I hope you're able to access it. I find this new reservation system SO user-friendly. NOT!!!!!
 

Do you mean the Hotel Guests bucket? That exists, but I don't know anything about a Resort bucket. https://disneyland.disney.go.com/av...egments=ticket,ph,ap,resort&defaultSegment=ap I was disappointed to read on another thread that you can't use the Hotel Guest bucket if you have a Magic Key, even if you are staying on site. That seems unfair!
We have magic keys, and just got reservations through the hotel bucket. When I tried to get reservations originally, there was no availability for next weekend. Attached the hotel reservation to my account, and there was availability.

Oh thank you for that information! My problem is a little different. I have a magic key and made 4 reservations for my Dec trip with the MK (staying on site). I then had the chance to go in Nov. for 3 days, staying at DLH. I was able to make 2 reservations and had hoped to make the 3rd with the hotel bucket, but I guess if you have used your 6 MK reservations, you can't access the hotel bucket for another.

Yes, it seems what is restricting you is the reservation number limit for MK, not the hotel reservation. My understanding is that staying onsite does not allow a MK to have more than 6 reservations at a time, but it should allow you access to a different reservations calendar that may have more availability.

My DD and I just booked a trip, and at first glance, it would not show me the hotel bucket. I called and the CM made me clear the browsers, and open in Google Chrome only. That was the trick, and it worked.
