General questions about the park reservation system

[yulilin3]

FYI I was just able to make a park reservation for tomorrow for DHS, I had and used an MK reservation today, I just checked on a whim

I just booked a vacation package for February. I am trying to reserve my park days. I am having trouble selecting park days. It says I have reached my limit but doesn't explain. Is there a limit to the number of park days I can have booked? I have two other trips planned...could this be the problem?

Are you staying on property? You should be able to book all park days for which you have a resort reservation (and obviously a ticket). Since you said 'vacation package', I am assuming you booked a room on property and a ticket. If that is the case, I think you will need to call to have them sort it out. As an FYI, we have three trips booked (DVC property and Annual Passes). We were able to make park reservations for all three trips.

Hi, we are planning our first ever trip for this fall and I'm hoping someone can help.

My hotel reservation and park tickets are already linked in the MDE.

I am in the process of choosing which park we want to visit on each day of our trip.

If, for example, I were to have park reservations for 2 days for DHS, but we see and do everything we wanted to do after the first day, could we (assuming space is available) change that second day to a different park? In the app (MDE) I assume?

Sorry, much of this is like a foreign language to us!

Thank you!

As of right now, there is no modify option. You can, however, cancel a day and then book in a different park, subject to availability. Also as of right now it has to be done on the website, not the app.

OK; thank you. Hoping they will allow it in the app by the time we arrive (November) because navigating a website from the phone is no fun!

Thank you!

Eh, I don't see much difference. In fact, when the App is acting up (too frequently), I use the website on a browser in the parks often.

I booked through Amex travel and can’t link my resort stay to MDE which means I can’t make a theme park reservation. Has anyone tried making a theme park reservation once you are on site with a cast member at the resort? I see there is availability for resorts guests this weekend for the parks so I’m hoping this will work.

Amex travel should be able to give you a confirmation number that will work with My Disney Experience.

And if you have tickets linked, you can still make park pass reservations. No resort necessary.

They did provide one but I’ve been told that because I didn’t book directly with Disney the confirmation number may take 72 hours to hit Disney’s system to be able to link to MDE. I have an AP but there is no AP availability for the parks on Saturday only for resort guests. We are checking in tomorrow which I didn’t make clear in my original post.

Hopefully it will show up sooner - keep trying to link every so often. I know the Wyndham LBV says 72 hours, but it usually comes into MDE faster.

But worst case scenario, the cast member can certainly get your reservation into MDE if not done before you arrive.

With the new park reservations, can we enter the same park twice? We have an Epcot reservation and we want to enter in the early afternoon and again at night. Is this allowed?

 

[Alice Sr.]

Yes, I asked the same question last week.

 

[tlwfun89]

the ay I seen it the parks close early now

 

[cmrdgrs]

Great question! Thanks for asking it.

Definitely book HS for the two days just in case since it has greatest demand - you have likely gleaned this from your research. You will be able to get next day availability more likely at another park than HS.

You should be able to link the reservation within a day, we use a TA from Dreams and never have an issue linking it ourselves. I recommend calling Disney and getting it fixed by a CM who knows what they’re doing so you’re ready to make your ADRs.

Happy planning!

I assume this has been asked, however, I could not find the post.

Once you scan into, for example, MK can you access MDE and make a new park reservation (based on availability) or does the system not allow?

TIA

 

[osufeth24]

No, you have to wait til the next day

 

[lanejudy]

One per day, there is no park-hopping at this time.

It’s kind of a shame, in a way, if the only reason you are going to DHS and you don’t get a spot in the VQ. But they aren’t allowing it right now.
