How to reserve park when you buy tickets only

[Hockeychic]

hello all

i am from Canada and my husband has some perks through his benefits and 1 is we can buy Disney park only tickets….no resorts

i haven’t been to Disney since the new reservation system. How do we reserve a park when tickets are bought elsewhere? Is this even possibl?

thank you

You link the tickets into MDE and it should give you the option to make reservations regardless of where you buy your tickets

Yes, you have to go to Disney’s official website . If you done have a MDE account, you’ll need to make one. Not sure if this link will work, but here goes

Thank you both for the quick response I wasn’t sure it was even possible. I was hoping the reservation system would go away but doesn’t look like it will

There's a good chance the reservation system is here to stay.

Hopefully you can get your tickets linked and make park reservations. If not, it might mean a call to Disney for their assistance.

How far in advance can you book park reservations? We just booked for next year, October 2023, and want to make them as soon as they are available

Go to Disney’s APR site now and see how far ahead they are currently allowing APRs. That should give you a rough idea.

January 18, 2024. In other words, your October 2023 dates are already available.

I purchased tickets from Undercover Tourist. In MDE, it asked for my park ticket number for each person in my account, so that linked the ticket to the person. It was super easy.
