Is it easy to modify Park Pass Reservations?

[Rebecca Pocahontas]

I know you can't actually "modify" the reservation. I have to cancel and then book another one, but I am thinking of maybe changing one of my reservations. This would be for next week and all the parks are currently listed as green for availability. If I changed it I would be doing it almost a week in advance, but I am just wondering if it is an easy enough process of cancelling the one park reservation and then immediately booking one for that same day.

It all depends on availability. You would need to cancel the first reservation then rebook the new park the same way you initially did. If all parks are green it should be easy. If the parks begin to fill up (not sure if that's happening now) then it could be more challenging.

I rebooked a park recently for days right before the 50th. All the parks were green and if there was limited availability, I don't think I would have tried it. I made sure there was availability in every category (resort guests, AP, ticket holders). It was definitely nerve wracking, even though I was confident I would get the other parks. I cancelled the people involved and immediately made new park passes.

I think the trouble comes in when people 'forget' and leave it until later. Do it right away and you should be fine.

We wanted to change our HS day to MK this past Saturday at the end of our trip and couldn't. No availability. We were offsite, though. Didn't check availability for onsite or AP categories.

As others suggested, it comes down to availability. We canceled park reservations to MK one day in advance and made a new one for animal kingdom. It was easy- but like you said you have to cancel the current resound make a new one

Depends on the day. We had trouble with 1 day in April. otherwise had no issues. As I read it now, with increased capacity, it seems like modifying park passes has become easier.

The real problem comes when most of the parks & their buckets are full. If everything is green, you should be able to get into a park - at one point, you could have been risking having nothing.

I’m going tomorrow and just rebooked my park passes tomorrow. Switched to HS no problem.

A couple of weeks ago I switched a day from MK to EP the night before. It was easy. It helps that EP is pretty much always green - I might be a little more nervous doing it last minute with MK or DHS, which sometimes are unavailable. But if you're doing it for next week, I think you're probably fine as they are all green.

I swapped my days for Oct 5 and 6 and was pretty scared doing it, but I didn't have any problems. I switched MK and HS so that MK was on Wed for the extra evening hours the day it was announced.

Can you change the day of the reservation if there is availability?

Can you change the day of the reservation if there is availability?

Yes. Just change before you enter a park, of course!

 

[MakiraMarlena]

Just check the availability of your bucket for the new park before you cancel the old one...but yeah, it's easy. Even the day of, so long as there is availability.

Also I don't believe you need a park reservation for that park to attend Extra Evening Hours... I hope so as my reservation is for AK but Extra Evening is at Epcot.

(Been looking it up...you can hop after 2 if you have hopping capability, if you don't then you need to have a park reservation for the Extra Evening park.)

I remember a few years ago, that I could change dining by making a new ADR and toward the final step MDE would give an error that I already had a conflicting ADR. I then had the option of cancelling the older ADR in favor of the newer ADR or not making the new ADR while keeping the old ADR. I would like to see this option become available for park reservations too. I did change a couple park reservations for an upcoming trip but was panicked until I saw the new reservations on "my plans" in MDE. I don't mind too much having to make the park reservations - I would mind it even less if changing was an option rather than cancelling first to make a new reservation. JMHO

We did a switch the day of last week when I had MK booked but decided that we wanted to skip the parks in the am and just go to Epcot in the evening for the Food and Wine Festival.
