Linking a cheaptickets reservation in MDE?

[disneylovinfamilyof6]

I just booked the summer discount with coupon clover20.

How do I link this reservation in MDE? I have an itenerary# from cheaptickets and a confirmation# from them as well. Neither work on MDE. I've done this before but it was last year and the system has changed.

I just booked it, so I wonder if CT is like swan/dolphin and takes 24 hrs to show in the Disney system? Does anyone know?

I'd like to know too. I'm going to book with them this week and cancel my original reservation I have through Disney.

I don't want to have any problems.

I found this thread. Maybe it will help you. Please let me know if you have success and how you accomplished it.

Thnx

Thank you. I found that too. So far, same day cheaptickets and Disney do not seem to have a confirmation number that works in MDE. I plan to call again tomorrow after it has been 24 hrs. I think it must be similar to swan/dolphin in that the reservation doesn't truly post until the next day. I'll update with details tomorrow.

Thank you. I look forward to hearing what happens.

Okay, so this morning (24 hrs from booking) I called Disney again. The booking agent transferred me to the Internet help desk. They verified my information and then provided me with the 12 digit confirmation that begins with a 4. Funny enough, once it's entered onto MDE it shows as the 9 digit # beginning with a 6 that cheaptickets gave me yesterday when I asked for the Disney confirmation #. However even when I tried the 9 digit # that now shows on MDE it didn't work to link the reservation. It's all very weird. Long story short, it's linked now. It was some hassle, but I saved a good chunk of money, so I can deal with the hassle.

Hope this helps you mexi, and anyone else that may be booking this route.
