Most popular park, CM can only hold 3 reservations

[rentayenta]

Good morning!

My Disneyland CM daughter and I will be visiting WDW in Jan 2023. We realized last night she can only hold 3 reservations at a time and we will have 6 park days Mon (holiday) thru Saturday. CM dates have not opened up on the blockout calendar but suspect they will in the next few days.

Which parks book the fastest/are the most popular do you think? We want to visit all 4 parks. She has not been since she was 14 y/o so 10 years ago. My hubby and I went just under 5 years ago.

Thank you for any insights.

DHS and MK "sell out" first on the reservation calendar typically.

MK and DHS for sure but keep in mind you can park hop. Might want to make for Epcot too for guardians VQ. Then plan on starting the other days at AK and hopping to another park in the afternoon

Thank you!!! I forgot about park hopping. How does that work with 4 parks? Its easy at Disneyland as we just hop to DCA or vice versa. Do we have to reserve the park we want to hop to as well?

Not as easy as far as there is quite a bit more distance between parks and you’ll have to take some form of transportation to get to the new park but you don’t have to make a reservation for the second park

This is wonderful news, thank you! I can't imagine any park would hit capacity during out visit in mid-January. Again, thank you so much for the info.

And at WDW park hopping starts at 2pm, not 1pm like at DL. Have a great trip!

They wont hit capacity for park hopping but for CM reservations MK and DHS will likely be blocked out after those first three days. In fact even starting at Epcot might be blocked out. DAK almost always has space so start day 4 + there and then hop to whatever park you want to after 2pm.

Also Keep checking for the “ Bonus” availability for castmembers …
I was able to get a Bonus for myself & my son today for Nov 30 & Dec 1 today.
Included MK and Epcot.
I was very surprised to see they both went thru. Since we also have the 3 day restriction as AP and castmember.
Grab them when they show available! Youcan always cancel

We were finally able to book! We booked MK, DHS, than AK as we have Savor the Savannah our first 3 days. I feel good about getting at least one starting in MK day and DHS.

Keep checking the calendar. I have an AP & when I look at the calendar they will just pop up. I assume it's random & can happen last minute. I am sure it has something to do with attendance numbers based on park reservations & if they are trying to boost things or re-dirct traffic flow.
