I am going to respond to my own prior post and give first hand info from this past weekend (Columbus Day weekend). We had to change from our planned WDW trip to DLR one week before the trip. So OBB tix were obviously sold out (we had tickets to the Halloween event in WDW but weren’t going there now…). We stayed at the DLH in a Premium View room (NOT club level) as that was the only thing I could get after checking incessantly for days (we booked one week out from the trip). Upon check in, no mention was made of OBB tickets, but when I asked about them, she said they had a limited number of day-of tickets for resort guests. I was instructed to come down “before 6am” on the day of the party, and I would be put on a list.
On Sunday ( day of the party), I went to the front desk of the DLH at 05:15am (The things we do for our kids…). I had to give my room key and DL, and she made a note of my name and how many tickets I wanted. She made a sticky note for each family; I was told I was the second family on the list, so I should get tickets. I was told I could go to my room or get coffee but I had to be back prior to 0600. At 0600, a different CM called up the first family and processed their tickets, charging them to the room with the room key. This felt like it took an eternity since they said all 3 hotels pull from the same, very, very limited ticket inventory the day of, until they are out. The front desk CM had told all families from #7 on the list and onward that they might not get tickets. I was called as the second on the list, and I got my 2 tickets!!! So excited!!
