Park and hotel reservation

[longboard55]

If you have reservations at one of the 3 disneyland hotels, are you always able to get park reservations. Has anyone ever been shut out

A hotel reservation does not guarantee a park reservation - book your park reservations as soon as you have tickets!

This is technically true per their official verbiage but generally speaking the onsite hotel "bucket" seems to be pretty much bottomless and always has park reservations available.

Currently, the reservation system is shutting me out for the end of August as a guest of Grand Californian. I have a 3 day ticket, within the 120 day window to reserve for Aug 29, 30 and 31. , But Aug 26 through 31 is hashed out as "days not available" for my tickets. Have not been able to get a straight answer from Disney chat or via email yet. I may have to cancel my package and do tickets separately, as the parks are "wide open" for non hotel guests on those days (per the chat CR and when I look at the stand-alone system). Makes me rethink staying there at all - as its a lot of money for this kind of hassle.

Yikes! Does seem to be a glitch with your tickets. Just to be sure- you don't have a Magic Key in your account it thinks you're trying to book on or anything, do you?

You can see here that the hotel "bucket" also shows open for those days.
Reservation Availability Calendar for all Ticket Types

I stayed at Disneyland Hotel earlier this week. It was very last minute and the calendar showed no park availability at all. I was able to make the reservation 2 days before my trip through the hotel bucket.

Nevermind - I am getting help and they are fixing the issue. Whew

Did you maybe already have reservations booked? Check under Future Plans.

I don't think the resort bucket is bottomless. I've seen some days book up in the busiest time periods. I'm booking for early June and one of my days only has Disneyland not DCA availability (which basically is forcing me to get a parkhopper).
