park reservations?

[disneydad1]

I thought Disney ended the practice of requiring theme park reservations for admission to WDW parks.

My family has some comp'd park hoppers that don't expire until 2032 which Disney issued to address a problem we had on a prior visit.

My wife is planning to use a day this June and when I used the app to double check that the ticket was linked, it had me make a park reservation for her.

Does anyone know why?

perhaps because it was not a date-based ticket? As i understand, when you have a date-based ticket you don't need a reservation, and if it's a "good to go" day for passholders you do not need a reservation.

Some ticket types are still required to make park reservations such as comped tickets, military, group tickets and all annual passholders.

Any ticket that isn't date-based (like comp tickets, Annual Passes, etc) still need park reservations.

So complicated! DH has one day left on a 10 day non-expiration ticket I bought years ago, so I made him a park reservation on May 2 using that. Then I bought him a 2 day ticket good April 28-May 1. Planning to stop at guest services before entering a park on April 28 to make sure the right ticket gets used.

I found a ticket I think is another 10 day non-expiring ticket I will try to add to my account when we are there for future use. Really wish I had bought more of them before they were discontinued! We both have so many plus options left over we can go to a waterpark for many years to come.
