Kat gave you some good answers and I agree with her when she said to make your park reservations ASAP. I worry with the anniversary that there may not be a lot left. I have been watching a ton of vlogs and have gotten some really good info from them. There are so that are quit helpful with tips to get into the virtual queue for ROR. I'm really hoping those tips work.
Having to make park reservations out that far is taxing on a lot of folks. Granny and his family are no exception to this. I wish they could come up with something a bit different to handle this as the parks start to fill up quickly and not everyone is in a good position to make decisions way out.
Kathy...thanks so much as always! So the single day admissions are tied to specific dates when I buy them? I’ll just need to take my best guess and adjust later when my daughter’s plans firm up. Thanks again.
I’m still holding out hope that by October they may ease up on capacity limitations. So that might help. Hey it doesn’t hurt to hope.
It absolutely is! While the entire resort is gorgeous at night, my favorite thing to do is walk between the main Lodge and VWL buildings, in particular, headed to the latter. Walking down that planked boardwalk, seeing the lanterns flickering as though they're whispering a secret, hearing the faint chitter-chatter of the crickets, and listening to the haunting strains of Aaron Copland's "Billy the Kid" movement? Nothing says "home" to me at Disney more than this short trek.

I totally understand. Sadly Disney has become more and more like this in the past few years where you need to make your plans set in stone months and months out. There is no room for spontaneity anymore. I'm less than a couple weeks out and there are a couple things I'd like to change and I can't. I know we aren't doing fast passes right now but I'm still flabbergasted that they expect people to make their reservations even for them so far out. It's crazy.
Yes - you can always leave and return from your pre-scheduled park.
If your park pass is for MK then they will definitely let you back in.
So beautiful Bobbi, thanks for sharing!
BUMMER...Ugh, so we were set to go live with our new payroll/hris system on July 1, which meant our planned September trip would be a perfect time to finally breathe. Just found out the date has now been pushed out to September 1. I am not happy.
Kat...I purchased tickets for my daughter and SIL today and you are absolutely correct. I purchased 6 day park hopper tickets and they have 8 or 9 days to use them. Thanks again for all the information that you and others have provided. We are going October 7 - 17 so the good news is all the parks are open for booking right now for that timeframe. The bad news is if we were going before September 21 I could have paid for 4 day passes and gotten 2 days free. Oh well.
I hope you get it straightened out soon. Customer service at Disney World has really taken a dip. I've found being at the window to be far more powerful for standing my ground than over the phone.Does anyone have a different AP holder phone number than 407.939.7277? I still have not received my refund, and trying to get through to a human is nearly impossible. My initial call was last May, and 2 subsequent calls ended with them telling me my request had been submitted, was being processed.
Now I’m reading another thread where people are calling the passholder line and getting call backs to renew or reinstate their AP’s....so I’m sure I’m never going to get through for a dumb refund, at this point it’s just the principle!
Someone posted that any other company with this service model would no longer be a company they would deal with. Now I’m certainly not blaming the CM’s, and I’m well aware these are “unprecedented times” but c’mon, they really don’t have a good system in place, and they need to do better. Sometimes I feel like they know they have a captive audience.
ETA: I actually spoke with a phenomenal CM “Haskel” she really took her time in trying to ascertain why I have not yet received my refund. They still do not know why, and it is being investigated. On a side note, I also was able to put my number on the waitlist to have our AP’s renewed. So hopefully when they do call, I’m not in a zoom meeting

They are big Star Wars fans so I'll go brush up on that whole "boarding group" thing. I don't want to spend too much time on it since it could be completely different by October, but I need to get at least a working knowledge of the whole set up.
Sorry it's affecting your plans! I'd suggest a waitlist as too often we've seen how the refurb times change and they'll reopen inventory and block other times. Otherwise in general I think you'll be fine to book elsewhere at 7 months -or at least we've found the Spring pretty easy to do that other than Easter having more limited selections.
