WDW COVID-19 Operational Changes- Reservation System-Rope Drop Procedures

[Kmasiero]

No tricks working for me. Guess I will be cancelling august and November trips.

I was able to get in and book park reservations, but it only let me book 3 days even though my room reservations are more than that. I'm an AP and everything is linked and showing correctly on MDE, but it just won't let me select any more days. No matter what date of our reservations I pick, it tells me that no parks are available. Anyone else getting this issue?

Yes I have the same problem for October.

After 2.5+ hours I got in. Can't believe it. In Space Mountain hell and the "Dining Reservations" trick did not work. Went straight to Space Mountain countdown again.

The entire calendar now says nothing is available through Sept 26, 2021

Are we thinking that means everything is gone, or it’s a bug?

 

[Chrisvee]

And it won’t let me make any for March either says I’m at limit.

I think there's a limit on how many days you can make even with a hotel reservation and an AP. I just made my Oct trip no problem but my Dec trip got stuck on about half of the days I need - then it's not letting me make anymore... What a drag. Call center not taking any more calls. If this is the case, it would have been nice to know before we started this process...

Refreshed my MDE app and everything is now showing in my plans. I think I can breathe easy now.

I agree, the system is super easy. Definitely appears to be the re purposed FP+ functionality as expected.

Managed to get in and reserve 7 days at the parks we wanted. Just to confirm for those who may be wondering:

• We are a DVC reservation
• We had a mix of APs and multi-day hopper ticket
• There was a button to select time, but there was only the one button (possible they will add more in the future?) and the times listed were the current operating hours for each park (for example, EPCOT is 11:00am - 9:00pm).
• Oddly, I couldn't find the sign-out button when done (the bar across the top had disappeared). But I just X-ed out and logged back in to check and everything was still there just fine (and still didn't have the bar across the top the second time, either!).

Good luck everyone! Definitely frustrating to get in, but once in the system it was very quick and easy. Hang in there!

If everything was gone, how the heck would APs get anything during their day?!

For those having trouble getting in...

open an incognito tab in your browser by clicking ctrl + shift+ n. Go to Disney homepage and select make a dining reservation from the drop down menu. Find a day/time and click make the reservation. It should prompt you to sign in. Once you’re signed in, use the drop down menu to navigate to the parks reservation page And click make reservation. Someone reported this work around on the reservation canary thread and it worked for me along with many others.

DH got through at home! . Then he texts me that He doesn’t remember when to book it. . But he got a confirmation screen and then the castle

 

[Zeus'Headache]

It worked...for 1 day. Now everything is gone apparently (I don’t believe that)

 

[lisa cameron]

Took over two hours of trying to get in but finally after at least 30 different count downs, it finally let me in and I was able to book all of our 6 days the end of October.

Was able to make 1 park reservation for August then everything showed unavailable.

 

[winnieofpooh]

So I was one of the ones having issues with the entire calendar showing as sold out. I was making reservations for two parties - 4 of us in one room, 3 in another. We made day 1 reservations for all 7 of us no problem, then got the sold out issue.

Switched to just my immediate room, and was able to make the entire trip of reservations for the 4 of us. BUT now no one (not me, nor someone in the other room) can make reservations for the 3 people in the other room. Calendar still shows completely sold out. UGH.

You don't actually have to make a dining reservation. Once you get past the login modal, just enter https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/plan/ in your URL bar and you'll still be logged in.

 

[OhMickeyUrSoFine]

THis is absurd. I'm able to get a park pass but can't find anything available.

 

[HokieRaven5]

I think it all crashed again. I don't believe that the entire calendar year+ has been booked to its entirety.
