[Lindersj]

Finally got in (that was 2-1/2 hours of my life gone) and got everything we wanted Dec 15-20. Good luck to everyone else!!

FWIW, I could not get in with Mac or iPad. My hubby went on with Firefox on his laptop, and got in almost right away. Got 5 days end of August, with DVC stay. I saw the calendar as wide open, so maybe a glitch in availability.

Also, times did not seem to matter. Only 1 time slot available to book, and it was the same as the hours of operation for each park.

Does anyone know if everyone in your party has to have a MDE account in order to do park reservations? DD doesn’t have an account but is in my traveling party in MDE which has never been a problem.

Is anyone having trouble with park reservations not recognizing that you have valid theme park tickets? I can only make park reservations for DH, not for DD and myse because system says we don’t have valid park tickets. I can see all our tickets on the app.

Trying to troubleshoot our issue - does the page tell you you can't make reservations because there aren't valid tickets? Or does it just say there's no availability?

so the limit must be 8. I cancelled AK on my last day on July trip and was able to book Dec 24

I was able to get our park days reserved for our Thanksgiving week trip. After selecting the last day it took me back to the castle page and it has added a statement regarding a large number of guests accessing the system. I checked the MDE app on my phone and all 6 days are showing reserved. I had others in my party check theirs and all looks good. We shall see I guess.

Good luck to those who are still trying to get in.

Once you get in, very easy to use. All days needed July 25-August 2 were available. I would urge anyone still trying to use the "Dining reservation" method outlined above; worked like a charm for me.

The page says that DD and I don’t have valid theme park tickets but DH does.

No. They don’t need MDE. I booked myself and my daughter. She’s never had MDE account.

Some folks are getting capped on availability even though they have AP's and reservations, and others are not....

Same here. Just make sure all tix are linked in MDE.

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?

I have a similar situation, cannot book more than 3 days for myself, although I was able to complete the remaining 8 days of the trip for the rest of my party (who have regular tickets). And the resort reservation is in my name. Looks like there are some glitches they have not worked out yet - maybe it's the partner hotel stay we have prior to staying onsite which is throwing it off. There used to be a bug with FP+ and partner hotels for AP, and this system appears to be a reuse of the FP+ reservation system (just as I suspected).

2 Trips here-
August 2 - 7 at OKW and BLT: Easily booked 5 Parks for our 6 day trip for both my daughter and I.
November 21 - 25 at BLT: Booked day 1 for both of us but for the next 3 days it states "I" have reached my Park Pass limit while there was no issue booking my daughter's. We both have DVC Gold Passes...I'll try again later as clearly an IT issue.

Ah Disney, why such a PIA, lol.

 

[AquaDame]

I can't find a single day. Says no parks available through the entire calendar.

If you have an under 3 on your party without a ticket you do not need to add them - that has been getting a fair number of people stuck seeing no availability...

 

[Jacq7414]

So you can only make 9 days of reservations before you get locked out?

I am AP and says nothing available. If so, I'm going to get a refund and cancel all reservations. Beyond frustrated at this point.
