There's still availability for all days, if you're having problems maybe try later?

I waited forever and finally got my reservations and was soooo relieved but when I logged out I realized I had forgotten to print. You know how things disappear on mde! Had to go back in after a not so peaceful rest at the castle again.

I’m stuck on Space Mountain now:/

What page were you waiting on?

Does anyone know how the park hopper “refunds” will work with UT tickets. Do I have to change my ticket or will it still work? I bought it before the price increase so I don’t think there would be much of a refund, if any.

Finally worked around an hour ago, just as I was about to give up. I can’t keep up with all of these various threads/posts but to whoever posted the dining trick above - THANK YOU.

Pretty painless and easy once it stated working. Just like booking FPs... select party, select your date, select park, confirm - not much to it.

Good luck everyone. I was pretty sour earlier but have gotten over my feelings now that that’s done.

Did you have to select a park time or can you just show up at rope drop?

If you accidentally pick the wrong park then you can cancel your reservation and go back in and pick a new park. Just FYI if anyone went a little nuts like I did lol.

The menu says “select a time” but the only box to select is the full park hours for that park, so no specific arrival window.

Maybe missed someone talking about this in the fury of messages - but does anyone know when AP reservations open later this week if we'll be able to add non-AP ticket holders to our party? I have a group that's 3 APs and 3 not (they have tickets already).

Just one time when reserving which is park opening for all three parks we booked (MK, DHS and EP)

Finally got a new screen- Olaf with his head off! Kind of how I’m feeling right now.

 

[Candris79]

You and me both. It’s annoying as heck.

I am so flippin’ annoyed right now. And I have been cool through all this otherwise!

Booking for AP holders without onsite reservations begins on Fri. 6/26. Booking for non-AP holders without onsite reservations isn't until 6/28. If you have an onsite reservation, you should be able to book today for the whole party.

I was only able to make 1 day's reservations even though we have 10 day PH, resort stay, and APs. I think maybe what happened is we have 1 night room only and then our package. Was hoping I could modify trying a day in the middle of my stay rather than the one during the room only, but no dice

We have a room only reservation (holding previous non-expiring tickets) but was very fortunate to be able to get our reservations for our entire trip, even though we have only a "first night deposit" holding our reservation. So it's more likely the site issue that everyone is experiencing. Keep trying!

My Space Mountain screen doesn’t have a timer. Should I keep waiting, or try again?

Hi all! Forgive me if this has been posted somewhere as I can't seem to find the answer I'm looking for.

My hubby and I currently have a package (room and tickets) booked for September 9-14. With all of the limitations happening, we are strongly considering rescheduling the vacation to sometime next year. I read somewhere that if you currently have a package, you can make reservations through Sept. 2021.

This is where my question comes in. If we were to change our reservation to sometime next year, will we still be able to use/get a reservation without screwing up any of our details? I'm worried that if I cancel and rebook, that will basically eliminate us from being able to get a reservation, so I would much rather be able to reschedule/modify and be able to go next year. Can anyone clarify if that is something you can do? With all of the new information coming out, things are just so confusing and I am sure someone here can help. Thanks all!

Neither does mine, I don’t think any do anymore.

Looks like they reused the FP+ system, as expected. They still have you select a time, but the only option is the park hours. Probably wasn't worth them reprogramming to eliminate that requirement.

Goes to show that people need to stop hyperventilating about every little thing, because the vicious rumor about arrival windows made no sense and just got everyone in a tizzy for no reason!

Yes, I know. I'm thinking forward to Wednesday - we don't have hotel yet but three of us are APs and could book 3 days regardless of that fact. Can we add our non-APs to that reservation?
