Tickets and Annual Pass Questions - Please add your ticket questions to this thread

[Rpo0921]

Trying to get clarification after calling WDW. My wife and I are closing on a home in Port Charlotte FL this Tuesday Jan. 30th. We are going to WDW on Feb. 29th so we are going to try to buy resident passes for the discount. I don't think we will have any utility bills or the other required paperwork needed to get FL resident passes. We will have all the papers from the home we purchased. We might have the home insurance papers but not sure as we need the property inspected before we can insure it. I don't know how long that process takes. We have set up an account with Florida power and light online to have the utilities switched to us on Wednesday but again we will not have a bill until March.
Any help would be great!
Thanks in advance!

Can you open a bank account with the address and then use that as your verification?

We Didn't think of that. Sounds like a great idea and we are going to open one anyway so that might help.
Thanks for suggestion for sure!

Is anyone else having issues with their tickets and passes showing in MDE? Apologies if this issue has been raised elsewhere!

We just bought tickets today and linked accounts. 2 on my account. 4 on a family member’s account. All 6 are showing up on my account. 1 is missing from the linked family member’s account. But that guest is listed as managed by them under family and friends. On my account, they’re listed under Other Family and Friends instead of being in the We’re Planning Together group. It’s looks disorganized, but at least one account has them all.

I had this problem last week when using Chrome. When I used Edge I could see our tickets and reservation.

I am a current passholder (Incredipass), and it expires at the end of November. I’m planning a trip at the beginning of November, and it would be nice to be able to book a package so I can get the 6 months of 0% APR on my Disney visa.

My question is: can I use the tickets in the package towards my AP renewal?

You can get a ticketless package through Disney. You don't have to buy tickets to get the package deal when you have annual passholder tickets. My sister has an AP and she has a package reservation for her December bounce back reservation.

Thanks for the reply - they weren't showing in Chrome or Safari yesterday but are back today! Oh Disney IT.

Can someone help me understand the annual pass park hopping option for MK on Sat, Sun? My understanding is that annual pass holders still have to make park reservations except for good to go days but can then park hop after visiting first park but not have to wait until 2PM. Can one visit MK on Sat, Sun at any time after visiting first park that made a reservation or do you have to make a reservation at MK?

As long as you go to another park first, you may hop to MK at anytime on a Saturday.

And if do not visit another park, then have to make a reservation for MK on Sat or Sun, even if going after 2PM. correct?

Correct. The only exception would be if it's a good-to-go day which don't require reservations at all.

Actually, an AP Pixie Dust pass doesn't allow for the MK hop on either Sat. or Sun; it is a weekday pass only.

If most guests don't require park reservations now, wouldn't park reservation availability be pretty wide open on most days other than the busy holidays anyway? What's the good about good-to-go days if you can get a reservation on almost every day? What am I missing?

 

[hertamaniac]

It's a resource/guest lever in Disney's toolkit to control AP crowds. Most importantly, it's a dynamic, real-time weapon tool.

I think it's been said that the average AP guests doesn't spend close to the monies a ticket holder does. So if the projected upcoming dates show a deficiency in date-based ticket holders, they can "widen the bucket" to AP holders to get, maybe not maximum, but additional revenues (food/drinks/merch.). At least that's the way, I see it.

But they can still just make a park reservation, no?

If it's available. They control the availability and how wide the door is so to speak. There is nothing to say what shows open to an AP holder today, closes tomorrow right?

I would assume WDW reduced theme park reservation availability proportionally now that the dated-tickets no longer need a reservation. I doubt if the same size bucket is still available as was a year ago. WDW has all kinds of data that informs how many dated tickets, on-site guests, APs, hopping, etc. are visiting each park on a daily basis. They know how many theme park reservations to make available to APs to keep the crowds at the level they want.

Of course, that's true. But the availably is totally open for six months. See above screenshot.

Could be but, again, it's wide open without exception, including Presidents Week and Easter, where by this time last year both had totally booked days.

Maybe I'm not understanding it or conveying my thoughts on it properly. Even though a window, today, can show open availability for a certain tier AP holder for X months out (given a number of Y open slots per day/per park), that valve can be turned off at any time (i.e. the bucket fills).

Let's say you decide to book today in one of those available AP slots, but this afternoon a group of 4 AP holders now see that day as not available at that park. You essentially helped "filling" that bucket to closure.

I understand. My point is that these parks would've shown quite a few full dates last year at this time. As it stands, there are NO full days, for anyone. Even during some of the most busy times of the year. Yes, it could change, but it hasn't yet, even for traditionally slammed dates that are only two weeks away.
