What's going on? All sorts of things in the WDW world! DIS Boards is awesome because I first read about it here.
The big announcement yesterday from Disney about WDW was chock full of info! First, there was this info about on-site resort guests' ability to make a theme park reservation:
Then there was info about My Disney Experience app changes for 2021!
Hm...new technology roll out effective 1/1/2021 and our trip starts 1/23. I remember reading on DIS Boards back when Magic Bands went live and all of the problems and frustration that initially occurred among DISers. I think that I am going to plan on purchasing generic Magic Bands for us for this trip since DH liked using one when we were at WDW 2 years ago.
I wonder if linking the Magic Bands to our room and all of that will require a trip to the front desk? Getting a Key To The World probably would.
THEN...WDW also announced that next week, you'll be able to book regular WDW packages for 2021! This means that we'll be able to add tickets to our room-only package (which our Dreams Unlimited Travel agent is going to do for us).
AND....once we have tickets in the package and they're linked to my MDE account, we'll be able to..
MAKE PARK RESERVATIONS FOR OUR TRIP! WHAT?! OMG!
Of course, I'm already thinking about what park for what day. More about that in the next post.
The big announcement yesterday from Disney about WDW was chock full of info! First, there was this info about on-site resort guests' ability to make a theme park reservation:
- Need a valid theme park ticket or AP which is linked to your My Disney Experience account.
- Need a linked on-site hotel reservation.
- Then you’ll have access to a calendar of available reservation dates for each date of your visit.
- If you have a multi-day ticket, you’ll need to make a park reservation for each day of your visit.
- Park availability can change until the reservation is finalized.
- Guests can select 1 park per day. No park hopping available.
Then there was info about My Disney Experience app changes for 2021!
- WDW will be retiring complimentary Magic Bands starting 1/1/2021.
- WDW resort guests can purchase Magic Bands at a discount.
- If you don’t want to buy a Magic Band, you can use the MDE app or use a Key To The World card during your visit.
