There is a bucket for onsite guests.
It's always identical to the theme park ticket bucket. Seems it's one bucket with 2 names. The AP bucket is clearly separate with different availability.
There is definitely supposed to be. When we were down in March we changed our reservations and when we did they used it from the Annual Pass bucket even though we were staying onsite. It did not matter too much as we are not local but we are supposed to have 5 days that we can pick in addition to our resort stay days.
An AP w/a resort stay can pull from both buckets. It used to be you could only pull from the resort stay bucket but since they launched the new reservation system when they started selling the APs in the fall it will pull from whichever one has availability.
Ahh I did not know they had made a change. This really seems unfair to passholders that do have resort reservations as well.
It was. Last year we had a short trip planned and wanted to change the last day to MK since we were at Poly. We called the AP line. They had to unlink our resort stay, then make an AP reservation, and then link the stay back.....so much better now. The only thing I don't understand is that if you make an AP reservation then you are able to modify it and change the park for that day (so you don't lose cancelling and getting nothing), but if you make it as a resort stay reservation then you have to cancel the park pass and re-book.
That is crazy they put you through all of that. Glad they at least had availability for you though!! My SO takes care of all of that so not sure if we also had that issue as well.
Here now. On Tuesday we decided to change tomorrow from DHS to Epcot. I’m not positive but it seemed I could only get it if I used AP > Resort Guest.
Isn't the pixie pass also blocked out midweek for basically all high-demand periods?
It is blacked out a lot of time in April for Easter I presume, on the other major holidays (5/30, 7/4, 9/5 and 10/10 but not Veteran's Day 11/11) and starting the Friday before and the week of Thanksgiving. It also blocks out starting the Friday before Christmas going through the end of the year. Ironically it does not block Jan 2 which is when New Years Day is observed by many companies in the US.
Seeing you have over 2,000 posts and have been a member of these boards for 20+ years makes me fairly certain you are not trying to pull the "long con", so I take your post at face value.Glad I found this thread. Was just looking on the members site
And couldn’t find them. I figured as much with the direction Disney is going recently. Guess we will buy 5 day 1 park per day tickets for our final trip and call it the end of an era. Sad but for my family it’s time, so many of places to see and things to do. They can have everyone else’s money.
Not sure what a long con is sounds like someone trying scam people. Not sure how that would work with this post. But any who, it’s sincere. And very sad to be at this point. Planning a great October trip before I do the deed and bid Mickey farewell. Again makes me crazy sad.
Sorry, I was being facetious. Companies do not seem to care about long term customers.
