My wife and I have a DVC reservation for July 3 at the Grand Californian. Does anyone know when I will be able to buy park tickets for that date?
Am assuming that the July 4 weekend will be busy, so on Tuesday I want to make my park reservations for July 3 early. I know I can make them this Tuesday 5/2, but does anyone know what time in the morning the reservations page opens up?
That would be amazing! Thank you in advance! But if you don't feel like getting out of bed, I totally understand!Today is 5/2. Tuesday is 5/4.
I keep meaning to watch what time they update, but I've seen the next day pop up some time after midnight PST. It might actually be midnight. But that could have been a fluke? I'll set an alarm to double check tonight what time 7/2 reservations go live.

Sounds good!I'm usually up that late anyways and on my phone lol! It's something I've been meaning to check anyways. I just need an alarm to remind me to look at the reservation calendar at the correct time I want to check.
I'll report back
Well, it’s got be a little before 8 AM since I just tried about 5 min ago to see what‘s available and I would have been able to make reservations for 7/2. I’ll try a little after midnight tonight anyway. And thank you for all this!!Availability calendar updated for 7/2:
Hotel guests: 12:00am 5/3
Park hoppers: 12:02am 5/3
Single park: 12:03am 5/3
So I would check for 7/3 starting at midnight on 5/4 (in just under 24 hours).
EDIT: there are people on Gothic Rosie's page saying while the availability calendar shows the dates open, they are not showing when they go to actually reserve. I don't have tickets in my account that aren't attached to reservations already to check this part.
EDIT 2: someone updated again and said they see it go live at 8am to actually reserve.
Sadly, as mentioned, nothing I can check further. But this does make logical sense. When they opened on 4/12 for existing ticket holders and the 4/15 for new ticket purchases, the language was "not before 8am" for both days.

So are these times Pacific? If I am on the east coast would it be 4am? Also, If I purchase a 4 day hopper can I book all four days on the first day of the dates opening or do I have to do one reservation every day that the day opens? (assuming of course OOS people will be able to go) I currently have a reservation at GCV too.

Thank you. I was referring to the post that mentioned the tickets becoming available at 12am not 8 am. It sounds like it is not consistent?Since DLR is in the PT zone, yes. We're using local time for the resort. 8am here is 11am on the east coast (you're 3 hours ahead of us, not 4 hours behind us).
When OOS are cleared to make park reservations and go to DLR, you have to make your reservations one at a time and only as each day becomes available. If your dates are still 60+ days out after OOS are cleared to make park reservations, you will need to reserve your days one at a time each day they open.
So if I wanted 7/2 through 7/4, I would have booked my first day today (5/3), 7/3 tomorrow, and then 7/4 on Wednesday.
If your dates are already within the 60 day window when OOS can make park reservations, you'll just go in and make each reservation one at a time, but without the wait for the next morning element. Similar to what happened for the first 60 days of operation.
