People with Disney hotel reservations were able to book their tickets on Monday. Many users reported some glitches with the system, which Disney says have been fixed. There were also many people who tried to book before it was their turn, which may have also caused some guests to receive errors.
There are a few things to keep in mind before you try to book your reservations:
- Your annual passes and park tickets must be linked with your My Disney Experience account
- No park hopping is allowed, so you can only book one theme park per day
- FastPass+ is not available for the reopening
- Face masks are required for guest 2 and older
- Anticipate being in Disney's online 'waiting room' as demand is expected to be high
