I recommend booking a hotel only as practice, and then cancelling. At least for me, the credit card verification process is the same for hotels and packages. Once I got it working the first time, it has worked properly and the same since! It did take a few tries for me, I had to respond to my bank's fraud verification via text message and then retry with an entirely different transaction before it took.
It's not as hard as it sounds, there are still packages available for my July 2024 dates at the tokyo disneyland hotel. Its staying at the actual fanatasy springs hotel that is impossible, let alone with a package.
I booked (and canceled) a test run package with a visa and then that card didn’t work when I did the real thing! Had to quickly pivot to Amex which thankfully worked for that package and the subsequent one…
It is sooo nerve-wracking waiting on that payment processing screen. Last night my heart was RACING!
Me too
So they go for sale at 2 am tonight if you live in EST? Not booking for October but want to be prepared.Get ready for Oct vacation packages
I saw someone on WDWMagic who was invited to a media preview and he said that TDR is taking serious precautions to avoid leaks so I'm not surprised the videos were taken down. This person was not allowed to share much except that he thought the Peter Pan ride was the best out of the bunch.
Yes. With daylight saving time in effect in the US, 3pm JST is 2am EDT. So, 2am tonight.
LOL! I did this exact package change
For me I think it's going to be worth it. When are you going? Since I'm going for opening I figure the lines to get in are going to be insanity for the first week especially and having Happy Entry will be worth it to avoid that for the most part. Plus I'm sure I will need a quick afternoon break and it will be so convenient.I'd say if this is your first night at TDR, you're checking in at 3pm, and you're chilling in the hotel for the rest of the day, I'd do it.
Third week of June! But we're only doing a 1-night package so we won't have a room to rest in in the afternoon on Disney Sea day. I was looking at your napkin math and Happy Entry does sound like a huuuuge advantage to knock off FS rides first thing in the morning. We didn't get the +more package so Happy Entry would help us secure mobile orders too for Snuggly Duckling...LOL! I did this exact package change
Check out views on Youtube, Chris from TRD Explorer did a recent video on vacation packages and he had this exact room. You can watch Believe! from your room, see rehearsals, etc. I'm someone that tends to splurge a bit on Disney rooms though. I don't spend a lot of time in my room but I've never seen rooms as just a "place to sleep" like some people do.
