Also looks like they put out a resort discount for pass holders up to 40% off which is the best it’s been in YEARS. So that’s pretty nice. Also would give them the chance to book more resort stays.So if you buy 7-day tickets, can you reserve 7 park days?
Just found it on their website. Man, they really hate their AP holders don't they.
First I had heard of it. Many were expecting them to open back up...This is from March.
This article is from March, talking about the initial COVID closings.
I can't currently get the website to actually offer the discount. But 40% off $200/nt at POP? Yay, that gets it in line with pricing last year. Having to book an overpriced resort to use my $1000 AP, while I could use much cheaper multi-day tickets with no resort is ridiculous.Also looks like they put out a resort discount for pass holders up to 40% off which is the best it’s been in YEARS.

They are opening back up. That article was from when the stores all closed in March and Disney also closed the parks and DS. This is quite misleading to be posting now.First I had heard of it. Many were expecting them to open back up...
I’m just saying that it’s nice for some people. It was enough for me to buy an AP when they had 35% off a year and a half ago so the discount is pretty nice. We stay at deluxe if we stay on property though. Otherwise I’d rather just stay at a Quality Inn for 100s (Or 1000s) less.I can't currently get the website to actually offer the discount.

I understand that you can't let APs book unlimited days, but letting require ticket holders book more days than APs is nothing but pure greed while flipping the bird to their most loyal customers.
That's a good change and a fair policy. IMHOFYI - I know it was a bit inconsistent in the past but appears with the new updates that went through last night (including opening up tickets and resort booking for 2020) Disney officially changed to for AP holders they can book days for their resort stays AND 3 other days

Also I think the 3 day limit is more about pass holders booking the days just in case vs a planned trip which would cost disney $$$$$ when they don’t show up. Regular ticket holders aren’t likely to do this. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a pass holder and I think it sucks. Especially for a family when only one buys the pass and the rest get regular tickets, like ours. But I see the reasoning.So if you buy 7-day tickets, can you reserve 7 park days?

This likely wouldn't be an issue with Platinum Passes. They could also have a strike system where if you miss a couple of days you can reserve more for a couple months, this is how Six Flags is doing it.Also I think the 3 day limit is more about pass holders booking the days just in case vs a planned trip which would cost disney $$$$$ when they don’t show up.

Just an update, took 2 days. Was credited to my CC over night.Just got this email from Disney. Looks like the AP refunds are now being processed.
maybe the question is naive... But, why shouldn't you be able to book unlimited days? isn't that the purpose of an AP, to go to the parks an unlimited number of days if you wanted?I understand that you can't let APs book unlimited days, but letting regular ticket holders book more days than APs is nothing but pure greed while flipping the bird to their most loyal customers.
It is the point during normal circumstances, but unfortunately nothing about now is normal. If they let APs book unlimited days, we’d see the AP calendar completely booked through at least December if not even longer. While no one likes the 3 day rule, at least it’s only keeping the booked solid calendar for a month or 2 at a time.maybe the question is naive...

OK. Set the calendar at 3 months out for APs and then let them do as their tickets allow. Seems the 3-day limit is silly and inconsistent with the purpose of an AP.It is the point during normal circumstances, but unfortunately nothing about now is normal.

The problem I am having with a 3-day rule is even though I have tickets .. I can't reserve the same number of park days (without a resort reservation). I have a 5-day ticket . my daughter has AP voucher. So . .unless I book a Disney resort stay, I can't reserve 5 days for us both.OK. Set the calendar at 3 months out for APs and then let them do as their tickets allow. Seems the 3-day limit is silly and inconsistent with the purpose of an AP.
IMO it should be at least 7 days like FP+ was. The 3 day rule is REALLY hard for us out of state people.OK. Set the calendar at 3 months out for APs and then let them do as their tickets allow. Seems the 3-day limit is silly and inconsistent with the purpose of an AP.
