Confirmation # in regards to tickets, a resort reservation, or a package booking?

 

[trvlgirlmq]

Yes. When they upgraded their reservation system it assigned new confirmation numbers. I logged into MDE and all is good with my resort, tickets and magic band order.

Moving to Resorts as that is where package confirmations are discussed.

 

[Disneylover99]

Yes. I got two new emails today regarding changes in confirmation numbers for two upcoming trips.

I got the same email as well. Looks like that's all that changed.

I think there are at least 3 of these threads (I've posted in 3 so far) if you would like to merge.

Thanks guys! Was a little nervous.

Thanks! I'm only able to Merge within TPAS forums.

Kind of annoying though because it won't even load my balance remaining and there isn't an option to make a payment online which we always do!

I also received one and relieved that others received email too. Was a bit nervous.

Wonder if only package reservations changed? I didn't get a new number, that I can see but we book room only. They've always had different confirmation numbers than packages do

me too cannot find the pay online option, I cannot see my balance either.

I called Disney and take what you will from it, the cast member said they are switching servers and it should be back in a week or so.

I have not received any emails, I'm guessing maybe my TA has? But looking at MDE, I can see the confirmation numbers are different. Everything else seems to be there are is should.

Happened to us also, but that's all that has changed. All of our dining reservations and fastpass+ picks are still there

Must comment.... in database terms, your Res Number for a vacation is referred to as your "primary key".

WDW probably had a real NEED to change these - most likely due to EXPANSION of reservations. But this is a very DANGEROUS action..... it can screw up past data beyond belief, and needs to be done by EXPERT staff.

So - keep an eye on your current data.... and be ready to CALL CALL CALL like mad. This sort of operation CAN be done successfully.... by really GOOD DataBase coders. Just commenting that really GOOD IT staff do not appear to exist at Disney - WATCH OUT! The possibility of "disconnected data" is fairly high.

TA's got an email today with all the revised confirmation numbers for their reservations. They also show on individual MDE accounts.

Update as of ~9AM Eastern US Time, there is no way to pay a balance yet. Very frustrating.

I got the email too. I like having an all numeric confirmation number now rather than the one with letters and numbers. This morning I received a second email that showed all of the payments we made. However I did call them to confirm that everything was aligned since we have a reservation with two rooms and the CM asked me if I wanted to add Magical Express even though I already provided them with our flight information weeks ago. She said the Magical Express portion must not have updated. I am so glad I called.
