DL tickets and reservations - April 15!

[dieumeye]

Were you limited to a 14 day window with the 2 day tickets? Did they grey out days beyond that after you chose your first day?

I got 2 day tickets. When I picked the first date, all dates were open. When I went back to pick the second date, most of the calendar was blocked out... I can't swear whether it was 14 days (I was clicking as quick as I could) but it looks like the second date of my 2 day ticket was limited to dates close to the first date I picked.

Are you able to see existing tickets in your account? My son had a ticket that I had previously linked but don't see it online.

If it’s like normal you have 13 days after first use to use the rest of the ticket.

On IG, one of my friends posted a picture of "27 minutes" in her stories with a "whew, I was worried because I forgot to log in until 8:10!" Maybe she really logged in at 8:05 or something, and hit it right before it switched over? Idk. Someone here posted that they got a time with something they used "after 8," too.

I'm just confused about how that works.

I can't remember exactly what time it switched over, but it was sometime between 8:05 and 8:10. It's possible they got on right before it happened.

Meanwhile, I couldn't sleep and have been up since 5:45am. Still over an hour wait!!

Did you copy your queue it code? You should still have your place in line...

What's a queue it code?

I am still at "more than an hour" on everything. My husband is on a work call, but I'm praying that his one countdown on his phone is magically getting through when I'm not.

I really wish they weren't opening so close to the kiddo's birthday on the 27th. If they were opening weeks later, it wouldn't feel like a "birthday" thing, and if they'd opened even a week earlier, I wouldn't be too concerned about getting weekday tickets on or around her Tuesday birthday. But as it is, it's like, if we're going FOR her birthday, we want opening weekend... I'm so stressed about it!

It's randomized. That's how Queue-It does it.

It's a random number generator. So those getting in late draws a ticket and throws into the pot -- pot draws at random -- it's not first in/first out

Hey everyone...friendly reminder...we will not allow posts about out of state people trying to buy tickets or being in the que, as it breaks the rules that CA is under at the current time. All of these posts will be deleted!

Also, please play nice in this thread! We do understand people are getting frustrated but posts that are rude will also be deleted.

Thanks!

Hi Tina, I thought that the rule that "only California residents may visit the parks" doesn't preclude an out-of-stater from *purchasing* tickets right now or reserving a spot for a later date...?

Not trying to be cheeky here...thanks!

I'm at the check out screen. When I click "View Important Details" under the ticket name, a pop up has this information:

Multi-Day Ticket Expiration
Tickets expire 13 days after first use or January 12, 2023, whichever occurs first.

So it looks like they will still expire 13 days after first use even though they're new tickets. Also you purchase first, then it looks like next step is to make reservations.

More than an hour for me and two coworkers

You have to attest you when you make a reservation that you are a CA resident.

 

[Skyegirl1999]

So even if you join, like, right now?

I thought it randomized when it opened. So, like, 10,000 people in "waiting room." Queue opens. Those 10,000 are now randomly put in order.

But then the next person becomes 10,001, and so forth.

Is that not how it works?

 

[Skyegirl1999]

ONE OF MINE FLICKERED TO "58 minutes."

But then it went back to "over an hour."

BUT IT'S SOMETHING.

This thread is moving fast, but a word of waring for anyone...

Buying tickets was easy (pick type, enter payment info). BUT after I bought tickets the website just sat at the confirmation page. I had assumed I'd automatically been kicked to a reservation page, but I wasn't. So for a moment I didn't know what to do.

I went back to the DL main page, clicked the reservation link, and fortunately it knew I had tickets. Also, this might be obvious, but I realized only at the last minute that I had to reserve each date of my two day tickets individually.

Someone mentioned on the other thread they were going to buy the tickets while they were in the que then they would be ready, how is that possable?

There is no guarantee that the parks will open to those outside of the state when California opens in June. First, there is no guarantee that the state will open up if certain areas are not met.

In order to reserve a date, you have to state that you are a California resident. Doing so as an out-of-stater would be dishonest and against DISboard rules.

Click on the code. It will pop up a box with a copy thing on it with the full web address.

This isn't working for me on Chrome. What browser are you using? I tried copy/paste and emailing it to myself and it doesn't actually email a link to anything, just the series of letters and numbers, which does nothing when you put it into the browser.

It works the same on the WDW side. They just ask if you need to make another reservation after you make one.

Hopefully DL will require proof of residency to enter parks such as a valid California driver’s license or state issued ID.

Disney requires to show ID when you transfer your printed
tickets to paper tickets. They check ID for each adult person and then take a picture of you that links in their handl held ticket scanner to check that you match the photo that goes with the ticket. They don't do that for residency they do to keep people from selling remaining days on the ticket on eBay. They will see your drivers license isn't a CA id.
