But not if you want to stay onsite the night before or after and not forfeit a package park day. Plus, it's not always easy to do that. I tried and was unsuccessful at first. I, finally, after weeks of trying, was able to get 2 packages for the same hotel/room type. It's still not guaranteed that you can stay in the same room. It's up to the hotel. They have allowed it before though.…or you can book back-to-back packages ideally with the same room type…
New here, can you clarify what you mean by ‘not forfeit a package park day’?But not if you want to stay onsite the night before or after and not forfeit a package park day.

I think I was trying to say that with overlapping packages you will have overlapping park days. For instance, a 3 day2 night package starting on day 1 that runs through day 3. Then a 2 day/1 night package starting on day 3 and ending on day 4. This keeps you from having to try to get a hotel room only, which you would have to do if they don’t overlap. Room only reservations are harder to get. With the overlapping day, day 3, you are sort of not taking full advantage of day 3. You still get passes, and you can actually park hop, since the packages will give you tickets for both parks that day. Does that make more sense?New here, can you clarify what you mean by ‘not forfeit a package park day’?

Yes that does! So sorry, but what is the solution to this then? To not miss a park day?I think I was trying to say that with overlapping packages you will have overlapping park days.

Just do both parks on the overlapping day. You still get tickets and attraction passes. That's what we plan to do.Yes that does! So sorry, but what is the solution to this then? To not miss a park day?
That’s what we’re doing as well. Makes for a particularly awesome day.Just do both parks on the overlapping day. You still get tickets and attraction passes. That's what we plan to do.
Starting our planning for January Japan.
So packages book at 6 months while hotel at 4 months. So hotels solo without package is really that scarce?
We really want four nights with three days as prefer to get there and relax then hit the park first thing, rest midday and park again to close out then crash. This would require hotel nights to bookend the package 2 nights. Want to avoid off site hotels bookending cause that's a lot of luggage moving
FS would be hard. Toy Story only gets Happy Entry at Disneyland. Miracosta hasn’t been easy lately, since only it and FS get HE at Disney Sea. Disneyland Hotel and Ambassador have been easier.I'm wondering if toy story package would be more advantageous with a pre and post hilton stay. The challenge then is to monorail afterwards and we are very spoiled. Grand Californian dvcers.
Thinking miracosta maybe the best chances of cobbling together those four nights over fantasy springs.
Huge Premier and Priority Pass advantage. Also an advantage getting to that first ride. 15 minutes may not seem like much, but it’s terribly useful. Sometimes it’s more than 15 minutes.Happy entry is 15.minutes before.others....so rope drop advantage only right? Also premiere pass selections too i suppose if want to do that route for fs if hotel stay only?
The big thing about TDR is that people there are conditioned to arrive early. So, of the people who will be in the park during the day a much larger percentage will do rope drop. So not like US parks and even DLP, you won’t have as many people arriving at 10, 11 am. From what I have been told it’s because day visitors come by train predominantly and trains run very early, but not late in the evening. Our experience was that evening crowds are much lighter than US parks. That’s why the 15 minutes matter.Happy entry is 15.minutes before.others....so rope drop advantage only right? Also premiere pass selections too i suppose if want to do that route for fs if hotel stay only?
