AP reservations when staying at a resort

[irene6118]

My daughter has an annual pass but she is staying with us at the Riverside resort. The rest of us have regular tickets. Does she need to still need to make park reservations?

Yes unless Disney has marked a date as Good to Go, she will need to make a park reservation for the first park she enters if before 2 PM. And Saturday and Sunday at MK a park reservation is required at any time for AP holders.

She can make them for length of stay since she is at Riverside without counting toward the regular AP reservation limit.

When she makes the reservations, she should scroll down to the link for resort guests.

Make sure she is listed on your reservation and then linked in MDE. If she is not, then she will have to "pull" from the AP bucket of reservations and make them, as @Dave006 mentioned. If she is on your reservation and all her information matches her AP (age/name) and you are connected so the reservation shows on her MDE account, she should not have to make reservations since it is not required for resort guests. If issues, the CM at the tap styles should be able to fix it if she shows them her MDE account. She could always make them to avoid any problems. EDIT - Incorrect information - see below. She will have to make reservations, just not limited in the number she can hold at one time!

Incorrect - APs staying onsite still need park reservations unless it's a good to go day, but they can make them for length of stay if their resort is linked.

By having an AP, she must make park reservations even as an on-site guest. The benefit to being on-site for an AP is there is no limit to the number days of reservations.

Thank you for that correction! I had a one of my friends stay with me on a resort stay with an AP and they didn't make any reservations at all and we had no problems. May have been good to go days!

You can also enter after 2pm as an AP with the exception of MK on weekends without a reservation so if you went after 2pm that could explain it.
