    Hi! I booked a Disney vacation package and I am staying at the swan reserve. On my MDE under my tickets I have what’s labeled “park planning passes” and wondered if these get us into the parks?Or if we need to speak to someone to get valid tickets?

    Hey, there! Becca, I am so happy to welcome you to planDisney. As summer comes to a close but the temperatures still sing "Hot! Hot! Hot!" I find myself dreaming of the holidays at Walt Disney World Resort. I am glad to help in your plans to visit the Most Magical Place on Earth during the most wonderful time of the year.

    I learned something new from your question today. When you book a Disney vacation package with tickets and a resort stay at Walt Disney World Swan ReserveWalt Disney World Swan Hotel or Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel, they will put "park planning passes" on your account. These temporary placeholders will be automagically converted to theme park tickets closer to your vacation. You should not need to do anything for this to happen. 

    Once they are converted to theme park tickets, you should be able to see them in the My Disney Experience app with the number of days of admission, a barcode and the expiration date. If this has not happened by the time it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, you can call Existing Tickets for assistance. 

    With your mind at ease about tickets, it's time for gumdrops dancing in your head. You will be at Walt Disney World just as the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays begins. I also keep checking the Disney Parks Blog for Foodie Guides for the holidays. It really is a magical season!

    I hope this information helps and the rest of your vacation planning is practically perfect in every way! If anything else comes to mind, please come see us again at planDisney.

    Thinking of the Happiest Things!
