Hiya, Justin! Welcome to planDisney!
It looks like your vacation is right around the corner. To quote a very famous mouse, “Oh Boy!” You’ll be immersed in a world of magic and enjoying that Florida sunshine before you know it. So let’s jump in and get you the information you’re looking for.
Date-based tickets (the kind that require you to choose a start date when you purchase) no longer require theme park reservations. Based on what you’ve described, it sounds like that’s what you’ve purchased, and that may be why you can’t make a reservation on the My Disney Experience mobile app. So you should be all set!
Some types of tickets still require theme park reservations, such as student group tickets, sports and convention tickets, Disney Military Salute tickets, and Annual Passes. You can find more information on tickets
here, but don’t hesitate to call the
Tickets and Hotel Reservations line to speak with a friendly Cast Member if you have any questions about what sort of ticket you have.
You’ve picked a great time to visit Walt Disney World. The
EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival has just started, and you won’t want to miss the beautiful topiaries, special food stalls, and the Garden Rocks Concert Series. You can find all the details, including the super helpful
Foodie Guide, at the
Disney Parks Blog.
I hope you have a wonderful visit to the Vacation Kingdom of the World, Justin. Pop right back if you have any more questions. Your planDisney pals are here to help!
Magical travels!
Matt
