    Deanne from OR Asked Please note that experiences, policies, pricing and other offerings are subject to change and may have changed since the date of this answer.

    I am trying to purchase the 4 Park 4 day ticket promotion. My start date 8/11 has been blocked.I've read through all of the fine print and nowhere does it say that you need to reserve a specific date. What is going wrong? Please help.

    Welcome, DeAnne, and thank you so much for stopping by planDisney! It looks like you're planning to visit the Most Magical Place on Earth in a few days, so I hope your Mickey ears are packed. Let's take a look at some of the current Special Offers you might be able to take advantage of while you're in the Sunshine State.

    The 4-Day, 4-Park Magic Ticket is a fantastic deal, but the details indicate it has "select start dates." This offer is likely designed to be used on dates when crowds are projected to be lower, which is why some start dates are unavailable. I double-checked the calendar and see that your August arrival week is not eligible for this deal. I know that's not the news you were hoping for, so let's brainstorm some other options.

    My first suggestion is to call the Tickets and Hotel Reservations line for their recommendations. Once they know your travel dates and any flexibility you have, they might offer an alternative ticket deal. 

    For example, I see a Late Summer 2-Day, 2-Park Ticket that is valid for your start date. Keep in mind this one only allows entry to EPCOT and Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park. You can find additional ticket and resort stay options on the Special Offers page; I actually have it bookmarked on my laptop! I'm waving my magic wand that you find a deal that works for you.

    You'll be in town during Cool KIDS' SUMMER, so I hope you can enjoy some of those offerings. GoofyCore at CommuniCore Hall at EPCOT looks like a fun dance party for all ages. And the best part is that it's air-conditioned!

    DeAnne, I hope you snag those theme park tickets and have a magical visit! It was a pleasure to meet you, and feel free to reach out to planDisney anytime.

    Magic awaits,
    Elaine
