Ever since I got my Magic Key right when they came out in August, I’ve been going every Sunday, and I’ve gotten every day I’ve wanted. Unfortunately some Sundays are harder to get than others and they require lots of fishing; but it works.
I'll definitely be coming back to this video many times.
Great Video David! I do follow this model, and I also found that this works for dining reservations as well. It makes sense as people cancel thier park reservations, they also cancel dining reservations. 👍
it is true for dining reservations on waiting until the day or two before, yes.
So correct that the closer to the date the more likely it will open up. And checking often is the key. The date and time tips are fantastic. And I will start "camping!'
Just when I need this! Thanks David!
i miss the old days when you didnt need a spread sheet to go to disneyland
Too funny! But oh my hell, so true. A video about Disney showing nothing but charts!
Right!? A vacation shouldn’t be an expensive chore. I rather go to the beach.
@@dynamicmediacurations Or just about anything else. Going to an Angels game this summer and always went to Disneyland too, but not this time.
This data really help! Thanks David abs whoever did the data! Numbers don’t lie!
I honestly really hope Disney gets rid of the reservation system eventually. One of the reasons I got an annual pass was so I could go whenever I wanted, but I can't.... Maybe one day, I dunno. I REALLY appreciate this video, I've been struggling with reservations, and now I got more knowledge for next time!
Poor baby. I also have a pass and it's not hard to pick a day to go. So in other words you have special rights over other guests who pay top dollar to go.
Good video and does match what I've seen/experienced that the closer to the date the easier it is. Well outside of when it first goes on "sale".
That said I'm with many people who hope that Disney at the very least offers a new AP w/o the reservation or something similar. As someone who lives in Norcal with an AP I have to say that the current state of things really sucks. I'm right on that weird cusp to where I COULD make a last minute trip easy enough (it's not a bad drive and plenty of hotel rooms) however (at current prices) it winds up being like $500+ for 2 days so I do have to put in some planning on it.
Cool video super informational thanks for going the extra mile
you're welcome. our pleasure!
These hacks really do work. I have an enchant key and have made a Friday or Saturday reservation a week sometimes even two days before 4 weeks in a row. The “key” hours in my opinion to check for dates are 7:00-8:30 AM and 9:00-12AM. Personally the best luck I
have is day before around 10:30 PM. Also refreshing the app or trying to log in through a different devise helps too. I have tried booking a date on my phone and it’s booked then I go on through my desktop and boom the dates there
There you have it .... "daily-ticket-buyers" ..... bring in more money. Perhaps there should be NO passes at all. There was a day when "crowds" at Disney were almost non-existent -- I used to work there in the 1980's -- in a not-to-be-named "executive" office. If it weren't for "local" pass-holders, Disney might be empty most of the time (except summer-vacation time). Keep in mind that those, who are annual pass-holders, who like to go there, when time permits for them, spend money as well -- AND more often -- AND more consistently than the one-time, long-distance, big-spender visitors! There was a time when many locals did not go to Disney on any kind of regular basis -- Disney was overly-heavily dependent upon the one-time, long-distance-summertime visitors -- most of whom would visit only during .... the summer. (An economics concept here: If you have, for instance, an industrial plant, and that plant is not in full operation 24-7, then you are losing money). It was during a time of low, local-visitor-attendance, that the concept of "local California passes" came into existence -- your status as a "local" was dependent upon your Zip Code Number, and at that time, as I recall, the passes were good only during the "winter," or "off-season" months. Don't call us demeaning names or sell us short. Locals are a vital component of the Disney "traffic" -- they help to keep the "plant" running 24-7 -- or as close to that as possible, but SOME of us will not return until ALL reservations are gone.
I have always had the best luck just after midnight!
Doesn't sound like a vacation more like battle plan
Exactly!!! Excellent point!!!
I'm done with Disneyland. Who needs this stress (not a ?) but a statement !
We’ve had great success just staying vigilant, checking every day and catching a window when your closed out day actually opens up….We’ve seen the window open for as little as 30 min before it closes back again.
So goddamn expensive ugh. Want to take the family but would be almost 500 only for tickets, ridiculous
Always able to grab the next day starting at 8pm-10pm the day before. Weekends, Weekdays, Holidays
for real? just look late the night before?
that doesn't work for out of town magic key holders who have to book hotel rooms also!!! 😰😰
Thanks so much, some of this I have observed myself and you are spot on with what I have seen. Some of this information is eye opening too, the charts and graphs are pretty amazing. Now, can we get some tips for dining reservations? I seriously have the worst luck.
I second this, loved this video, and could really use something similar for dining reservations. Thank you!
I have travelled here on many occasions with little to no problems. But now it looks extremely complicated.
First the normal person needs to be highly inteligent and know so much more than any Disney organizers. Next you need to somehow fathom exactly which site and where to find park reservations. Make your reservations, then buy your park tickets, or is it buy your park tickets and then make reservations that may no longer be available in which case you will not be visiting. Many people who have done similar have complained that the reservations have not been linked to the tickets and the only way to sort it just maybe is to telephone and wait in line for up to two hours if you are lucky for someone to answer and even then they may not be able to help, how much will that cost someone dialing from outside the US?. Also apparently we all need some sort of App ontop of another App ontop of further apps to access an account, and that's assuming we have accounts, otherwise it's now more wasting time to open a new account, or several accounts. Once this is all done and we have followed everything that we should and bearing in mind there is no easy way of finding out which sites to use or how to use them, there seems to be no real guarantee that you'll be able to enter the parks. From the UK it's really not easy trying to remote access from this end.. I have looked over several weeks to try and make head or tail of what, why, when, how and if. I've just tried several UA-cam channel to see if they can throw any light on the situation and I hope that this upload may have been one of them. Is this really a good thing. Most people that I have spoken to in the UK have all felt that we are no longer welcome at WDW which is such a shame. I'm sorry everyone if I sound a little too upset and I suppose I need to let off a little steam, but I wonder if anyone could point me to an upload or a page that will safely take me through the process as it's a wonderful place to visit. Many Thanks.
LOL take a step back and look what we have to do to go to the park with our season passes that were created so we could go to the park whenever and however many times we want to. Being 8 hours away from the park this system ruined it for me. Hotel reservations and park reservations planning months out with other friends / family? Only people who aren't bothered by this are the ones who live close by.
I have the Enchant pass and work the reservation perfectly for my available dates, just have to refresh the calendar, the day before.
as someone who weirdly enjoys the planning aspect of going to disneyland, the reservation system doesn’t bother me too much. of course i’m in the minority when it comes to thinking that way, especially among those who like to go whenever they want
totally agree with you, while i completely understand why this would be an issue and in some cases it still is for me, i plan trips like as far in advance as possible so i have not really had much of an issue, but i imagine it’s a lot harder for people who go more often than once or twice a year
To be honest it doesn't really bother me either, and we go at least 24 times a year. We have kids and lots of activities. Even back in 2018-19 we were planning our visits 3-6 months in advance, otherwise we would book up and not even get to go to the parks, even though we live 10 minutes away. We would advance pick two days each month to go and put it in our dayplanners so if someone invited us to something that day we would know that's already earmarked for Disney. Now I don't have to write it down on the calendar anymore, I just check my app.
Hey Fresh Baked!!
these tips seem to mostly apply to magic key holders and people who work 9 to 5 monday thru friday. i work odd hours and odd days,a lot of people do. also,what about someone who wants to go on a day pass? do the same tips apply? i had an AP for over 30 years, but if reservations are here to stay i'm going back to ala carte visits once or twice a year. if disney can live with that, so can i. in fact it will probably make me appreciate the park more and not take it for granted. i also find it kind of funny that disney now has people scrambling to get reservations for days when the parks will be jammed packed. it doesn't sound very magical to me.
Excellent info. Have you done a vid on dining reservation strategies?
I wish there were strategies, but there aren't really beyond being up at 3 am lol.
@@FreshBakedDisney That's what I was afraid of
I like this video, it’s very interesting. I think people look at this reservation system emotionally rather then analytically. I’m a planner so I do a lot of this already. Thanks David!
This whole reservation system sucks for us out of town Magic Key holders that have to book hotel rooms also!! 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
Totally agree!!!!!
Using all those tips, I really haven't had a problem getting the days that I wanted since having my Key in October. The only bummer is that I can't upgrade to the dream key. Any news about the opening of the keys?
I'm really tired of having to get used to things just because "Chapek really likes" it that way. Worst Disney CEO of all time...in such a short time.
Wow,! I hope nothing in your life changes because it would be so hard to adapt!
I agree chapek worst ceo
Some charts have two Thursday’s and missing Tuesday?
What about non key holders? (Full ticket price folks). I used to be a Passholder but living 400+ miles, not any more. Can’t risk short notice reservation chances. The single day patterns are a headache and differ so much between hopper and multi-day it seems
I did not realize you had to make reservations until after we booked our flights and hotel. We haven't been since pre COVID and we used to just buy tickets when we check into the Disneyland Hotel. Luckily the dates we chose were wide open the week before! Question..... if you have a hotel reservation for one of the Disney hotels, does that guarantee you get a reservation to the park on those days? Just curious.
Enchanted needs to open for end of July more kids go back to school earlier 🔔
Can u do the same video for out of Towners and international people
No. I do not have to get used to it.
I just don't go, me and my wife used to spend between 20 and 30k a year at Disney and if there is one thing we have learned there are all kinds of companies excited to take out money and they don't ask like they are doing us a favor.
Good for you ,so we go for you
I mean, if the park was full and you had a pass they would turn you away anyway… so it’s kind of the same but you don’t have to go down there to be turned away… with reservations you just know when the park will be full already
Any pro tips for us So Cal imagine key pass holders????
Anybody know advice for getting a reservation at Savi's workshop. I just got to Disney yesterday and want to build a lightsaber, did not realize I need the reservation. Going to the Hollywood tomorrow, any advice for getting a reservation???
I am a CM in WDW and I hate the reservation system... I bought an AP because the CM card has as many blockouts as the lowest level pass or worse...
Y’all should do a video with tips on how and when to make dining reservations! Tried to get ogas cantina and trader Sam’s the second that they opened up, but they were both out of reservations instantly 😢 how on earth do people get those reservations??
There are no tips
Hey Fresh Baked! Great video! What is the difference between the dream, enchant, believe, and imagine keys?
I gotta wonder if the reservations for restaurants matches the general timeline of when things open up after being completely booked
Would some tips for a sit down restaurant reservation
I feel like I have had the 28th of May for fantasmic since 1955
this is so accurate.
Any chances they will open the sold out keys so we can upgrade? Really bummed Enchant is so blocked in Summer!
They haven't said anything, but I have the same key. I guess I can't go on July😔
Do these tips also work if i were trying to buy a 1 day park hopper for a specific day as well
they do yes, though single day reservations tend to flip to available less frequently.
So crazy they want to keep it 😪
Do you think I should purchase and reserve my dates for this year’s Disneyland Halloween and the party months in advance? I am concerned that if I try to do it a month before or at least two months before it will be sold out by then.
I would recommend skipping the Halloween parade if you hate the no flash photography rule.

How hard it is it for people from overseas, will they miss out if days fill out, is there a way for tourists to get some priority or just wait prior for the 90 days or so and just book them??
If you are coming from overseas you would have no problem as daily passes hardly sell out and you have 90 days to book
The reservation system is thoughtless and disgusting -- it totally eliminates a whole group of people whose daily lives can and do change at a moment's notice because of the demands of the type of work they do (a law office, for example) -- and, therefore, their availability changes from moment-to-moment, day-to-day. I am left breathless, mentally exhausted, depressed, and totally disillusioned after listening to all of the ways one must spend time strategizing how to do what could and should be a simple, impromptu trip to Disneyland -- continuing to prove that Disney does not want/need our money.
Just go to Knotts. Problem solved. Universal is your other option. Your right, they don’t need YOUR money. There are plenty of people who will give them theirs.. with a smile!
Sounds selfish. A whole group of people who spends one amount to go whenever you want. Compared to daily ticket holders who pay top dollar 🤡🙄 just a buy a ticket then, problem solved
What time of the day do reservations come available? I am really wanting Christmas and Christmas Eve. We will be staying at the Disneyland hotel. Is it 7am pacific?
12:01-12:10 it’s not consistent
@@solarwhale So pacific time
I am going to Disneyland soon and using my Believe Key… Does anyone know if I can use it as a park hopper? Or do I have to buy something else?
At 1pm you can switch to either park, no extra tickets needed
@@sketchypunkin8936 Thanks so much for the help
so how many park reservations need to be cxl, for a day to open back up? 250, 500 more
1
@@FreshBakedDisney thank you 😊
Hey David is there a way to check to see how many times you visited Disneyland? I just want to know if there is an official way to track your visits past
You used to be able to look it up on the annual passholder website, they tracked your visits for you. I haven't seen anything like that for the magic key but I'm not sure. When I was in high school I used to go around 50 times a year for three years until I turned 18 and became a cast member. I couldn't really say how many times I have been total though because they launched the AP website way after I had already become an AP.
@@goldeelocks83 Thanks! We are going the 30th and October 18th. very excited. Funny the Disneyland website says our Magic keys expire October 1ST, then the Disneyland app says December 13th. I wonder why?
what about ppl who are not annual pass holders can i just buy a ticket and just go?
still need a reservation. but stay tuned. rumor is by june it may be possible to just show up and buy a ticket without a reservation.
@@FreshBakedDisney What! Oh wow, I had not heard this. I will keep my ears open. I am single, no kiddos and I often visit my father in San Diego, from Portland Oregon. I used to run up to Disney more spur of the moment, because I never knew which day I could get away from visiting family and did not know if I would just stay the day, or overnight. I would LOVE it if I were able to do this again. Thank-you for the info!
WARNING: the calendar is not accurate. That is, it can't be trusted in some situations. I had reserved Tuesday thru Friday a month ago for the middle of June. We're from another state and had purchased 4-day passes.
I needed to cancel Friday and reserve Monday instead. An ideal reservation system would let me do both at the same time, but not Disney. You have to first cancel and then make a new reservation.
The calendar has been fully open and continues to be for mid June for both parks and both types of passes (single park or park hopper), but it wasn't until I actually went in to reserve Monday (after cancelling Friday) that I got to see the "real" calendar.
What I mean by "real" calendar is that what had been fully open before, now showed no reservations available for Disneyland on 3 of the 4 days in the middle of the week of our trip. So how did this happen? Why could I not see that these reservations were no longer available until I was in the process of making a new reservation? There was no time delay on my part. I cancelled and immediately made a new reservation. So what is going on with their reservation calendar?
Monday was fully open, so it worked out for us. But had Monday not been available, our 4-day passes would have effectively just become 3-day passes. We're still almost a month away from our visit, and had I tried to do this in a week or two before our arrival, I probably would not have gotten that Monday reservation.
With our hotel reservations, I never cancel or change one reservation unless I have the other reservation secured. Is it too much to expect this of Disney?
I can guarantee this is going to cost out of town guests to lose days on their multi-day passes when they are making changes to their reservations, and this sounds like another class-action lawsuit just waiting to happen.
I exchanged many messages with Disney reps trying to understand why I couldn't see the "real" calendar until I was in the process of making a new reservation. I can tell you what they finally concluded, but this is already too long, and I want to give others a chance to offer their theories or tell about their own experiences. If there is interest, I'll come back and explain further.
Please explain further.
@@conrad4667 So here's Disney's explanation. It makes sense, yet I'm not completely convinced. First I'll point out that in these comments, someone asked how many reservations must be available to show availability on the calendar, and David (Freshbaked) replied 1. He didn't elaborate, but I suspect this is accurate.
According to Disney, the reason the calendar changes from when I'm looking at a fully open week and then try to actually make a reservation is because we have four people in our group that need reservations. So it's only after I select all four people in our group that the availability in the calendar changes, blocking out days that have fewer than 4 reservations available.
But here's the reason I don't fully buy this explanation. As stated previously, I had been watching the calendar for weeks and had not seen any days of the week showing no reservations available. If Disney's explanation is accurate, meaning the week looked fully open but many days actually had fewer than 4 reservations available, I think I would see some fluctuations bouncing around with reservations disappearing and reappearing. That never happened. Our week had consistently remained fully open whereas the week before our week did exactly that, bouncing in and out of reservation availability.
So my point with all this is if you have a multi-day pass and have a limited time period within to use it (being from out of town), I would be very cautious before dropping any reservation in the hope of picking up a reservation for a different day. The closer to your arrival, and the more people in your group, the less likely you will be successful in getting that new reservation.
@@af31ns Disney needs a way for you to be able to submit your specific simultaneous change request so customer service can respond via phone or text/email and bypass you trying to phone in to someone live, while everyone else would be too, for things that don’t require simultaneous changes.
They should drop the ridiculous reservation system.
Is this for all guests or just California residents? If you are coming from Canada do you have to reserve months in advance to gain entry to Disneyland?
It seems like it’s just for the 3 top tier pass holders. You must reserve regular non pass holders days in advance as well. Start early, get a park hopper and use genie plus for the best experience
@@johnnigro3709 Thanks for the clarification. I was hoping that these restrictions were primarily for the season pass holders. We're not in a position to book a holiday 6 months in advance and would most likely be booking a month or 3 weeks once our work and household schedules clear up.
No podcast today? :(
When I think "vacation fun", I think "diligence".
it sucks, yes.
Now do restaurant reservations or dining packages. These are next to impossible. Even 60 days out and in the first minute you’re able to make reservations. All gone.
This nonsense is for a new generation... Old guys like me are better off looking at old pics and vids, and remembering a better time. I still love your channel as it and others show me Disneyland..important as I will likely never go back.
This might be the most informative video you’ve ever done
thank you very much!
Disney loves the Reservation system...I hate it. I prefer the old way where you can go to disneyland when ever you want on any day......
So stupid this has to be this complicated. Magic keys should NEVER be blocked out on non blockout dates!!
this is a breeze compared to WDW unfortunately.
I still think this is all lame. I don’t see myself going to Disneyland for a long time, if ever again.
Disney had this long before the China Effect aka Covid with 1 of their new pass's and it was $600 without parking
I don't mind the reservations, I have had absolutely no issues getting the days I want, because I am a planner by nature. I could see it being an issue for people who aren't necessarily planners. Anyone in the comments who complain about the costs has never looked at what the prices, booklets, individual ride costs, average household income was in, let's say, 1959 or any of the earlier years. The cost is close in comparison compared to hourly income. Disneyland is so popular, these things need to put into place. A few upset people over reservations not going to Disneyland anymore just opens the door for those of us who want to be there and who know how to work the reservation system. Disneyland is a business not a charity and they have enormous costs to cover. If you think Walt wouldn't have wanted it this way, go do the above comparison and see that yes, customers were "nickel and dimed" in the early years too. Pretend you wanted to ride all the rides in 1959 and add up what it would have cost you compared to a minimum wage job back then.. He wanted and needed to make money. I feel, for every one person who states they will never go back, there are hundreds more making reservations and enjoying Disneyland.
You the system sucks when you have to apply game theory to make reservations
Disney is no longer worth it. Reservations required, obscene prices that seemingly go up by the day, endless planning to either bother, obscene lines, stupid politics. I have had it.....
We went in April and Rise of Resistance broke down 5 times. We tried the next day and still not working 🥺
I agree, I feel after all these years of being obsessed with Disneyland, I'm almost done. It's staggering how much has changed in 2 years
What stupid politics?
Don't get me wrong, love this channel (will always watch) and the concept of Disney. But I doubt I return as the magic and the fun is gone...for me. Walt would not be pleased IMO.
@@roccobotte The fact that they are involved at all and telling us their political opinions. They need to entertain us and otherwise shut up. That's what Walt would do.
This whole reservation system sucks for us out of town Magic Key holders that have to book hotel rooms also!! 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
