But I would need to pay full price up front for the tickets, that’s my concern
This past March we stayed at Beach Club as part of a package that included the Canadian resident tickets. When I checked in at the front desk to pick up our magic bands, they asked to see our passports so they could activate our magic bands right then and there. Easy peasy. We were able to go right into the theme parks without needing to stop at a guest services window.
Ok, let's see if we can help you figure out what the problem is. Give me a few more details and I'll try to help.But I would need to pay full price up front for the tickets, that’s my concern
Ok, it seems the dates you're looking at are what's causing the problem -- there is no promo that encompasses them so while you can put together a package it's not going to be including the CDN discounted tickets.Hello I’m think of October 2020
4 people 2 kids 12 and 10
And 2 adults
thanks again
Yes they can, but the problem is getting Disney's glitchy system to let you put it together the way you are wanting .. not possible. You would need to book the room separately and buy the tickets on their own to get the discounted ones. No other way to do this, sorry.But I thought the tickets can used used till the end of December 2020?
Similar scenario. We have a room booked for August and plan on purchasing Canadian tickets by Feb. Think we could then only apply a room only discount if one came up?Yes they can, but the problem is getting Disney's glitchy system to let you put it together the way you are wanting .. not possible.

Yes, this is both possible and a great idea! Getting the tickets while they're still selling the discounted ones will save you money. If you've made the reservation yourself you can go into your account and change it around as much as you want, including adding a discount. I've changed our upcoming reservation more times than i can count .. most recently even changed resorts and jumped on the discount and only had to pay the difference because we're going from a value to moderate. The reservation number is still the same one, just changed the details!Similar scenario. We have a room booked for August and plan on purchasing Canadian tickets by Feb.

I would like to hear others' experiences on this question, too, whether at a park, Disney Springs, or a hotel.Do you need to show passport for child to pick up ticket? Or do they just ask for the Adults?
That would be awesome. Did anyone else get to do this when they checked in?This past March we stayed at Beach Club as part of a package that included the Canadian resident tickets.

I currently have a room only resort reservation. Is there any way to purchase the Canadian Resident tickets and link them to MDE without converting to a package? If I try to purchase them through MDE I believe it will automatically convert my RO reservation to a package, which I do not want to do at this time. Is that correct?
I checked Expedia, but they only seem to offer the Flexible Date option for Canadian Residents. I am looking for the Canadian Resident 6-day Park Hopper tickets.
Any other options? Please help!
Deposit for a Package is $200 USD and you need to pay your reservation in full 30 days before check in. You will be charge a cancellation fee if you cancel after that mark as well.
Deposit for a Room only reservation is the cost of one night's stay and you pay the rest when you check in. You can also cancel up to 5 days before with no penalty.
In my mind it's much more cost effective to book room only --- you are still only paying a deposit and unless you're staying in a deluxe resort it's not a huge amount, but that's just me. enjoy your trip
In case anyone has insight with these early DHS hours, a Canadian is on the main Theme Parks board wondering if Guest Services will be open in time to validate their tickets so they can join a RotR boarding group.

This is what we did....got the resort discount (Fun and Sun) and Canadian Tickets as part of a Disney package. We book through Disney directly.I just wanted to confirm that the Canadian discount tickets can definitely be added to a package that includes hotel so that you only need to make a $200 deposit for the package. Then if a room only deal comes out for your planned October stay you can also call to have that added to your package as well - essentially getting the benefit of the Canadian ticket discount and any potential room discount applied to your package as well. If the website is not letting you do it online you can definitely call Disney directly for them to do it or ask a travel agent. I quite like the package route.
I used a travel agent. Originally had booked a hotel and ticket package at rack rate for August 2020 in August 2019. When the Canadian ticket rate came out Sept 2019 I just emailed my travel agent to update to those tickets and no problem. Then when the hotel room discounts came out for summer (Fun and Sun), I emailed her to apply that as well. But she had already done it! This brought down the price again. With both discounts applied to my package we saved almost $1000 US!
Im also hoping that because it’s a package as well we will only need to present passports at hotel to verify residency and not need to go to guest services.
I read some reports that they were able to show passports at the hotel when checking in and the hotel was able to activate magic bands and then they were good to go to the parks! The reports seem to be from those who had booked packages. Maybe I should start a new thread asking for recent experiences with this ...This is what we did....got the resort discount (Fun and Sun) and Canadian Tickets as part of a Disney package.

You are thinking that we wouldn't have to go to Guest Services to activate???
That would be great if the hotel can activate the Canadian tickets if part of a package. It would save time. Will definitely ask at check in.I read some reports that they were able to show passports at the hotel when checking in and the hotel was able to activate magic bands and then they were good to go to the parks!

Do you need to show passport for child to pick up ticket? Or do they just ask for the Adults?
