Since we announced that hotel registration was open, we have received lots of questions about the reservation process and the free theme park ticket offer. We hope this list of Frequently Asked Questions with answers will help.
Q: When does Mickey & MINI take place and can I extend my hotel stay at the $109 per night rate?
A: Mickey & MINI 10 takes place Friday-Sunday, September 26-28, 2014. The $109 per night rate is good for three days before and three days after the event if you want to extend your stay. To reserve these extra days before or after the event dates, you MUST call Disney’s Group Reservations Office at 407-939-4686 (Monday-Friday, 8:30am – 6:00pm).
Q: When will online hotel reservations open?
A: Very soon, likely tonight or tomorrow.
Q: I called Disney’s Group Reservations Office but they didn’t know about the buy one, get one free 1-Day, 1 Theme Park tickets.
A: The special 1-Day, 1 Theme Park, Disney After 4pm tickets for $59 can only be purchased through attendance at a Disney-hosted event. This special price is offered by Disney and available to all event guests. However, the buy one, get one free offer is being made by Mickey & MINI only available to registered hotel guests. Disney’s Group Reservations representatives may not know about this offer.
Mickey & MINI is making the buy one, get one free 1-Day, 1 Theme Park ticket offer to the first 50 attendees who book at room at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort.
The offer is one free 1-Day, 1 Theme Park ticket per ROOM (not per person).
Q: How will I get my free 1-Day, 1 Theme Park ticket?
A: The free tickets will be available for pickup at the Mickey & MINI Registration table on Friday or Saturday. Please contact us if you are arriving early and want to pick up your ticket to use before Friday.
Q: Tickets can be purchased separately from the room reservation. Do I need to book a room at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort to get the buy one, get one free 1-Day, 1 Theme Park ticket offer?
A: Yes. See above.
Q: Am I one of the first 50 hotel reservations? How will you know who gets the free tickets?
A: Disney sends us regular lists of hotel rooms booked with names. We will match that list with the list of discount ticket purchasers to determine who is eligible to receive a free theme park ticket. We will announce when the free tickets are gone. Please check back on this website or our Facebook page for announcements on the status of the special ticket offering.
Q: How long do we have to purchase discounted theme park tickets?
A: Discounted group theme park admission tickets must be prepaid in full at the time of purchase and must be purchased at least 10 days prior to check-in day.
Q: Last year the Disney After 4pm tickets were free. Why aren’t they free this year?
A: Last year, Disney made this offer to attract large groups to their resort hotels. Although we had a great turnout last year for MM9, we did not meet the quotas established by Disney to repeat that offer. Instead, the Mickey & MINI planners are making the buy one, get one free offer from our budget.
