If I book a hotel on orbitz but I'm staying on property and purchase tickets separately am I still able to book FPs 60 days out?

(running some numbers for a quick weekend trip)

THANKS!

Just be aware that sometimes Orbitz provides the Disney reservation number automatically in your confirmation email, but sometimes you have to email Orbitz customer service to get the number.

I've had it both ways. Last year we stayed at POFQ for 5 nights, this year we're 1 night at Coronado before transferring to a DVC rental. Both were booked through Orbitz.

Just did a search of my email, I found a confirmation with Orbitz for a stay at Coronado Springs in late May/early June 2014. There is a "Hotel Confirmation Number" which begins with a number followed by five letters. (e.g. 0XXXXX).

Hotel​

Disney's Coronado Springs Resort hotel details | map
Hotel confirmation number: 0XXXXX
1001 West Buena Vista Drive, Lake Buena Vista, FL 32830 US
Phone: 407-939-1000​

I recall inputting that into MDE and it worked. But they could have changed how things are displayed in the confirmation email two years later.

Yeah, apparently they changed the information sent out in their emails.

My Orbitz confirmation for our reservation in October 2014 included the Disney reservation number as yours did, plus a link to the MDE website to login and link it.
My Orbitz email for my reservation this October 2016 (made a couple months ago) did not have that info and I had to email them.

I believe Orbitz was bought by Expedia at some point, so that may have something to do with it...

Yeah. The Expedia and Orbitz apps are carbon copies of each other.

Neither. You have to email Orbitz customer service to get the Disney reservation number.

Just go to the Orbitz website and go to the Hotels section. If there's a code it's usually mentioned somewhere on the page.

Or sign up for their emails.

It's also possible they don't have one at this moment, but another may be along in a few days. Unless you desperately need to book right now, I'd wait a little while.
