Booking window cheat sheet
💡
How to read this
Booking windows are earlier for Disney resort guests than for off-property visitors. Each crew card below has a 🏨 Disney Resort / 🏢 Off-Property / ⇆ Show bothtoggle — tap to switch. Confirm where each crew is staying and the page updates with the exact dates and times. Multiple parties? Leave it on “Show both” — you'll see both windows side-by-side.
Dates auto-derive from each crew's hotel stays on the Family tab — edit a check-in date there and these windows shift accordingly.
