Reserve & Ride

Reserve & Ride is a service that virtually queues for you, leaving you with more time to explore the Resort! Using your mobile phone, enjoy one of our three service levels: Regular, Express, or Ultimate, and choose from up to 26 of our attractions. Reservations are made one at a time, and a prior reservation must be used or cancelled before booking the next.

1. On the Reserve & Ride website, select ‘LOGIN’ in the top right-hand corner.
2. Enter the email address your booking was made under and enter your password – this is also where you create your password if this is your first-time logging in.
   
3. Activate your session by selecting the Reserve & Ride voucher box. Select ‘REDEEM’. 
   
4. Your session is now active! 
   
5. Select ONE attraction of your choice and then tap the ‘RESERVE NOW’ button to commence your virtual wait. 
   
6. While you virtually wait; explore the Resort, visit our zoo, shops and restaurants, or, if you have time, ride a different attraction. 
   
7. When the countdown ends and your QR code appears, present your QR code to a member of staff at the Reserve & Ride entrance to gain entry. 
   
8. Enjoy your ride on the attraction and repeat!

If you require assistance at any time with your Reserve & Ride, visit The Hub in Mexicana or Guest Help & Information by the Mane Stage.

Attractions are set to ‘full’ by the Reserve & Ride team when the maximum number of guests using Reserve & Ride and/or Ride Access Pass waiting to enter an attraction is reached. To avoid significant delays in the physical queue lines, online reservations are temporarily stopped to allow time for the Rides & Attractions team to clear the queue. This is normally only for a short while. Please try reserving another one of your favourite attractions and check back later!
