Book Disney Tickets With Chase Ultimate Rewards
Update/Edit – Looks like it is only working for park tickets at the moment. I wouldn’t be surprised to see hotels added in the near future but there is no time frame at this point. The park tickets only seem to be showing up for CSR cardholders as well.
A few months back we covered that Disney and Chase had split ways for the time being. This was a little shocking since Chase provides the Disney credit cards. We assumed the issue was because of Chase’s change over to Expedia running their Ultimate Rewards portal. That is why we thought it would most likely return at some point and was only a temporary thing. People were still able to book their Disney vacations and park tickets via Citi’s ThankYou portal at 1.25 cents per point. But you can now book Disney vacations with Chase Ultimate Rewards once again. The same packages available on Citi’s portal are now bookable at 1.5 cents per point with your Chase Sapphire Reserve card.

Details
Here is a screen shot Shawn was able to pull up in his Chase Ultimate Rewards portal. The tickets were pricing out at 1.5 cents a piece and were pretty competitive price wise overall.
Conclusion
Disney is one of the more expensive vacations (see how to do it for pennies on the dollar here) out there so having more points options available is always better. Especially since it is possible to get a 1.5 cents per point with Chase versus 1.25 cents with Citi.
Do you ever use the Chase portal to book Disney vacations? Are you excited to see it return?

I see the hack for the tickets but how do you get the hotels to show up? I am on CSR and don’t see any hotels.
Shawn is saying he was unable to get hotels to show up at this time either. I am not sure why they would bring back the tickets but not the hotels at the same time. Hopefully they do in the near future.
I have updated the post – thanks.
Hi Mark, I don’t have a CSP so couldn’t check this out but a couple of people on FB travel group tried and couldn’t see any Disney tickets so you’re likely correct. I hope Chase does roll out further since Disney is such a big deal to many families with kids. LOL – I celebrated my 60th at DL Paris and had dinner with all the big characters! Great day. Take Care! Vegas tomorrow….wifey’s birthday.
Sounds like an awesome birthday. Enjoy Vegas – good luck!
Do you mind sharing the FB group name? Would love to join.

I must have missed that somehow. I’ll check it out! Thanks!
I’m not seeing any Disneyworld tickets or hotels.
Bob, may only work for CSR cardholders. But check out this process for Disneyland. And for DW use Orlando in search city and select Universal Studios link and scroll to bottom of page for DW tickets. http://yorkshiretraveler.com/amazing-deal-free-disney-tickets/
That would be my guess as well – it has been rolled out to CSR people and then will make its way to other cards in a few weeks.
