Holy Ever Loving Crap!! 
I called WDW Dining at around 1:45 PM today and they said that it would only last an hour! Looks like it will take much longer than that! Does anyone know if the rides are affected too????

All of the parks are WDW.GaryT977 said:
As for the rides it is very unlikely that any were affected. The rides computers systems are entirely separate from the main system. Only the Fast Pass would be affected at individual attractions. Other than that areas such as stores, ticketing, restaurants, check-in, and reservations will be down.
Also this is not an uncommon event, WDW has a huge networked computer system, and it is not out of the ordinary for it to go down for periods of time. I have seen a few times over the years. In fact just three weeks ago the resort wide computer system was down for about an hour. However other than taking reservations they can handle most everything else. The restaurants, stores, and ticketing are equipped to operate without the computers albeit slowly.

Everything will be working fine by dinner time. Not to mention since your trip is a week away it is likely they will have a problem again before you go.imagineer boy said:

Nope because Harry Potter will prevent that from happening by casting a few spells from his brand new attraction in Magic Kingdom.
