Yeah but we arrive 21st jan 2025, straight to the resort ASM, this is crazy for us, why would we fly there 3-7 days before our holiday just to book passes for the parks. they've really thought this one through ( not ) no perk at all for spending thousands of pounds staying in WDW, hoping they will see sense, cant believe we will be the only ones that this will effect, thx for reply
This is ridiculous. Are you not able try using VPN? Do you have family or friends in the US that can help you? I'd be willing to help you out and reserve the LL's for you so long as I'm not breaking any rules and you trust a random stranger on the internet with your login info. Lol. I'd imagine the LL's will need to be booked on your account on the WDW app?

I’ve heard the VPN won’t work, I’m not tech savvy , but that’s what a couple of comments here have said, I’m all for Disney looking after there own,but I’ve never know them cut out so many guests with this new plan they have. Will see how it goes in Jan, if we are struggling to purchase ILL and day passes , I can’t see this being an annual trip anymore, just won’t be bothered , and that’s a real bummer, we love WDW, that’s my wife's and I real happy place, great people, attractions, shows, and the Disney bubble .

Yes, the app uses GPS to identify your location. A vpn will have no effect.
Also turning off the location feature in the app doesn’t work either.
Just seen this on another forum, not sure how credible it is though.
Conflicting information from the UK trip planning forum, in a good way. See the part with the asterisk.

Nope, that was a CM who gave out duff information.Just seen this on another forum, not sure how credible it is though.

Disney later issued the clarification for Canada and restated that guests could only pre-book from the US or Canada.

Well, they only announced this a few weeks ago, so most of us international visitors were caught off guard, since we booked well before that.
Don't assume this won't have an effect on peoples' future visits.

No. If they did that, you wouldn't be able to buy anything in the parks.

They let you book ADR's from the UK just fine though.
And back in the Fast Pass+ days, you could book those too. That was only a few years ago, privacy rules haven't changed much since then (if at all).

I pity the people that thought this was a good idea, as people have said, this is still fresh , only a few weeks old, wait to the influx in the summer of worldwide guests arriving, I think it’s going to be a bumpy ride for Disney, ( not that they care ) let’s hope sense prevails

Those didn't involve a financial transaction through the app.

It isn’t privacy laws, GDPR has been in force since 2018.
It could be the online / digital safety laws. Or it could be taxation laws.

ADRs do. Mobile ordering does.
I bet Disney executives are laughing at us trying to figure out the why’s and why not’s , I’m sure the D23 event entitled Horizons, will be a new international pass for guests outside the U.S, you never know

Most adr’s I remember didn’t involve a financial transaction to hold a reservation. You weren’t pre-paying.

Hoop de Doo, CRT and a couple of others do.

You pre-authorize the card. Either way, you hand over card details.
And besides, payments aren't covered by regional privacy legislation. They fall under payment card industry standards, which are international.
