Reservations

I can't get through on the phone, or online...I agree, I am sure they will have tons of cancellations today also

When I can get into the app I don't even see it as an option anywhere?

Should have stayed on the phone. It was a 2 hour wait but now "all circuits are busy". This is a total nightmare.

I think a lot of reservations will probably be cancelled today. No use going to the resorts if you can't get into the parks.

I agree. If we cannot get into the parks, we will cancel, but for now I'll just "Hang in there" as the message says..

I don't think it mattered. I was in and waiting and it threw me out to start over anyway.

Do you know where to go on the app once I can get in?

what makes people think they wont get into a park?
pretty sure if you are staying on site or offsite there will be spots available.

Yes, we have resort reservations and AP's, so I think we will eventually get through today to make park reservations. I was just disappointed that I was already in and waiting and....

You can’t use the app for park reservations. Website only.

Big question is, How far out can you make a park reservation? My arrival date is December 7. Figured I'd ask since I am "hanging in there" !

yes frustrating.
it wasn't a dig.
it was a genuine query. Pretty sure the parks are no where near capacity on a normal day so with an amount less than that its still loads of people, resort, APR and non resort.

im non resort september/oct if all is well. So it'll be interesting to see whats left? im sure we will never know a true figure

You might be right. What good is my reservation for BLT on July 13 if we can't use our annual passes? No luck on the phone so far and we can't get anywhere on the app or website either. Good luck everybody.

Im assuming it is just not an option on that page yet cause they are having problems this morning. I guess it will update, eventually.

Soooo... I figured since I have to sit and stare at this "Just a moment" screen, I would make chocolate chip pancakes. It really does make the waiting easier. If I have to wait all day, I'll go for the burger and beer later.

Mine says " We're almost in Orbit" and has a countdown clock. It has reached 0:00 2 times already, then sets itself back to 15 minutes.

Would you want to bet your vacation on it? During peak times at DL they stop letting people in the parks because the reach capacity doesn't matter if you are staying at a Disney hotel or not. It wouldn't be a shock to me if they sold more hotel rooms than they have space in for people in the parks because most likely they will be trying to make assumptions on the percent of guests that would be in one park vs another and if more guests than they expect decide they want MK and Studios while giving EPCOT and AK a cold shoulder then you could easily be forced to go to a park you didn't want to spend time in or be locked out completely. I would wait and see what things look like after the fallout from the first week or reservations is done.

yeah that true.

i'd just have to make it a universal holiday lol.
if they reach capacity.


fun spot it is lol

YAY! Got the countdown clock. Something new to look at while I wait. Keeps resetting when it gets to 5 minutes, but at least farther along than 2 hours ago.

 

[MissViv]

Has anyone gotten through? On the moms panel it said that the reservation system did not go live at 7:00 a.m. and they would update when it does. So ..... who knows?

 

[wendysue]

Went through the countdown clock to 0, then it went to a blank white screen and that's where it sits. Not sure what is happening.
