Yes this was always the danger and was a very likely outcome. Bets on which pass will sell out first? I'm going to go for Pirate Pass.

 

[Diznyfan]

Agreed, if any of the passes were to sell out first, I'd bet it on the Pirate Pass.

I second Pirate given it's value.

 

[Ayla]

Any of the passes that people don't have to pay in full for (while taking advantage of all the benefits) will sell out.

It was going to be around 4am est Friday for us in the online queue, so we called. Got a person in about 45 mins. Long story short, we booked a hotel right after and decided to take a trip starting tonight...lol

I got on the online queue at 7 am and purchased the incredible passes at 2:10 pm. (Used my cell phone thank god so I could just keep checking it)

Is this a online only sale? What would happen if someone went to a ticketing location, they aren't allowed to sell you it to skip the queue?

You can purchase them at Disney Springs it seems-

Ticketing is very prepared for queues at Disney Springs, complete with virtual and physical queue.

Intriguing, could it be based off when one was called.

How are you getting past the queue? I purchased a pass an hour or two ago and the queue appears again when I try to view the page.

 

[Squishy]

Apparently phone reps are also able to purchase the passes for you once you get through the phone queue which is shorter than the online one.

As what was happening to @wdwmagic earlier, whenever I click on the link it just takes me to the purchase page.
