Took me 5 hours but I got mine. I still have mixed feelings about getting one due to the park reservation system.

Not an issue if you stay at a resort.

Had the Incredipass in my cart all afternoon contemplating if I should pull the trigger for my first ever AP. Well now my cart is empty (due to the overnight pause I guess), oh well!

There's always tomorrow!

I did the same thing, deciding if I really care about being able to go during the holiday weeks.

I'm from out of state, so I don't get a choice haha.

However I do love going during the holidays as that's when my family and I always are able to visit in the past (no school, work etc.)

Yeah with being out of state I can see where that would be difficult if your restricted to going the week of the holidays.

I live 30 minutes from the parks. There's ZERO reason for me to stay at the resorts.

WDW doing a master class in driving artificial demand. Lol @ needing a virtual queue to purchase an online ticket, and needing to pause those sales overnight, complete with a warning that they are “about to sell out.”

Exactly.

Except it serves no purpose other than to p*ss of their most loyal customers and fans.

If anything, you would want to treat your Pass Holders with the best possible experience, knowing full well that that experience will cary over to when they should hopefully want to eagerly use their passes.

I was in the virtual queue for 6 hours yesterday and when I finally got through I was unable to upgrade my annual pass. I called this morning and got through to an agent within 15 minutes and did it.

The hold music sucks now. I think it was just “you are the magic” on repeat.

Question,

Wife, Daughter and I are out of state Incredipass holders. My son recently turned 3. Our last family trip when he was 2 I inquired at City Hall if we would be able to buy him an Incredipass when he aged up to 3 and I was told yes. Would this current sale of AP's affect what I was told if the incredipass were to sell out? I wasn't planning on doing this AP purchase until late July during our next weeklong family trip. If I have to buy it now I will though.

Thank you.

Thank you.

As you would need reservations anyway, waiting until July gives you two different chances for that plan to go sideways. I'd call today if you are going to buy this anyway.

Disney math. LOL

I mean... Some people pay over 50k for a car, which strikes me as ridiculous, but people feel it's worth it to them. I feel like this was worth it to me. In any case, even if I only get the one trip I'm only out $700 not counting any savings I get from AP discounts I get while I'm there. Everyone makes economic decisions other people don't understand or agree with. *shrug*

And it's so loud!

Thanks, I went ahead and got it. I'm excited for our son.

It took less than 10 minutes to VQ and buy it just now.

Virtual Queue seems to have dramatically reduced in wait time to just a few minutes.

You mean like how Universal does?
