Why does the calendar never work on disney.com?

[Pete C]

This is probably the 5th time I've gone to Disney's website and not been able to view anything on the calendar. I have tried 2 machines and different browsers. Anyone else have this issue? This is a major aspect of vacation planning, so I don't know why this thing never works.

Hmm it worked for me. Maybe you have to download a plug-in or something?

Well now they don't tell you what's not operating or what's being rehabbed...and there's no user-friendly way to find that out. I can find the info here, but it should be readily available for casual surfers...I hate having to search.

I also can't find the refurb page anymore.
Anyone have more info?

Yeah, the calendar is working now. Weird, I have seen it not working on several occasions.

It's been such a love / hate relationship with this silly site. I'm currently loathing the online payment portion, and the itinerary - but the calendar is working! :hammer:

Fixed.

A better question would be "What actually does work on the official sites?"

Not much...regularly.

I've always thought that they should turn the site over to some High School students instead of their IT people. It would behave much better.

Am I missing something?
I see the calendar(s), but where are the refurbishment dates listed?

There's ALWAYS something askew.

I gave up! I wrote down the dates the other night. Now I just have to get my list to Pam for our reservations!

It's as simple as this...the site is complete garbage. Who is coding this thing? What are their QA standards? I think I know now why the Yeti isn't working. Every time I do a resort search and try to change to a different resort the results pull back that last thing I looked at. Then I start over and just search on Moderates and I get a single moderate resort. It's horrible. I am amazed that a website with as much traffic as this one could have so many obvious defects. Where is their QA team?

Hi Guys.

We now have a very fast and easy to use Calendar inlcuding EMH and refurbs on WDWMAGIC at http://www.wdwmagic.com/calendar.htm

Refurb information is located here:

http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/calendars/?asmbly_startDate=20090603&asmbly_endDate=20090613

I got here by mousing over "Plan" in the main menu and then picking "Park Hours".
