So I'm curious, what ended up happening? Did the confusion get cleared and your card swiped? If not, what was the expectation, that you would pay OOP and then submit for reimbursment?

We also dont know how much of that is CM's just not paying attention when they are told something.. Having to deal with employees, some of them unless you beat them repeatedly over the head with something about a million times, it just doesnt sink in.. Once it's in there, they are great lol.. But getting there in the first place sometimes...

I bet if this system changeover could have been done in the wee hours of the morning, it would have been. Apparently it's going to take somewhere in the vicinity of 20 or so hours to complete; early mornings just don't last that long, and spreading it out over five or six days wouldn't work.


If you read the original post, other posts by the OP, and responses from two Cast Members - you'll see it's expected to be completed by 3 PM today.

There is NO system change that can't be done in the wee hours of the morning... it does mean you have to take the wee hours of the morning for FIVE days and you have to plan it that way all along, but that's they way it's done in critical situations or in places where they realize IT works for the company not vice versa LOL!

If my company did this folks would literally DIE so we have learned... no IT doesn't get any sleep for a week, but that's a good trade off in our view.

Disney's IT needs to be completely redone. They think "cute" is more important then "function" and then they pull stunts like this... just bizarre!

I'm at BC and have had no issues using my KTTWC for charging. I'm not on the DDP, so can't comment on that.

I just want to know when I can book ressies. :D

Trying to PAY Disney almost $7K to pay off our 11 person family vacation and cannot access our reservations. STILL. Ridiculous.
