1/1/18 Here Now MDE down?

[BunBun]

Anyone else down? We lost our FP’s, and no one in our party of 7 can see or use them. Sad face!

 

[supersnoop]

Mine are working, but I can’t get in to change/update anything. Have you tried a kiosk?

 

[BunBun]

We have. Even tried guest services. They gave us a paper pass for TOT, but on our own for the rest.

Is it crowded at DHS today?

 

[anomamatt]

It’s working again. For me at least.

 

[J and R's mom]

We arrive tomorrow but I wanted to go online this morning and make some changes to our FPs for Wednesday. The website was down. I kept getting error messages.

ETA--I can get on-line now and make changes.

It was up like 5 minutes ago...?

Is it crowded at DHS today?

Considering the weather, yes. We got here about 20 min ago. I was surprised to see as many as the are. We came because I have the dessert party booked otherwise we'd be at Splitsville

 

[BunBun]

Stores and restaurants are jam packed. Walkways are easy, but it’s freakin cold. Took about three hours for our MDE to come back up again.

Waiting for our ADR then we are outta here.

Thanks for the response, AngiTN!

Did they end up cancelling Fantasmic? We did the dinner package but it was so wet and cold (forecast before we left said 10deg warmer for this week and we didn’t bring anything warmer than hoodies because we are northerners) and our kids all have a horrible cough that we just left the park at 5. Curious if it was cancelled because we may consider adding a day to go back specifically for that.....

I believe they did. It quit raining. We were not doing it but from what I can tell they didn't have it. I know they didn't give any FP for it all day and there were no fireworks for it (we are just leaving now)

I have this odd sense of accomplishment that I was in the same Park as Angi today! FPs were usable even though they weren't visible in every view in the app. I tried persuading the wife it was "drizzling" and not raining. She was not amused. It barely registered on radar. That wind really picked up this evening!

 

[LindyWebb]

I was at MK and made was out for about an hour. Thankful fp for space mountain worked fine! I was not crowded at all. I was shocked. Attempting a rd for fop tomorrow. Wish me luck!

Lol. We are both officially certifiable!
It was not too bad till the wind blew. B then it sucked!

We ended up getting there in time to do the Frozen sing along, which had new parts for holidays. Then dessert party and fireworks. We had FP for morning that we opted to just not use. One of our FP from morning had converted to an anytime (RnR was down) so we used it on Star Tours. First time seeing the new scenes. Had managed to move our ToT to late but got notice it went down so the one turned in to and anytime any park pass for tomorrow.

We're due at AK but we're just going to do our FoP pass then leave and head somewhere else. None of the animals will be out

 

[Disnsyncey]

side note, when we were in WDW in October, MDE was down for probably 4-8 hours apparently (I had just flown in, so I wasn't sure when it started) and though you couldn't look at MDE, or do anything with it, your FP+ still worked....so if you knew when they were, you were fine

Most of the animals will probably be out even with the cooler temps. Many of the animals prefer the cooler temps and will be more active than you might otherwise see them. I would not assume that the animals will not be out. You can try calling or checking the Disney site for information on the animals.

I'm not assuming. We've been here when it's this cool and the animals have been a bust. They are not acclimated to the cool temps and they keep many of them in.

Though I should not say none of the animals as that is wrong. Some will be but enough will be put up that we'll pass. We've had a great safari on Thursday anyway

Nope, they ran Fantasmic last night, and it was the full show, not the short, bad-weather version. I showed up about 15 minutes before showtime and was literally able to sit front and center (mostly because no one wanted to sit in the splash zone). The loudest cheer during the entire show was for Maleficent’s fire, and some people actually booed when Mickey put it out.
