It's May. Chill.

Remember all the "copy" problems Disney is having this year with things just not being right in their written communication?

You mean like rundisney's issues of copying info from January marathon into their princess event guide and publishing it to the web? Ah, good times, good times.

You would think though that if they added SDMT back into the mix, they would've looked it over more closely and said ohh BTMRR isn't there either. Then again as a PP mentioned, this is Disney we're talking about sooooo....

You'd think.

But it's the same company that listed a meet and greet with the Stromtroppers at the Disneyland Halloween party one year. Strom...troppers.

It's May. Chill.

It's a discussion board, we are discussing the possibility of rides being closed that are normally open. People get all worked up over a million things on this board, this is no different.

I have to just say, I can't stand when something is bothering me and someone tells me to "relax, it's no big deal". I always try not to do that to other people because it may be a big deal to them...

On the website Thunder Mountain is now listed as open during the party!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's good news. I am hoping that Splash will be open on Aug 25. I'd like to ride it before it closes. It is one of the reasons we are considering MNSSHP for Aug 25th. It's our arrival day, we don't have a park ticket to burn.

Whoo!!

The sky is falling. Oh wait it's just rain. And yes it is still four months away.

OH to be cool and indifferent on the internet.

Seeing as most people can only ever make one Walt Disney World trip in the course of their lives, I think it's okay to look up and question what stuff will be open and if it's worth the extra money for a special event and be concerned and curious if certain hot ticket items they may never have the chance to ride/see again isn't listed.

But, ya know.

Of course it's okay. Why would a person who looks at an official list on Disney's website of open attractions during a party just assume that attractions that aren't listed as open will be added later?

People just need to post on a thread to let us know they don't care about what we are posting about on that thread.

Ah internet forums, where would we be without them.

***edited for spelling

Had to edit yet again because i got a reply!

I know in the grand scheme it wasn't a big deal, but I also emailed Disney about those rides not being listed as open and I just got this reply - emails do work sometimes people!


Thank you for contacting the Walt Disney World® Resort. We are looking forward to your upcoming visit.

We do apologize for the confusion-- we have received notification that The Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad Attractions were left off the list of open attractions for the Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Parties in error. Our website has been updated to reflect this change.

Please be assured that both Attractions are included in the list of open Attractions for the Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party.

If you have questions or need further assistance, feel free to contact us.

Sincerely,

Absolutely agree !!

Please stop making sense. Next you'll tell me if 99.99% of the park is open but 0.01% isn't that my entire trip won't be ruined.

Nice to know forums haven't changed much.

Discussion is ok. But, I do take issue that folks jump to the immediate conclusion that the sky is falling, that Disney is cutting corners, just assuming the worse. And for someone to write the article like it's fact was really irresponsible, in my opinion. Because that gets picked up and spread and before you know it, written as fact all over the place. And we all know how retractions are rarely read when articles are released with incorrect info. The incorrect info sticks, the updated, correct info never makes it out, or reaches even half as many folks.

It's the running with it as fact that irked me.

Honestly, I'm not shocked that people jumped to the conclusion that Disney was cutting corners.

On the up side, maybe Disney will get the information right on the first try next year.

I don't know what else people were supposed to assume.
The company announces a party and puts on their own website the list of rides that will be open during the party. Two of their BIGGEST rides are left off the list. Why would we just assume it's an error?

I see absolutely nothing wrong with people starting to get antsy about it and it's great people sent emails or called. Now it's fixed. You're welcome.

And I agree with @mom2rtk - perhaps they will get it right next year.

Have fun at the party everyone!

I think if they're ready to take your money for the event, it's reasonable to expect their information about the event to be accurate.

We attended MNSSHP and as much as we enjoyed all the extras the rides were just as important. We aren't lucky enough to visit the parks as often as some. This means we try to squeeze as much as possible into our trips. Having major rides down during a ticketed event would be cause for a revolt with my family. Hope the next time we get there the rides will be open for the event.

 

[sharonabe]

I know they've had limited attractions, but this one stings.
It was always a good time to ride it. Shoot.

@GeneralTso It might be a good idea for you to edit this first post with the corrected information so people aren't confused and/or misled. Thanks.

Thanks for those who posted updates that several rides that were initially not on the MNSSHP list have been added. I had planned to attend one of the Halloween parties, looking forward to the parade, the fireworks, the rides, and the Halloween atmosphere, but when I saw so many rides not on the list for the party, I changed my mind and decided not to attend. Now Disney has updated the list of rides so that most of those rides previously not on the list will be open during MNSSHP, I may change my mind again and attend the party.
