Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[teach22180]

Yep. There’s obviously something wrong. There doesn’t seem to be a clear set of rules.

Possibly people are trying for sold out days? Or their AP isn't properly linked?

I have a on-site stay in July for four days and I have park passes for that. On this morning, I booked 3 park passes for an off-site stay in October (AP only). A few minutes ago, I added a 4th day. So I have both on-site and off-site this year, with an AP in both cases, and booked 4 parks passes on AP alone instead of 3.

I have two onsite reservations that I have a total of 18 park days reserved. I was able to book an additional 5 AP days today! Not sure why there is such inconsistency?!

 

[roth697]

Shouldn't the AP preview e-mail get sent soon? We are less then two weeks out from the 9th. Does anyone know what the time frame was between the Pandora e-mail and previews or the SWGE e-mail and previews?

Intentional or not, it's misinformation that has caused confusion for a lot of people. This situation is so fluid that jumping the gun on getting information out first is becoming an issue.

It’s what she was told by someone at disney. Even disney doesn’t know what’s going on half the time. A disney spokesperson said the system has no glitches and it’s the guests fault if they experience anything wrong. That’s certainly not true.

I know. I wasn’t expecting it. I just did it like 10 minutes ago...maybe something changed?

ETA: something is up with my ticket...I just was able to make 6 not tied to resort reservations... through January..picked months I didn’t have trips.

I was able to make 4 not tied to resort reservations, but then I got scared and deleted one. I don't want to mess up my reservations for my upcoming stay in July/Aug. :-/

 

[Perdita&Pongo]

My goodness this park pass thing is seriously messed up! So many inconsistencies like there’s 20 different sets of rules. Someone was drunk when they drafted the flow chart of if/then statements. Talk about ‘hold my beer’!

 

[Mal6586]

Some of y'all are braver than me. I'm too scared to try to reserve any additional days outside my resort reservation (7/13-7/17) just in case some IT update decides to whittle me back down to what I'm "supposed" to have. I wouldn't be able to get some of the ones attached to my resort reservation again if they went missing!

She’s correct in that this is how it’s supposed to work. The system is the same one that was used for FP+ so the idea was that similar restrictions would be put into place (i.e. a limit on AP reservations to a certain number or length of stay, whichever is more but not both). This comes directly from Disney. Just because some are getting through with more than they’re officially “allowed” doesn’t mean that’s misinformation. It’s a glitch, and because it’s a glitch, Disney theoretically could take away any extra reservations made outside of the rules they’ve established. Will they? I don’t know, but everyone has been warned.

 

[Perdita&Pongo]

Let’s see: if it’s a Tuesday and you are wearing purple, then....

 

[Spridell]

I am still NOT able to make any other park reservations besides my resort stays.

Still getting same error.

 

[Spridell]

No, incorrect. This is more misinformation and hasn't been confirmed by anyone with actual knowledge of the system. I currently holding length of stay reservations and an additional 3 outside of that stay.

Carlye DOES get information before others and has some sources. She has been accurate in the past

 

[Spaceguy55]

Update...I was just able to go in and make 5 more non resort pass days for some days in oct and dec even with having 15 resort stay days booked...so not sure what's going on

OK. There are a lot of people that have sources and get information from Disney. Some make the information public and some don't. Regardless, there is absolutely a first-to-market mentality with "confirmed" news that really should be vetted before being released.

 

[FinallyFL]

I shudder to think what the code for this system looks like . It's probably what used to be called spaghetti code.

 

[hereforthechurros]

She just posted on Insta that it appears this was an error that was happening when things first launched but seems to have been corrected. Has anyone booked more than than they should have in the last few minutes?

 

[hereforthechurros]

There goes ^that^ theory.

 

[jade1]

So I assume the soonest dates are filling for local AP without a stay, so that after those dates go by-they can start reserving more dates.

Kind of an ongoing cycle for folks that go once or twice a week.

But at this rate, it appears the next month or more could block out for this group.

 

[Friendlyadvice2]

She just posted on Insta that it appears this was an error that was happening when things first launched but seems to have been corrected. Has anyone booked more than than they should have in the last few minutes?

Yes, I just did; I picked an obscure day with full availability. However, I quickly cancelled it because the last thing I want to do is hold a reservation that I'm not going to use that may prevent someone from getting it that really needs.

So I was chatting with IT yesterday. She noticed that I have 17 days held (I have 2 trips in 2020). She told me we’re supposed to be limited to 14 like with FastPasses and not to be surprised if a few of my days fall off.

That's actually what I thought, but others were getting more days, so I was hoping that they had at least changed that. It's nuts.
