Thank you for posting this! I went to the site when it was still under construction a month or two ago but forgot to check if it was up. It is downloading now

ok mine doesn't work. I can't get it to install. Anyone else having problems with it being compatible with Windows 7?

ME! I can't get it to load on Windows 7 either. I was actually here to ask the very same question. I hpe someone can help us.

Got my widget today. I must admit it is kind of cool. I like the countdown and they give you tips about what steps you should take next in your vacation planning. It does take a while to download, but once it does the widget works fine.

Has anyone been able to actually download & use the widget? I just tried to install it on an xp & that didn't work either.

 

[Disneybridein2k3]

Hmmm. Mine works fine on my mac running snow leopard.

eta: just got a twitter update from Disney that says they are aware of some downloading issues with the widget and are posting updates on the blog:

Mine seemed to launch the first time but then nothing. It would just circle around at 15% loaded. Thanks for the update, I guess we'll have to wait until tomorrow.

I got it to download and I was able to input trip information and play around with it a bit, but now it won't come back up. It's on my desktop, but when I click on it nothing happens. Tried right click to open, nothing that way either.
Why am I not surprised?

I did love Pluto pushing the Mickey suitcase onto my desktop...really cute! Sort of like the "Tinkerbell flying around my screen." issue though.

I'm having the same problems as you guys.

Disney needs to smack it's IT department round the back of the head!

I installed it on my Windows 7 laptop a few days ago. Works great for me. Not a bad little widget. Some of the features are marked "coming soon" so can't wait to see those.

 

[Sphyrna]

Mine's working today. Eh, it's ok. Many items are still coming soon. I'll have to play with it some more now that it's working, but so far it doesn't seem all that useful.

Doesn't woprk for me either - tried several times yesterday.
Site is not working today.
Maybe soon...

Mine too! Can't wait for everything to open up. Seems really great though I love the countdown.

I just checked and it said the same thing as well. I believe my MIL has this on her computer and she loves it!!! Maybe by the time I get home from work tonight, it'll be ready!!!
