HalloweenTime at DLR Superthread #4

[CassieScraps]

I got in right at 7:00am PT and was told that they weren't ready to take orders for Disney Visa cardholders and that I should try back in an hour.

Well, cool. By the time they answer, I should be good to go. 28 mins and counting on hold now, lol.

We're interested in doing the Party (either on Wed., Sept. 30 or Fri., Oct. 2) but primarily to enjoy lower wait times for rides. What average wait times can we expect on those dates? Is it worth shelling out money for tickets if we are primarily interested in shorter wait times? Thanks in advance to anyone who can share their personal experience.

I called 714-781-4400, but I set my cell phone to auto redial and it tried until it got a ring tone. Now I'm just enjoying Disney music for 38 mins now, hahaha. Thank goodness for bluetooth headphones.

Today's mchat article said there's an option to have the ticket on your mobile device. Has anyone tried that yet? I want to do that but after months of dealing with Disney technology for wdw, I'm frightened.

I haven't bought anything with an AP discount from home before. Will I just need the AP number or do I need to register it somewhere ahead of time?

Cassie - Are you buying with a Disney Visa? I can't get through anymore.

You'll need to create an account on the Disneyland website and link it to your AP.

As DVC I can buy 8 tickets. But I have to wait on hold. I can buy online as an AP, but the website says
Price for Passholders
Item(s) are priced for Passholders only. For each ticket or pass purchased at the Passholder price, you must show a valid Passholder ID at the park entrance. For room reservations, you must show a valid adult Passholder ID at Resort check-in.

I was buying 4 for my immediate family and 4 for my sister's family - no APs. Is this okay or do I need to wait on hold?

I'm trying too. Been on hold now for 58 mins. I'm going to forget why I called pretty soon. I've been working and reading emails, going through the mail, talking to my boss.....

Can someone who's on the phone with Disney ask about the status of tickets for Halloween night? Thanks in advance!

I too am trying to find this info. It seems you can buy tix on the web for the other dates, but Halloween is unavailable? What gives? Of course, I can't get through to speak to anyone and chat is unavailable.

On hold music..."It's a small world after all, it's a small world after all, it's a small world after all...it's a small, small, world".

Jealous (but happy for) of all you AP and Disney Visa folks getting your tickets today! I'm anxiously staring at the 29th on my calendar!

Thanks! Since we don't live in the area and couldn't get back since our last visit, I really had no reason to even check on this before.

So, I booked through Costco, and called their number just now: 8778492730, and was the first person she has had on the phone today, added both party nights to our package and paid with my Disney visa. All set!

Someone commented on Erin's post that they waited on hold for 45 minutes only to be told that Disney Visa tickets haven't been loaded into the system yet and to try back later. I've been trying to get through on and off since about 10am EST but haven't gotten past the busy signal yet, but I'm trying to buy Visa tickets so now I don't know if I should just wait until later or what. Has anyone successfully bought tickets as a Disney Visa cardholder?
