How long to hear from Disney on GAD?

Possibly but from what I have read the coordinator can't verify until the day after but must complete verification with 72 hours of my volunteering. So I should have been verified by Tuesday at 8am, which would be the time that any MLK volunteers could start getting verified. As of now I still haven't gotten the email with vouchers, we are leaving in about 30 mins so I have stopped worrying about it. Once we get up there we will decide if we will now upgrade our passes to Seasonal Passes or just go only 1 day. I have my iPhone so I will post if we get the vouchers while we are there. Overnight they have sent me 2 more resort confirmations. Receiving 12 email confirmations for my room in the past 62 hours seems a bit much.

I am still waiting for mine too! I checked and it still says pending verification!

Too funny about soo many cofirmations.

I checked into the hotel at just before 12 and I just got an email from Disney. Is it possible I finally got the vouchers? NO! It's another conformation. Lol

Still nothing for me either...I guess kinda getting worries because it was CRAZY when we volunteered. POURING....my name was not on the sheet...but she said it was not accurate or something, so she had everyone sign in...but then that sheet got all wet so she went and re-typed another one. I guess I will wait the full 2 weeks like it says!

I volunteered on Sunday 1/17 (a truly great experience!) and am also in "pending" mode.

In case it's interesting to anyone, I found a set of FAQs for organizations on Hands on Network. I would post the link but the system won't allow it since I have too few posts under my belt. But you can pull it up if you google: handson disney what is required of a verifying organization

It explains that organizations commit to verify participation within 72 hours and could be at risk of removal from the program if they don't. It also says they will get a reminder at the end of 72 hours and another one 72 hours after that. That would seem to reduce the chance that an organization would just lose track of someone.

My guess is that there's a backlog in getting everything processed not only because there were lots of MLK weekend volunteers, but also because there are so many new organizations coming online as the program really gets rolling. The very quick turnarounds some people were reporting may become rarer.

Latest update checked email as we were walking from car to DHS, only one tram running and we right behind AAA Diamond parking. I upgraded our FL 3 day ticket to Seasonal passes, we to get FP for TSM, walked to ToT, DD16 riding I am to chicken it's been 12 years since I rode it.

Anyway just as I sit down to wait and people watch I check my email and there is an email with the vouchers time 8:14, But the good news and pixie dust is that I didn't have DD16 ticket and I had to replace mine in November, DGS3 had gotten ahold of them. So after the upgrade mine says it expires in Nov and DD16 expires one year from now. They should expire in Sept. So now what will we do with the vouchers.
