How to call WDW?

Hi! Wondering how everyone calls WDW so it doesn't cost an arm and a leg? TIA!

I think I used Hangouts? there was an app but I'm not sure if it is still supported.

Ok so I ended up getting a $4 monthly subscription using Skype for unlimited calling to the US.

I waited for 4 hours (!!!) on hold. In the meantime I power cleaned the house.

Finally got through to a Cast Member. I said I wanted to use the value of the Air Miles 7-day vouchers (which I got from the Air Miles site in 2019 to use in May 2020) to rebook for May 2022.

He put me on hold again. 10 mins later he came back on, apologizing for the wait. He said the tickets were "so old" that he didn't have them in his system. He said they were supposed to be used by 2020. He told me he had to call a bunch of people. He said they were all looking for the value and asked me to please be patient and put me on hold again.

Then the call dropped. Sigh...

we pay $10 a month to Bell for unlimited long distance to Canada and the US as part of our landline phone service

This is a little known toll free number. It’s for tickets but they can do almost anything. If they can’t do what you need them to do, they will transfer you to the right dept.

1 (888) 870-9173

I have Shaw home phone, and got them to give me discount on unlimited Canada & US long distance.

Yikes! I had to phone yesterday because it seemed my tickets disappeared from MDE. When I phoned I was given the option of a call back, wait time was 120 min, so I took call back option. Worked well.

I actually just had to call today to try to get my AP reinstated and I just downloaded Text Now and it worked great and is free

Google hangouts dialer is no longer supported . Someone else may have better luck but I couldn’t use it yesterday and I used to use it whenever I needed to call Disney.
I used the 1-888 number that Minniemoo15 posted above and it worked like a charm . Thank you !
