"we are unable to fully complete your request due to system challenges..."

For half an hour now

yea me too.....guessing when/if we get in there isn't going to be much left.

At least the Free Dining can't be booked online today (Disney VISA only, have to call)....the system would never recover!

I'm in the system but I'm getting about 5-8 "I'm sorry" dialogue boxes before it'll let me advance one page.

I just now booked a SDMT FP for May 30th and every time slot was available. Keep refreshing!

well just for fun... when I finally did get through it told me no one in my party was eligible for fastpass + (although we've already had FP+s for weeks now). Then FINALLY was able to get one just for myself. And THEN was able to get the kids copied onto mine. Only problem was that 7DMT had the same time as me but Space Mt and Splash Mt times are different for them now. Oh well... I'll fix that later I hope.

To quote Dory....just keep swimming guys. I was so stressed as I kept refreshing the page b/c we are only going to be in MK one day (June 11th) but I was able to grab all 4 of us FP+s for the Mine Train.

Ah. I can breathe now.

I got to the final step of selecting my 7DMT FP+ time and the system would tell me to try again later. I logged out and then back in and saw that the FP+ had gone through and been added to my account. If you got to the point where you can select a time, you may actually have a FP+.

 

[cheermouse]

I am getting the same thing, no fast passes selected. How did you resolve that?

Here is what was so confusing or strange about the date. Last night when you went on the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train attraction page you go the promo animation that asked you questions to recruit you as a new miner.

At one point the info said the ride would be open in 14 days, but at the end of the animation it said the mine would be training new dwarfs in 18 days. That would have put the opening on the 15th or 19th. We are booked to be in MK both those days. So the announcement of the 28th today was a real disappointment.

By being more transparent. They announced the May 2nd media date a long time ago. A whole lot of people assumed that with that kind of lead time that Disney was going to open the ride within a day or two of that event. They assumed that because this has been Disney's MO for as long as I can remember. That was probably the original plan, since the date aligns with a slow time at WDW.

The result - people booked vacations around that date hoping and expecting to be able to ride this attraction this week or next.

When it became clear to Disney that this was not going to be the case, they could/should have made some sort of announcement so patrons could adjust vacation plans where possible. They did not do so because they did not want to lose the revenue during a relatively slow time of the year.

To avoid problems with FP+ you just need to announce the opening date 3-4 weeks in advance, but it could be months in advance - the longer the lead time, the better.

Are you telling me that they just found out today that this ride was not going to be ready until 5/28? Let's be real - they knew a long time ago. They delayed the announcement to avoid lost revenue.

If people assumed that the ride would officially open right after the media event, and made vacation plans based on that, they did so at their peril. Maybe waiting for an official announcement would have been more prudent.

by the time i got through - no fast passes left on May 31st. hoping we can ride during evening emh on june 1st.

 

[momtosam]

Wow! You couldn't have missed my point any more if you tried. Hmmm...

 

[andreajanowiak]

Just got both an Anna and Elsa fastpass and a 7DMT for the same day

 

[Princess 'n LA]

Got my FP+ for SDMT for June 2 at 2:15! Excited!

 

[3CallmeMommy]

Anxious to buy my ticket next week so I can get mine!

 

[BalooLibLady]

So disappointed that they are waiting so long to officially open it. Our last day is May 27, and we only are there 3 days anyway. Was hoping to ride it. Crossing my fingers for a soft opening while we are there.

Why does the animation on the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Ride attraction page say "Training begins in 11 days"?



When you complete the questionnaire it says "Come back May 16th to finish your training."



Anyone have a guess what this is about since the announced ride opening is May 28th?

I would imagine it has nothing to do with the actual ride but some sort of online game involving the ride will begin on May 16th
