Unbelievable

I don't remember who said it, but it certainly applies with this last minute reservation delay.

"D23 Expo will require your patience. Try to be flexible and avoid being hangry"

Just got an alert from D23 app - new time is 1:00 PM pst.

Reset those meeting invites!

My doctor says I need to lower my blood pressure. D23 is not helping.

The amount of times I refreshed the page.....

 

[Robinjay]

Thank you for the update! You all are the best!
The app just updated me as well. I am on vacation with limited internet reception and planned to be at a computer just for this. grrrrrr

 

[Mathmagicland]

That was good practice for 1:00...NOT.

Just got this alert too - 11 minutes after it was supposed to be open. Nice job as usual.

Here, too -- and after the number of times I got the "server cannot be found" page in response! "Ladies and Gentlemen, It's the D23 Show! Again!"

Past attendees, it's my first D23 and I'm only going on Friday. I'm hoping to get into the Legends Panel but not willing to sleep over night (my bones are too old for that). I've read that Legends tends to be easiest panel to get into, but still unsure.

If I arrive at the convention at 7:30, is that enough time to get through security and be accepted in the Gold line? Or should I try and get a stage pass or standby? What's your advice?

Try for a StagePass. You have guaranteed access to the panel with that.

If you really want it, I would suggest Stage pass - last Expo, they stopped letting people into the basement around 6am. They held everyone else outside until around 9 a,m as the overnighters and earlier arrivals have to get brought upstairs and inside first. No telling how far back in the crowd you may be at 7:30 or how long it might take you to get in,

A multi-billion dollar company and they can't handle internet traffic. LOL. And so the waiting game continues...

It's not so much that they can't handle it, but that this happens after how many events? We were all expecting something like this. Weren't they?

My daughter did too. She has training at 3:00 which is when it’s supposed to go live for us now. She was supposed to take Friday and I had Saturday. Whoever got theirs finished first had Sunday. I’ve drafted my husband and given him a crash course in trying to get passes. Ugh!

Exactly! Perhaps it would have been easier for them if they had an exact number of the amount of tickets sold for the event and on which days people would attend. It might also be helpful if they had a date in mind and set that date and time for over a week, just to prepare and get the kinks out of things....oh wait, they do!

I should have known better. This is my first expo but based on MDE and the website issues....yeah. I should have expected this

I woke up at 5am Sydney time for this.

So tired.
