News Round Up 2019

I’ll be honest since I’ve been AP I’ve never noticed a missing email.

But then there’s those of us that have never received any AP emails at all...ever... :-(

I wonder what they could do to fix it. Most major email servers do have some sort of issue usually where not everyone gets every email. I’d like to know something like a major store or something that does emails and how many actually receive emails compared to Disney.

Couldn’t they announce this and send out the e-mails a week or two before the links go long be? This way would be more time for people to see it and see if they can make their plans fit, etc

That’s the thing with missing emails, you don’t know they’re missing.
I don’t think I’ve ever actually received an AP email for anything...

Have you contacted Disney about it? I am just wondering what Disney can do to fix it. I am not familiar with mass email servers.

That is a good point. I believe in the past they have given at least a little more notice.

Well I have only been an AP for 2 years and to my knowledge I have gotten every "important" email. I do read the Disney news every day so I think I would notice what I have missed.

Repeatedly. They keep saying to go in and check the communications preferences, which we have and we’ve set them (repeatedly) to receive all possible emails from all the Disney companies. Nada. If it wasn’t for the DIS I’d be completely out of the loop.

When I spoke to Disney IT last year, because I had not received any AP special event emails, they told me they were escalating the problem. When that didn’t help, I called back and they asked my permission to take temporary control of my account. They did something that allowed me to receive messages...for a short while. That was the last AP email I received.

A quick Google search will turn up quite a few articles about it. It happened in Texas.

Ok interesting.

Do I need the skyway shirt? Am I going to get it anyway? Hell yeah!

Disney apparently did a refresh the beginning of the year, which affected some guest accounts; that included deleting communication preferences.

For those who are not receiving AP email, take another look at your communication preferences.

End of discussion on AP communications and back to the news!

I remember that case, but as the story says, no mechanical failures were found. Likely an improper load.

This is why parks should teach their employees to pull up on bars (like Disney) not just to crush the guest by pushing them in. Pushing in does nothing to ensure the locks are holding, yet that seems to be the going SOP at nearly every park. I rode a coaster with a co-worker down in Houston about 20 times one night, she got bruises on her legs from the guy smashing the bar into her with all his weight and he never once pulled up on it.

These apparently were very short notice. Even the CMs did not know until a few days before they were publicly announced.

Throw me in the camp that's never gotten an AP e-mail. But this is also only my 2nd time having one.

I'm hoping the Steamboat Willie version eventually makes it's way here.
