If by “can now book”, you mean spend 90 minutes with disconnects and busy signals before connecting and waiting 3 hours and 45 minutes to reach an agent, then yes… we can book.

Thankfully, I chose to use a travel agent for this and she was able to book for us! Kids are super excited. Too bad it's over a year away!

Last Unsanctioned Update





They’ve been doing some light rehab work on Tom Sawyer Island replacing some boards and posts.

That’s all from me. I’ll be back in 109 days.

Hopefully I’ll be able to hug Mickey Mouse in September!

While I am definitely hopeful for the return of FastPass+, I'm pretty interested in seeing what a trip without it is like. I've never done one before.

Well, I'd say you have your motivation for tomorrow's mid-week dance!

Very exciting tease for those wanting it back!

I just had the make fastpasses option and the blue tab said now. I clicked and got the "we're working on it" page

I can't get back in on Safari. When I open my Disney Experience on Chrome, the fastpass option is not there.

I signed out and back in again and now the fastpass option is gone. There is hope though.

So now I have something to stalk over the next few days...

Like, I want it back to guarantee some rides...but I'm not looking forward to the stress of trying to get it for all of us arriving on 3 different days, I did that last trip and I didn't like it.

I was kind of relieved most of my planning was done. And I'm afraid they will have add on options for a price that I will convince myself we can't live without.

I'd honestly rather have normal restaurant capacity, menus and hours before getting fast pass back!

Was this in the app or on the website?

Ooh, I'm now seeing that same thing for my August trip! This is via Chrome, and it comes and goes.

I'm a rope dropper, so in general I probably prefer no FP. But if they are bringing back FP+ in a similar fashion to how it was, I'd hope do not they launch until after a proper selection window for the initial guests. ie Don't launch it ASAP with a 60 day window as that could really create a mess with the mad rush of guests flooding the system to book.

That glitch has been happening for a while already so I wouldn't read too much into it (though I hope FP does return soon).
