Official 2021 "Disney After Hours Boo Bash" Thread

I’m on hold once again *sigh*

Truly, I'd give my favorite mouse ears to be on hold...

 

[pingviini]

When I was dialing repeatedly from 7-8am, it would occasionally take 5+ seconds to hear anything on the line--typically a busy signal or a variety of voices telling me a variety of messages, including the gruff man mentionned earlier, which also gave me a bit of a start! I was not even paying attention the one call when it finally went through at 8:01am, but thankfully realized I was on hold before automatically ending the call. Three hours later I had my 2 tickets for 9/24. I called the number ending in 5277 ultimately, but went back and forth between this one and the one in the email for that hour.

I have been calling since 7 and every time it would either be silent for 10ish seconds and then say Call Failed, or it would be a woman saying “all circuits are busy”, or just a busy signal. When I just got through, it didn’t ring but after a few seconds it said “thanks for calling Walt Disney World Resort!” Hope that helps!!

I understand your concerns. I have enough hearing to make out when they answer and I usually ask them to hold a moment and grab family or coworker if I am going to struggle with understanding them. In past experience they pick right up, but there are pauses of silence when it's on hold.

Thank you so much! Hopefully, I just missed out on being told that the call failed. It's one thing to miss out when you have the same chance as others but a whole other feeling when it's because of inaccessibility. I'm going to keep trying and hope for the best (and remind myself that I ensured my entire trip is refundable in case I couldn't get a ticket--I booked the trip specifically for an early Halloween treat).

I dunno but at this rate it may be the 15th before I can even get the call to go through so it might be a moot point anyway. If anyone gets through can you ask if any other dates have sold out or just 10/31. I am aiming for late August.
But woohoo! 1000 tries on the 4240 number without making it on hold yet.

Just wanted to reiterate that I rented points, called tsk regular number (4240) and after about 90 minutes of hold got through and was initially told no, but then after I pushed and she spoke with a supervisor, was told yes.

4 hours and 37 minutes on hold and they hung up on me. *facepalm*

Unfortunately for them, I was chosen for a survey.

After 5 hours and over 1,100 calls, I finally got "Thank you for calling the Walt Disney World Reso--" [call dropped by Disney]

 

[Farro]

There are some truly terrifying moments on hold when the music fades, no one is speaking and I think i was disconnected...then the music comes back on.

 

[vpusey]

Yes after 10 minutes..used laptop to link.

I linked them but I don’t see them in MDE ?

 

[GoofyPrincess]

Can anyone tell me if the 4240 number is just for DVC or can resort guests use that as well?

 

[maa]

Tried Chat to see if there were any other numbers besides the 4240. Not the right time for fun facts!

Keep trying, I think people are getting through faster now. At least through to hold.

 

[disneychick0412]

On hold with DVC Member services after hours of a busy signal on that line and “all circuits are busy” on all the others. 28 minutes so far. It said a 30 minute wait but I’m not holding my breath on that.

 

[RamblingRabbit]

Honestly, the only redeeming part of being on hold... The song from the Canada Show has been removed from the loop. It was so choppy.

 

[Hazy27]

What about those of us that aren't DVC card holders OR renters and just have resort reservations, should we just stick to the main 407-939-5277 number?

I can only go by what is showing on their site for the event - I would assume the answer to this is, yes.

I honestly think your calls were failing as well since that is at least a 10 second pause...when they answer it is within a few seconds so don’t lose hope yet!!

Called at 7. I was placed on hold and waited 2 hours and 38 minutes. Got tickets for 10/31. I had multiple numbers to call. I called one and my wife called one.

Dear Bernadine: read the room.

I was told 41 - and I gotta say - pretty accurate. It was about 40-45 mins on hold.
