Standby Skipper & Wait Magic still working?

[jldeahl]

I've been planning to use Wait Magic and Standby Skipper to refine our LL plan for our upcoming trip (from Christmas to New Years), but I've recently read some comments that these services are down, or far less functional, since a recent Disney software update. Can anyone confirm if these services are currently working or not? Thanks in advance!

I'm not familiar with Wait Magic, but I used SS the week of Thanksgiving and it worked. I didn't notice any difference vs how it worked in July.

I really hope Disney ends these for good at some point in the future.

Are we even allowed to discuss these services here?

The fact that SS has been a thing for as long as it has just boggles my mind.

No. Saw another post where it indicated that discussing it is against ToS because the service is against Disney rules. So this will prob get deleted.

I'm not sure how it is against the rules. You are not providing your login information you are instead allowing the service to be your "friend".
Friends are able to make ADR's and LL for others as outlined by Disney.

It's a third party charging money for a service at Disney parks and Disney isn't getting any of it. It's clearly stated in their ToS and they've dropped the hammer on other types of businesses when they've felt like it's gone too far.

Was a bigger deal when it was being used to snipe VQ spots for recently opened rides but can't imagine Disney is a fan of them.
