Do they offer any kind of compensation if you go to customer service?

What are you getting compansated for? If you had a lighting lane they just give you a pass to ride any other ride usually there's someone at the ride would just scan's a new pass on to your phone.

if you are not staying the whole day and you miss a bunch of rides because they are not working is that not worth something?

Tiana and Haunted Mansion were down back in October during our last trip. When so many of the rides are down, it makes the lines in the working rides even longer-- EVEN if you have the "fast pass". Good luck out there and enjoy your trip yall!

I was there two weeks ago and Tiana was down most of the day. They gave me a Lightening Pass, but I didn’t use because I left the park.

We already had the pass but I didn't think about asking for some sort of comp- I will keep that in mind! Thank you for sharing!

This is why I like splurging on Park Hoppers - I consider it a hedge against a really bad day in the planned park for that day.

What makes Tiana’s go down so much as I see it go down often. Really looking forward to riding it on my trip. But expecting it to be the worst case scenario.

OH YEAH! Park hopper is a MUST HAVE IMO! I know it's steep but if one is ever on the fence, get it.

No, your time contraints are not Disney's problem.

Rides have been down since the beginning. I still have a stack of polaroids showing us being stuck on various rides. We only hear more about it now due to the instant social media.

Yup, ride breakdowns occur in any park, not just Disney. This is why you have to flex additional attractions just in case you end up one of those poor, unfortunate souls being given a little behind the scenes evacuation.

I got to walk thru MIB at unversal with all the lights on after it broke down, I'm not going to lie it was pretty cool. We got a free express pass ticket since we already had express we gave it to another family. From the time it broke down to the time we got off it was close to 35 minutes and maybe I'm in the minority but never once did it cross my mind that I was entitiled to or deserve anything because the ride broke down.

Tiana is finicky, but I was walked off its prior incarnation at least twice---and I'm a once-a-year visitor, not someone there very month.

My son, who was four at the time, and I were walked off when it was Splash during a Halloween party a few years ago. It's easily one of his most vivid Disney memories. He still talks about "going backstage."

Not sure if this was fixed but I remember the biggest issue being how if the logs would pile up (which happens all the time on both versions of the ride), it messes with the sensors of the animatronics. It's also just an old ride system prone to breakdowns similar to Frozen Ever After.

 

[Smugpugmug]

Also maybe this is just me but I imagined this thread being about the removal of Rivers of America based only on the title but was a little disappointed that it was about ride breakdowns lol

 

[Disnsyncey]

I saw "MK is DEAD" and I was like "what? no one is there? that's AMAZING!" but alas it was about how "NOT DEAD" the other lines in the park are due to the breakdowns haha
