Travel agent calendars...

... just checking: these are still gone, correct? Just want to make sure I didn't miss them returning.

Even though hours change some as dates approach, these calendars were SO useful -- particularly as Disney ludicrously releases hours 180 days out, making capitalizing on the 180+10 ADR booking more challenging than it should be.

That's not quite true.

A guest with a pending WDW trip can see in advance of 180 days, just by clicking through the daily WDW calendar, day-by-day.

But, the REAL problem is that the info presented in advance, even at 10-45 days, is
often inaccurate.

Even if there was regular availability of the formerly-reliable TA calendars, their
info would be substantially flawed.

BTW, there are a few sources out there that offer WDW calendar data in advance of 180 days.
Should you "trust" them?
Well, about as much as assuming that ANY current advance calendar is accurate.

I'm within my window now (staying 8/18-8/29) and CANNOT see hours past 8/18 in any of the views (month, 5-day, daily).

I've ensured that I am logged in and this is what I see:




As I said in my original post, I know they change as we get closer. The TA calendar was always much better than nothing in our planning.

Yep you used to be able to see the 180+ but now you cannot since the MDE update rolled out. Very annoying!!!

With one of the multiple updates, guests can no longer see 180 plus days. They can see up to 180 days. Add it to the list of things Disney IT can't get correct.

Does anyone have access to the March / April 2020 travel agent calendar. I am organizing a large group of 15 and I need a little time to plan.

Thanks in advance

As far as I know TA calendars are no longer available.

Closing this thread since some of the information in the original posts above is outdated/incorrect.
