I'm getting flashbacks to trying to get a boarding group for Rise of the Resistance

It's nice to know that Disney learns from all of their previous tech launch failures and ensured this one went smoothly. NOT!!! Probably the same genius in charge of the other ones is still in charge.

So maybe this is fiendishly clever of Disney. Trying to "thin out the crowd" a bit by launching late after 90% of people give up or have to focus on work instead of staring at a castle.

Or... not.

Me too and when I called last night they told me 6am PST, so I've been up since 2:57am

ugh! that's stinks. i had (like many of us) made my dining res for my oct trip and had gotten up in middle of night to do that too. my dh thinks i'm nuts

shoot, that was much easier than this lol

I signed in one one computer right at 7:00. My other computer is at the castle. There is no option for Park Pass on the computer that's signed in. I don't know if I'm in a good place or not..

I have the castle page in two windows. Both are continuously loading/"processing request". Maybe something will push through??

Down to under 2 minutes...

Finally down to 0:00... And nothing

At least I had a countdown clock to watch

 

[Van Houten]

Finally down to 0:00... And nothing

The timer will reset at some point... keeps jumping to random values, anywhere between 2:00 and 15:00. Refresh is every 30 seconds, so it may get an update at any of those refreshes to start counting down from another number of minutes.

Don't forget to let him know how "lucky" we are and how "magical" this is!

If you refresh on the signed-in one, most likely you will get the castle there too. I was logged in on two browsers and was booted to the castle.

Where are y’all getting the castle? I’m on MDE in my plans page. Should I be somewhere else???

 

[HokieRaven5]

Oh, you guys thought this would be up at 7am? Nah, we just wanted to see how long you were willing to wait in one of our lines again before you give up and move on to the next thing.

 

[quoo]

If you're logged in, I think you're doing better than most of us.

 

[JoJoGirl]

So, I have that UK link up as well as a few others trying to get in. My UK countdown does reset every once in a while, but I started with like 7 minutes and am now under 3. Anyone close to their countdown expiring?

Mine went to zero and is stuck there. Nothing.

 

[dachsie]

I just re-loaded the page and no castle, just the information on how to do it has stayed up this time

 

[danandjackie]

Think that means your past the castle - but theres nothing there - other than a bizarre request I had to pick fast passes for a booking in March 2021

 

[JCfan]

so basically the system is not up yet?

Nope! Looks like it might around 9am Eastern/6am Pacific. But, that's a guess (!!!) Given this mess, it could be earlier or later. For D23, we were rescheduled a couple of times even after trying to get onto the system.
