I've never had any trouble getting in (including just a minute ago) but I've never found much of value once I got there either except to watch my days count down.
A "bad first attempt" message means it didn't like your login name or password. Have you logged in to any other Disney-owned websites lately (ABC, ESPN, the main Disney site, etc)? Doing so can mess up your account. You may need to call Member Services to get your account reset. Many of us have had this problem.
