What is Wrong With Disney's Web Site??

Why can't they keep there hours posted? Studio hours still have not been reposted. They where there on Tuesday for December and now they still are gone. They have yet to post Magic hours. They need a new Web Host Master. Thanks for letting me vent a little.

The one thing I find about the website is that for a place so wonderfully magical it is certainly a "hum-drum" website----don't ask what I expect it should be because I really don't know .....just think it should be more exciting than it is!

I agree! I can never get the maps to display...and why is none of the information orgainzed by LAND in Magic Kingdom, only "attractions, entertainment, etc.." It would be nice to click "Frontierland" and see all the restaurants, attractions, shops, etc..
There is more detail in other Disney sites (non-Disney sponsored).

I can never get the US site to work well. The UK site has all the hours posted and the features on it seem to work well. Here is a link to the December hours on the UK site which includes MGM for those who need it.

The Disney World official website is one of the slowest websites I have ever been on in my life. In a speed sense and in an updating sense. That's pretty much why I never go on there anymore. Much more up to date information, much faster here and on other sites.

I know what you mean. Seem like they change it every year and it gets more user UNfriendly each time they change. I found it was much better the first time I used it back in 1998 to plan our first trip. Once I got used to it they changed it ,and it just keeps getting worse.

Thank You Danauk for the link. I feel better now that I am able to confirm what the hours are. Only 63 more days to go. Now if they would only post the Magic hours that would make it perfect.I did send an e-mail to Disney and complain about the web-site not working right. Lot of good that may do. Thanks Again For The Link.

The website is always on the fritz. I always consult a guide book, this site or other Disney fan sites for info. Disney's official site is always too unreliable. I couldn't even make my ticket reservations online!

I'd like to think that the wdw web site is where you can go for the "official" info - but unfortunately it is so limited. The boards have been talking for a month about HM being closed in Nov and last time I checked it wasn't on the official site even though several people have confirmed it. Hours and EHM are changed and the web site is the last to show it. This is unbelievable for a huge conglomerate like Disney - you would think they'd use the technology to their advantage.

Why don't you guys use the hours posted on this site? The link is at the top of this webpage. I have placed it here

>> Park Hours <<

also for convenience. I use these hours all the time and they are very accurate. They also have EMH for December. In April when the EMH days and hours were changing daily, the hours here were more accurate and stable than the hours on the official site. They are a great reference when in doubt. They are also arranged in a method where everything can be in one place for each day of your trip.

Good Luck with your planning!!!

From the point of view of ease of use and efficiency, Disney's web site gets big fat flunking grade. I can't believe in this day and age, a global corporation such as Disney can have such crippled web site. I have never seen a global consumer site in worse shape than Disney's.

Disney is a perfect example where flash doesn't mean usefulness.

Stop spending all that time working on the Virtual Magic Kingdom site. Work on the main site first!

I agree. The DisneyLand Website is better, but not much. The music is not so great, the pages take a long time to load and it is royal pain in the tushie to get to the page where you look at your confirmation. Uuuggghh!!!!
