Can you routinely get to the tickets? Like closing everything on your phone can you open again using the app and it takes you to the date selection as if you were about to buy tickets?
That would make me think we were "up" on the back end (Disney side) to be let through the queue and to the purchase screen and that seems to be persistent on the Disney side once you reach the end of the queue (why you're able to go back and buy more than one day without waiting in a queue again).
I would be very interested on if someone that CAN get in and purchase tickets reliably cleared all cookies and history, logged out of their Disney account, maybe deleted the app and downloaded again could STILL get in. That would point to Disney greenlighting the account and not some token/cookie that was tossed onto the device...
In which case likely none of these are "glitches" and instead are just the person hit the point in the queue where they were let in by the time they started messing with tricks to see if it would work.
If that's the case, maybe the queue still is running in the background, even though it says paused, and I'm just at the very back, randomly of course, but reliably always at the back, like I mentioned I would be when I posted the other day
