The July 17-20th shutdown is over. Everything is Great Now!

[RapunzelRN]

I just want the website to stop crashing. I hate that I have to clear my cookies all the time and go into incognito mode all the time just to get the website to kind of work. I really just do not understand how Disney can be so bad at website making....

SAME! I really until now thought it was something with my account, makes me feel a little better that it's not just me.

I think they should make the error page a picture of the poor unfortunate souls from the little mermaid, they aren’t cute and it’s exactly how you feel every time you get it

That's funny...and they could also add Ursula's evil laugh as a sound effect.

Yes indeed, everyone would love that...

I just called Member Services and had a (surprisingly) good experience. The wait was 20 minutes, but the person was WONDERFUL. I decided to renew our DVC Gold APs just in case the shut down does include changes to APs or price increases (which will definitely come when it opens up to everyone!). Our APs didn't expire until February, but they let you do it at any point now due to making park reservations.

I bet there isn’t going to be any cast training and that they will get to have an extra 2 days off.

They won’t be paid, of course, because that’s how Disney operates.

It's the home stretch for wish lists folks!!!Woohoo!!! Yeah!!!

Drink up that coffee and lets get the blood pumping!!!


Last day to get those wish lists in, after today there's nothing left to do but wait for our DVC gift shower on the 20th!!!

I think this shutdown is because DVC is taking all our member services CM on a 3 night cruise this weekend.

Oh man, I'm so excited. Only 1 more day! I'm picturing the meme of the burning room - "this is fine."

I'm sure my Kidani reservation that begins in 9 days will be just fine. This is Disney IT. What could go wrong?

I'm going to go hide under the bed now.

Welcome home!

Good Morning DVC Members!

Preparations for the IT and office shutdown today are in progress, improved experiences are coming our way soon!

So weird! I couldn't access the website last night right before midnight EST, but this morning I've been able to go on and do several things including cancelling a reservation.

 

[wnielsen1]

Looks like the site is up until 10 PM EDT tonight.

 

[DisneyStarWisher]

So strange! Now it's not working for me at all. I'm done trying until I have to book a reservation on the 20th.

i would take a screenshot of your dashboard just in case

 

[huskerfanatic7]

my wish for the upgrade is for a pending notification if a waitlist has been matched but not executed by a CM. Also away to see how many studios are available on the RAT

 

[Grumpy by Birth]

Is my bar too low that I’m hoping that it just comes back online and all of my reservations are actually still there (as booked)?

and that all of our points are still there...
and that our contracts still exist...

I keep thinking Jurassic Park when Samuel L Jackson turns off the computer and says “hold on to your butts”….

How about the ability to merge our single reservations into one Reservation. Or a section in the reservation where we can actually type in our room requests. Both functions now require calling in.

If all if our contracts and points were gone, then Disney would have lots of resorts for us to buy back into. We could probably save lots of money on new incentives they'd offer.

Glass half full...?
