What a surprise!
Even after delaying the sign-up of the Fantasyland preview, Disney still couldn't get it together and support the influx of traffic for AP preview sign-ups! :thedolls: :mad:
Can't even connect to the AP event site now . .

Event Registration
The Annual Pass New Fantasyland preview sign up system is experiencing technical difficulties. The sign up process will continue at 6:00 pm EST. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Can totally sympathize with your frustration. I've been trying to connect since 12 and got no where and now we have to wait until 6 ugh
It's been a hoot to follow on facebook. :thedolls: Disappointing on Disney's end to see that even with an extra week to prepare their servers couldn't handle the sign up traffic. On the other side, while I can understand people's frustration, I'm surprised at the hate being spewed (again, on facebook not here).
The actual preview itself is a pretty underwhelming thing when you see what it includes. For the number of 'I took the day off work to sign up' or 'Disney owes me for all the time I spent trying to sign up' type of posts I'm seeing on FB you'd think the preview included unlimited rides on the mine train coaster and gold plated chocolate sundaes at the end or something.
Thank you so much for the update. Like everyone else I've been trying since noon with no luck :confused: was wondering if the site died.
Wait! I just got in to register!:thumbsup:
That text I listed is a direct cut and paste from the event site. 6PM EST :confused:Quote:

I am especially glad I didn't waste any money on the "Exclusive" merchandise, which will be on clearance, I'm sure, by January...
I am not arguing this. You are right,this verbiage is clearly on the passholder preview webpage but I was able to login and register for 11/3 at 12:30 with a confirmation. I sure hope that doesn't get wiped out at 6pm :(Quote:

This is rediculous . . .
How can such a huge company that prides itself in "Delivering the magic" not know how to run a web server???? :thedolls:
Actually, they had this problem a couple of weeks ago when we CM's started registering for preview days.
Heard that the initial responses were overwhelming and much more than expected and it took a few days to sort it out. Heard some numbers for the first 2 days of signups and was shocked at the high amount.
Just finished registering....and I got through, registered and printed!!!!! :D So excited! Hope everybody got theirs too! :mickey:
I'm always on the lookout for a part-time job so I subscribe to various email sources. Got one this morning that listed 18 IT openings for Disney, maybe they're getting the hint :D
The Disney website has been awful since it started. I'm not an IT guy so I don't know how hard it would be to clean up the mess. But, Disney does need to do something.Quote:
