Going to wdw this Sunday until Thursday. Planned to do magic kingdom Tuesday. I just saw that Sunday night has magic hours and we arrive at mco at 115... Think we will head over. Can I add tickets over the phone so we can fpp a few things?

I don't think I can wait until Tuesday to see the castle!

Are you asking if you can buy them over the phone or have them linked over the phone?

What do you suppose the chances are that the "oops" that allowed people to make more more April TTFDP reservations than there were spots available happened in May too and they are just waiting to do cancellations closer to the affected dates?

1:25pm on 4/22/14 by maccys_mousehouse

DH and I were saying they'd probably let as many people cancel of their own volition first before they started offering compensation if May and beyond were affected by the reservation glitch.

1:26pm on 4/22/14 by maccys_mousehouse

Any afternoon Liners care to caution a guess? Do we think the snafu was limited to April?

4:02pm on 4/22/14 by maccys_mousehouse

Achoo!

7:10pm on 4/22/14 by maccys_mousehouse

No help but bless you. ;)

7:11pm on 4/22/14 by heather3haboob

Bless you

7:12pm on 4/22/14 by Conefrog

Thanks :)

I thought we determined that issue was brought on by a company buying out the TDDP in its entirety after ADRs were made.

2 min ago by pirategirl007

only 10 days! i believe I saw a list of attractions that have FPP in each park. i think its time I come up with a plan for which to try for. can't do until I purchase the tickets upon arrival due to FL res. discount:( Could someone bump the list please?

thank you. i see 7DMT is on the list. have people who are able to choose ahead of time being permitted to do this now?

Not that I've seen. Might just be updating the page getting ready for the opening and FPP to open up.

Last night at an EPCOT Flower and Garden food stand DS ordered a Dole Whip when she handed it to him it was huge compared to the man in front of him. The CM looked at him and winked and said " your my first customer tonight that said please" Do you find

6:47am by Plutosmypal

^tourist to treat CM rudely often? Made me think it must be a tough job sometimes.

6:49am by Plutosmypal

Yes. Enough to make it noticeable anyway. Many don't tip at restaurants, demand things from CMs, yell, etc. It's sad. Especially since a lot of their frustration is due to their own lack of planning. But they need someone else to blame.

6:51am by NotThatKevinSmith

Customer service is a very hard job. I can't imagine doing it at disney, trying to be happy and helpful all the time.

57 min ago by just1more

I found A LOT of CMs this last trip to be quite rude and unhelpful. I really felt there has been a real decline in cust svc at WDW.

56 min ago by SnookHook

Good for your son. Treating people with respect and kindness and offering grace when they're having a bad day is always a good policy.

54 min ago by Grumpy_in_Tejas

DD & DS said please and thank you to a Pin Trading CM. She was so impressed with their manners that she gave them both a long reel of stickers to take back to school and give one to each classmate and to make sure to tell others why they got them.

51 min ago by Button

@Pluto. Well done to your DS. I'm a great believer that manners don't cost anything but can get you a long way in life....or at least an extra large dole whip! :0)

49 min ago by Button

Great lesson! Thank you

48 min ago by stonecold

Manners are the best!!

44 min ago by whenuwish

We are going to make it a real point in our family to lay on some extra kindness to the CMs during our trip. My sons are on board! My DS6 said "we can count how many we make smile" :))!!

43 min ago by Plutosmypal

I agree that people in WDW expect a lot of magic but are often rude and cranky! At the same time I have found some fellow tourists to be very kind. Last night a lady let my daughter jump ahead of her in line cuz she really had to use the toilet.

38 min ago by erin_liz

I notice the unique style if Disney CMs and show my appreciation for it. But, they are engrained into the "show" for others who seem to fail to see them as individual human beings still

36 min ago by MagicMN

My daughter was 4 last year when we were at the world. At the fantastic show she asked a lady for cotton candy and said "may I please have" and the lady would not let me pay it for her. Said it was rare for them to hear such good manners

34 min ago by emilyh326

Well said @Magic.

32 min ago by Plutosmypal

Saving to remember to have this discussion before we leave. My kids have pretty good manners, but a reminder to go above and beyond to be gracious to those in the service industry is important.

29 min ago by mariaz3

Having worked with a lot of CM's I've heard some pretty awful stories.

19 min ago by outer1

We've had this discussion so many times with our DD11. Hoping it sticks.

16 min ago by Grumpy_in_Tejas

Hooray for all of the polite kiddos mentioned in this thread! What an inspiration to all parents trying to raise their children with good manners! Kindness and politeness really can brighten someone's day...even at the most magical place on earth!:o)

8 min ago by kingdomminded

From working retail thru college I've developed an appreciation for what they deal w/ which is why DBF and I always go out of our way 2 b nice 2 them. That is great that your DS has such good manners. I wish that was still the norm and not a rare event

8 min ago by Britta4986

It's unbelievable how many people who spend money Anywhere, have a "You Owe Me" attitude. Thankfulness seems like a lost grace. Cudos to your DS!

8 min ago by MOJoe

That's esp true at Disney @MOJoe... "We paid a lot for this so you'd better bow down and kiss our feet".

6 min ago by outer1

Awesome for your DS. DH and I have been ensuring our DS4 remembers his manners. He's pretty good at remembering most times w/out prompting. I think a little more please and thank you really brightens a persons day whether it's a CM, waitress, or whoever.

In charge of planning June trip for extended family...;) they have sent me their old tickets to link to MDE...if I create their account and link tickets, how do they get access to their MDE to see what I've done???

9:10pm on 4/22/14 by schardingl

Use their email address Please... it took 7 hours on the phone in October trying to get accounts straightened out. Just create a password for them and then make sure to let them know it before their trip

9:22pm on 4/22/14 by Chicasarita

So I should create each of their families MDE accounts?? And link tickets that way?

9:41pm on 4/22/14 by schardingl

I'm interested in this too. I am also in charge of an extended family vacation... Need to book 3 rooms, everyone's park tickets, ADRs, and FPP, oh my!

9:48pm on 4/22/14 by TinyTina

Depends on how interested they are in planning and changing things as you go along. Simplistic way is to create 1 account and add them as family and link the tickets. Only 1 person has control of fpp and adrs

9:55pm on 4/22/14 by Chicasarita

Or you could use main account to add family members and then send each person requests to actually set up their own account. Then each person could see fpp and adrs from their smartphone

9:57pm on 4/22/14 by Chicasarita

I will be following this thread. Please someone, make it easy!

10:00pm on 4/22/14 by eightisgreatatdisney

I sent requests to manage... Will start there

How do you all keep track of your FPP times? Do you just rely on your MDE phone app or do you somehow print out a hard copy from MDE? Or just make an old fashioned paper and pen list with dates and times to report here or there?

10:24pm on 4/22/14 by cruisers4

I made a list on the notepad at the resort the night before of the next day's FPP and ADRs and just kept it in my pocket. It worked great for us. :)

10:26pm on 4/22/14 by emmyannttu

I used some advice I read on here and took a screenshot of each days reservations and then made it my lock screen photo on my phone so I could refer to it quickly. It worked great!

10:28pm on 4/22/14 by Jagz

I have it on my app but because of battery life I also use a pen and paper. I make a small cheat sheet, like certain kids did in school, with all my FPP and ADRs. And just for clarification I was NOT one of those kids....just incase my mom is reading this

10:29pm on 4/22/14 by trish.glenn

I made a print-out from the DME page. I also habe a spread sheet that I made.

10:40pm on 4/22/14 by bswan26

DS emailed a flash card thing he is laminating for us with park hours, ADR's and FPP reservations. I'm not a fan of heavy phone use on vacation usually but we shall see. My plans on iPhone MDE app look pretty snazzy with all my notes :)

10:43pm on 4/22/14 by sOUnerOkieDisneyFan

We have been going straight to the concierge desk at check in and requesting it be printed off. The hard copy they give you is in a really nice calendar format in colors and has all your ADRs and FPP plus any other reservations you've linked.

10:48pm on 4/22/14 by NCDisneyPrincess

That's a great tip @NC!!

10:51pm on 4/22/14 by trish.glenn

MDE app all the way. Required every adult to download the app too so I wasn't the only one with the info and they could check themselves!

10:51pm on 4/22/14 by BearsMom2011

Awesome tip @nc! Thanks!

10:52pm on 4/22/14 by Savage1117

10:53pm on 4/22/14 by NCDisneyPrincess
