Disney fans faced an unexpected and frustrating start to their Monday as the website and apps for both Disney World and Disneyland experienced significant technical issues, effectively putting a halt to a variety of essential guest services.
From the early hours of the morning, guests were unable to process payments through Disney’s systems, impacting the ability to purchase Lightning Lane passes, make dining reservations, and other transactions requiring payment information. PayPal remained the only available method for select actions, with credit card transactions entirely frozen. As a result, those wishing to plan their magical day experienced delays and disruptions.
By 11 AM, the technical problems had escalated, impacting in-park services as well. Mobile Order functionalities on the app were completely disabled, leaving guests unable to order food or view menus through the platform. This outage extended to Disney Store transactions, restricting purchases to PayPal users only. For many, the inability to perform everyday conveniences heightened the complications.
Thankfully, by 12:15 PM ET, signs of recovery were on the horizon. Disney’s systems began to return to normal, albeit with potential lingering glitches. The AllEars team confirmed operational milestones, including successful dining reservations and purchases.
While technical hiccups can be frustrating, they also remind us of Disney’s efforts to provide seamless and efficient services. The company worked diligently to resolve the issue, ensuring that the magic quickly resumed for visitors both in the parks and at home.
