BUT we havent been able to get through we must have had a dozen 45 min waits after which we have given up never known anything like it. Used chat but direct call only. Driving us mad!

Bummer Noodlez, have a shopping day!

Salmim- It’s ridiculous. Not surprised given how long it took him to sell me a ticket.

Ring dead on 2 is my suggestion, and I’ve found Sunday’s can be best. I gave up yesterday but was determined today so left it on speakphone whilst I got on with matters. It cut me off today as well first time 20 mins in.

So quick question about "this Blue Card" I'm guessing you are asking about DVC membership card... I have just the one DVC contract bought re-sale 2011 and do have the blue membership card... I know over the years they slowly took away perks for us re-sale owners lol... anywhere to look for dates and what was removed last 10 years... i think if my memory serves me just after we bought they stopped you booking a cruise with DCL using points (which is a bad use for your points anyway)..

Only ever spoke to a DVC salesman once at Downtown Disney who said we were classed as Orphans as no sales advisor was allocated to us lol

Shopping is my idea of a necessary evil! I'll buy some groceries and anything we desperately need, but that's about it when on holiday. A cocktail day, however ...

After 5 mins he comes back- you only have a small amount of direct points, most are resale, I was checking if you were eligible!

I said of course I am, I have a blue card.

You’d think they’d know their own rules.

Second class resale citizens
To be fair with only 25 points direct he had to check when you purchased them as the rules have changed a lot, I believe the minimum purchase is now 125 so you did well to buy them when you did.

As long as you bought before the 2011 restrictions then you will never have to worry about restrictions. They are always brought in for new purchases only. Existing purchases retain the rights at time of purchase.

We won’t have water parks either but that’s fine as we wouldn’t have time to go to one and prefer Volcano Bay which will be covered on our Universal stay.
Are the tickets you bought include water parks, only need need 4 days for the parks but could use the 2 free days for water parks.

Not sure to be honest I didn’t try to book a water park.

Still undecided on our tickets, having watched a couple of recent park vlogs, if I was going now I wouldn't buy, AK & HS look horrendous! Seriously considering buying a couple of single days to do MK & Ep but will see how things change over the summer. We have "frozen" UAP & you can get the SW/BG/AQ ticket for the price of a 1 day Disney ticket so there are options.
Just need to wait & see what's happening with this testing carry on!

Anyone managed to get around the default settings, without using a VPN ? I contacted WDTC Uk to ask why this was an issue & they helpfully suggested that I change to Europe when I then pointed out that tickets were more expensive in Euros than $ their only suggestion is to call but warned that it might be a US number! (not free)plus minimum ticket is 2 days & current plans may be individual days so that we are not restricted on "use by/valid from "
