It is no secret that both Walt Disney World and Disneyland are incredibly busy at the moment. Disney World is currently packed with many Guests on spring break, and with Festival of Fantasy and Mickey’s Magical Friendship Faire joining the ranks of the entertainment at Magic Kingdom, there has never been a better time to go.

Disneyland is also ramping up its demand as World of Color, Disneyland Forever, and the Main Street Electrical parade are set to return in just a few short weeks. From coast to coast, we have seen Disney Park Passes fly off the shelves for Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios, as well as Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure. Now, it seems that the phone lines are just as busy as the Parks!
Today, when calling the Disneyland line to discuss a missing refund regarding tickets, we were told that the call volume was so high at that moment, that Guests could try to call back later, or could message Disney on the Disneyland app to try and speak to a Cast Member there. Typically, Guests are able to wait for a Cast Member to become available depending on where they stand in line on the phone queue, and those waits have been reported to take multiple hours for some. Now, it seems that that number has maxed out enough that Disney is rejecting their ticket calls for Disneyland altogether.

We did send a message on the app to chat with a Cast Member, and within 20 minutes did get a reply, so Guests should definitely take advantage of the chat feature on the Disneyland app if they are ever needing assistance from Disney. This is not the first time this week we have experienced this same automated message, which just shows the incredible demand that is currently ongoing in regards to Disneyland vacation planning.
