Disney4me Posted November 5 Report Share Posted November 5 It’s a fairly common problem for rides and other attractions at Disney World to experience technical difficulties that temporarily shut them down. Spaceship Earth However, it’s pretty uncommon for an entire park to not open due to technical difficulties, but that appears to be happening today, November 5th, over at EPCOT. We were headed to EPCOT right away in the morning recently when we stumbled upon a VERY long line of people waiting to get into the park. Eventually, opening time came and went, and we were still waiting without moving forward. Entrance to EPCOT Eventually, Cast Members shared a message saying that they were experiencing a delay due to technical challenges, and they did not know why. They urged guests to be patient as they worked to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. Everyone waiting patiently to get in However, while standing in line waiting, we noticed that some rides on the Disney World app already showed wait times. Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure had a wait time of 65 minutes, which likely indicated that the entrance at the back of the park, at International Gateway, was working and letting people in. It is likely that the tap stalls at the front of the park were having technical issues. The park was not opened 10 minutes after the official opening time Around 9:20AM, it appeared that people were finally being let in very slowly. That was at least a 20-minute delay for the park to open. You never know what might happen when technology is involved, but staying patient and understanding as Cast Members work to solve the problem is the best thing to do at the moment. If you have dining reservations in a situation like this, generally, the Cast Members will be understanding and work with you. For more Disney news, keep following DFB!
