Without the ability to use their online systems, guests risk losing their window to book FastPasses and dining, which can make or break some vacations.

Guests on Twitter have also said that FastPass kiosks at Walt Disney World are also non-operational, which makes obtaining FastPasses, at this point, impossible.

After checking for ourselves, we saw that the Disneyland app was also operational, and got confirmation from cast members that The HUB was also working. It should be only a matter of time before we get confirmation that all systems are back online for the Disney Parks.
