Walt Disney World opened up bookings for 2024 vacations this morning, only to quickly pause all sales via phone and Internet in what has become a familiar routine to many, likely due to high demand stressing their systems.

Shortly after bookings opened, guests started getting screens stating: “Pardon The Inconvenience Room, package and ticket bookings are currently paused online and over the phone. Bookings will resume as soon as possible.”

The My Disney Experience app also reminded guests that they could add Disney Dining Plan to their bookings starting today, if and when the systems come back up. We do not currently have an estimated down time for the Disney reservation systems.

Similar problems happened last week, as guests desperately swamped the reservation systems attempting to book voyages aboard the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser.
