Affirmation

The Internet makes me feel good about my extravagant purchases sometimes.
Although park attendance and hotel occupancy rates are both reportedly lower than projected, the demand for tickets to next September’s Haunted Mansion Holiday event was so strong that tickets for all four package levels sold out in just minutes after registration opened last week. Tickets for the top two packages went on sale Tuesday, and both packages sold out in less than 15 minutes. Tickets for the remaining two packages went on sale Wednesday morning, and hopeful attendees quickly overwhelmed Disney’s notoriously fragile event registration system, causing the system to crash less than 20 minutes after registration opened.
Unfortunately, the combination of strong demand, malfunctioning computers, and Disney’s unpopular new “one registration per transaction” policy left many couples with just one ticket.
