WDW Offering New Cobrowse Screen Feature on Website

Posted on January 30, 2020 by Mathew Corn Disney Parks

Let’s be honest: at times, navigating the Walt Disney World website can be pretty frustrating. Thankfully, there’s a new feature that should help guests easily find the information and make the bookings they need.

Guests now have the option of using CoBrowse, a screen sharing technology, that allows cast members to see what the guest is seeing on their web browser, and help them to navigate the website.

Guests must be speaking to a cast member on the phone or by chat in order to use CoBrowse, and using it is completely optional.

CoBrowse will only allow cast members to utilize the Walt Disney World website, as they are unable to access or view any files the guest may have on their device or what the guest is typing. Guests may also terminate the CoBrowse session at any time.

Should they accept, guests will be given a code to access CoBrowse, which will then pair the cast member’s computer to the guest’s device.

This tool should make it easier for guests to utilize the seemingly ever-changing website, and allow guests to find the answers to any questions they have quicker and clearer. (At least when the website’s working.)

Disney Is Surveying Guest About Boarding Group Solutions To Star Wars: Rise Of The Resistance

Posted on January 30, 2020 by Mathew Corn Disney Parks, Hollywood Studios

Walt Disney World has distributed a survey to guests who received boarding groups to the Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance attraction, according to Twitter user @DrewDisneyDude. The survey asks a variety of questions, but one is particularly worth noting: Disney asks guests their preferred way to wait for their turn on the ride.

The question asks, “which of the following would have been your preferred choice in order to ride Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance?” Guests can choose from these options:

The virtual queue system currently used
A combination of limited FastPass+ tickets and waiting in a standby line (similar to the current FastPass+ system)
Standby lines only

Another question addressed issues with the ride. Guests are asked about any challenges they experienced with “Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance.” These were the options:

There’s nothing worse than being asked your opinion without any followup from whomever asked, so we hope these surveys lead to improvements to the ride. While no system is perfect, there’s room for improvement when Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance boarding groups are gone within minutes and the attraction experiences consistent downtime.
