🎬 Maintenance Update – Cue the Good News!

We recently learned that some passholders were being blocked from using their passes to reserve tickets for our Lights, Camera, Community event — definitely not the kind of plot twist anyone asked for!

As soon as we got the heads-up, our team jumped into action. We’re happy to report the issue has been resolved.

If you’re a passholder, you should now be able to use your pass to reserve tickets for this event and all others without a hitch.

Thanks for your patience while we made sure everything had a happy ending 🍿✨
