Snake Tap button on friends towns gone???

This bug hit me today. I had over 5000 snakes and was ready to hit 5500 today. Now I'm dead in the water. After reading these posts and seeing how long people are waiting for a fix, I'm extremely worried that I'll never get the hotel.

My problem may have happened soon after I assigned Homer to the first quest at the baseball park. However, placing the park in storage didn't fix the issue.....
