A better way to phrase it would be that it’s used to manage capacity

It’s literally just designed to limit capacity to a level that they can handle morning crowds and quick service order fulfillment; both due to staffing levels.

Quick service orders arent being handled well at all. I swear the crowds are currently at pre closure numbers now.
Disney is considering expanding Park Pass reservation system for park hopping at Walt Disney World
Disney is considering expanding Park Pass reservation system for park hopping at Walt Disney World
Changes may be coming to the park hopping process at Walt Disney World.www.wdwmagic.com
Reading this it says guests would be able to hop at anytime instead of 2 pm - with a reservation.
If they do this - would it be possible that you can't make your hopper reservation until day of? We wake up and want to get breakfast in France, but then hop over to MK. Once we tap in at Epcot, then you can go ahead and make reservation at MK and hop anytime you want instead of waiting until 2?
I could live with that because chances are the same as today that there would be availability for hopping. It is still an extra step though.
But I'm sure they will expecting us to reserve a second park weeks in advance...and then different benefits for different tiers or upsells confuses me. Not sure what different tiers there are for tickets for resort/non-ap guests.
The AP system is always a fall back should it be needed to get people into the parks and spending.
Currently, the other channels spend more and are of higher value.

While I do think the changes floating around promote fairness in the AP system, it seems they will use the reservation system more dynamically and use APs specifically to “top off” attendance when they’ve determined how many resort/ticket guests to expect.

This. If they didn’t have it people would be complaining that the parks are bursting at the seams and it taking hours to get a quick service meal

Sounds like the bigger news then is that new APs at WDW are pretty much history.

The resort a few miles down I-4 is already having a field day making sure visitors know how much easier and relaxed it is to book a vacation there instead of Disney. This would just be the tip of the iceberg.

We are already considering APs for them because we love halloween horror nights, we get the frequent fear passes and the parking alone will probably buy one annual pass

Are you saying they want to limit APs more then? If so they suck royally. I know money money but the amount they're asking for APs is already stupid high and honestly why we have a law suit to begin with.
Disney will shoot itself in the foot if they continue this reservation and hopping restrictions nonsense.

I just know the reservation system allows them to have their cake and eat it to. The new program will reflect that. How far they will take it, no clue.

And the vloggers and lifestylers that they’ve paid to put in the room will eat it up and act like it’s the greatest thing ever.

We were already on the line about renewing our APs next week but this may have just sealed the deal for a no. The value of the AP was already decreasing but when you add this ridiculous reservation system, now possibly requiring reservations to park hop, and the continued losses of regular AP perks, what's the point. Meanwhile, I just upgraded my SWO AP to include the other parks and got a ton of benefits with that transaction.

There have not been any CL10 days this year. That tells me they have capped capacity.
