Dear AP holder,
We love you, but not when you spend less than the family from Denver making their once in a lifetime trip. Enjoy these $.005 magnets made in a windowless factory by workers being paid $10 a week.

But they are still selling day tickets.

Of course they are, because it isn’t about capacity, it’s about ensuring a favorable guest mix.

Disney:
We hate AP holders and DVC members....


...until we really need them

Well, if it makes any APer feel less bad about this, the cost of a single day-ticket for Easter is $185.

BUT, APs may go directly to MK after 2pm (except MK on weekends where you have to check into another park first). In addition, APs now have the flexibility of checking into another park first thing in the morning and hopping directly over to MK.

Except not on Saturdays or Sundays at Magic Kingdom. Your other point about park hopping is true!

Right. I forgot the part about weekends. (I have the Pixie Dust pass so I easily forget that part. )

Does Easter fall on a Sunday this year?

Does Easter fall on a Sunday this year?

Only in years evenly divisible by 589.

So let me get this straight:

• APs need reservations
• Single day tickets need reservations
• Multi-day tickets don't need reservations

But Disney has "gone away from the reservations system except for APs and other special tickets"? A single-day ticket doesn't strike me as a "special ticket".

Too bad magicbands don’t include a wrist calculator for that math lol

See. Bob is fixing everything!

AP’s pay more for more confusion and restriction

They are the magic

i think Single day just needs to buy a date specific ticket -- so not really considered a reservation, but still under a means to get a specific head count for a specific date/guest type.

This. There is no reservation though it being a single park ticket works out to one anyway.
