Why do they continue this charade?

Anyone remember the days when every date that wasn't blocked out for your pass was a good-to-go day?

I suspect it will be lifted shortly. Ticket sales (including AP’s) being way down is hurting them.

They woujd be a public admission that they screwed up by “weeding out” the low revenue passholders
Tsk tsk
They still defend Rian Johnson…there’s not a hill too stupid to die on for management these days

It’s going to turn out that keeping AP’s off sale for so long past the Covid capacity restrictions in a cynical attempt to force their best customers to purchase more expensive day tickets hurt them in the long term. Who could have seen that coming!?!?!

How many passholders make reservations frequently anymore? The good-to-go days just have zero value now. You can always get a reservation and many people are entering after 2pm anyhow. Not that I want them to make reservations difficult to attain, but I only find myself booking reservations maybe 5 times a year, outside of the few that I make day-of to ride a VQ.
I feel like the reservation system at WDW will eventually die off just because it’s lost its purpose. It’s not even great at predicting crowds anymore for them!

We find ourselves going less now because of the dumb reservation thing, they made it clear they dont want you there, shouldn't have to go through so many hoops and clicks to get a reservation...shouldn't have to wait till 2 either to get in elsewhere...this is their way of weeding out and hoping to weed out locals. They are micromanaging crowds so they dont have to pay cast to work, its ridiculous. But they better be careful, they have needed locals in the past and anything could happen again where they are going to wish they had them, their festivals are not even doing as well anymore like they use to. This sentiment that passholders don't spend money is absurd. They only want the ones who will buy LL and all that stuff. Another reason, they know passholders care, they want one time guests who don't care about changes such as themes and original attractions etc. They want to be able to plop anything down anywhere they want even it means downgraded mediocrity (Epcot hub) or ripping out half a park ( ROA ) , or checking off their boxes for value engineering even if it means poor story or lack there of and poor show quality ( tiana's ). Until certain individuals are gone who have been in place way too long nothing is going to change. Of course any one new could be just as bad or worse too.

Me. I am an out of state Incredipass holder who stays onsite multiple times a year. It annoys me to no end to make park reservations in advance for each day of a trip. I’m a rope dropper so waiting for 2 pm is not an option.
It’s especially frustrating when I am traveling with others with date-based tickets who are able to decide where to go on a whim.

They have made it very difficult to go with friends or visitors who have a different ticket type. Its all unnecessary.

The year is 2050. Disney requires you pass a multiple-choice skill testing question and do so many push ups in a row in order to be granted access to a Virtual Queue to request admission to one of their four parks. No exception for kids or APs.
This is after you pay a non-refundable deposit on your park ticket.
Park hopping is only for those staying Concierge at a Disney hotel, including the newly converted DVC rooms at All-Star
Admission is only valid for so many hours a day. All parks hard close between 3-4pm to kick everyone out for those with only evening access. Not just during Halloween Parties (which start in May).
8:00am-3:00pm access to MK starts at $500+tax. Disney fans online insist that if you don't like it, don't go.

probably not out of the question as scary as that reads. Ive been saying for awhile now the day is coming where you will not be allowed entry unless your a hotel guest, disneyplus subscriber, or dvc, etc. They aren't interested in catering to the general public any longer. They want their own brainwashed phone focused on property guests only.
