My assumption is AP holders with resort reservations can use their APs for admission to one park per day, as per "guests with resort reservations who have already purchased admission tickets should be able to redeem their tickets for one day passes for a specific themepark for a specific date during their stay subject to capacity limitations." Is that how others are interpreting it, as well?
No it’s more simple than that. Just don’t go places where a mask is needed for kids. Obviously you missed the point.
That site has been around for just 2 years, does not identify who the owner or authors are, and only has 900 followers on FB - why should we give it any credibility?This is a rumor, I repeat a rumor. Seems they have a lot of details though. It’s a way to control things, I can see that but the amount of grief they will receive would be unreal.

Not saying we should. I’m guessing you missed the first line of my post. Rumors are discussed here by just a tweet or heard a bus driver say. 2 years is a lifetime in the rumor circuit. Besides, many of these ideas actually make sense whether some of us don’t like it.
My interpretation of that rumor is that the out of state AP holder wouldn’t be able to use their AP to get in but would be offered the option to buy discounted 1 day tickets. This is what they did at DL when SW:GE opened there (I think they were half off). They also allowed the AP holders to buy additional discounted tickets for friends and family (I think there was a limit on how many). For people who already booked a package with multi-day park tickets my guess is they will either credit you for the amount paid (not the best deal) or they could just convert your days into individual park tickets and you would have to select the park you want to use them for.
I do agree that they'll likely have daily reservations - just not paid ones.
I wouldn’t worry about any of this. Just a rumor from an unproven site. Beats talking about masks and how this is just the flu or how many people die in car accidents.
When the real plan comes out they will tell us what we need to do if anything.
There will definitely be reservations while capacity is limited. They don’t want a mess at the front gate if the limit is hit and more people are trying to get in. I don’t think if the AP rumor is true that it would last very long. They could do it for the opening until they ramp up to the level where they aren‘t selling out single day tickets. Shanghai is planning to add 5,000 people a week to their limit. It might only take a month or even less to get to the point where there’s more capacity than demand. If they add the month on to the end of APs the only people really out of luck would be out of state AP holders that happen to be at WDW during the blackout period.

It's certainly not ideal. If I don't make it before October,1 I'm not sure when I'll be able to use my tickets. I moved my European cruise to next Summer and I'm going to Japan in March. My vacation time is accounted for in 2021. I still have a couple of weeks I can use this year. I'll probably have to suck it up and make the best of it.
They also have to consider the resorts. You don’t want to have guests paying for a hotel room and flying or driving in and then shut out from the parks. It’s a tough juggling act. Let’s say for example WDW opens July 1, the number of hotel reservations in July is already probably pretty high. There’s no guarantee all those people show up or even are allowed to travel yet, but assuming the majority show up that’s probably going to cover most or all of the capacity for the parks. Quick and dirty math. 3 parks open with no EPCOT. They cap capacity at 15,000 people per park. There’s 30,000 hotel rooms so if they are at 50% occupancy and 3 guests per room on average that means 45,000 guests. If they all go to a theme park each day that uses up the full capacity. The cap could always be larger and occupancy lower, but it shows that with extremely limited capacity they will really need to focus mostly on resort guests. This is unique to WDW. Six Flags, DLR and Universal have nowhere near as many hotel rooms or in the case of Six Flags none at all.
