Tom Bricker responded to a commenter on his blog this week to the effect of “you’ll be happy with the upcoming changes” (paraphrasing)— have any of the experts on this board predicted what will be changing and/or when it’s likely to happen? I was hoping it would be before of Feb 2024 trip and now I’m just praying it’s before our holiday trip.

What had been suggested towards the end of last year included:
- Some preselects (hence the 8 day cancellation change)
- Tiers in all parks

Earlier this year it was said the changes had been postponed to allow the DAS changes to happen first.

Of course that has left plenty of time for further changes in the mean time.

Edited to fill in details.

What does ‘tiers in all parks’ mean? Is that like the old system where you couldn’t preselect only the top rides?

Correct, basically I'm assuming they will give 2-3 preselects and only 1 of those can be in the top "tier". Part of the issue is that with ILL, now each Tier 1 attraction is not actually the top of each park anymore.

Just a guess (no inside information)

Park	ILL(s)	Tier 1s	Best of the Rest
MK	Tron/7D	Tiana, Pan, JC, maybe Space	Thunder, Pirates, HM
EPCOT	Guardians	Remy, Frozen, maybe TT	SSE, Soarin, MS
DHS	RotR	Slinky, MMRR, maybe ToT or MFSR	RnRC, TSMM, Alien
AK	FOP	Navi, Everest, maybe Safari	Dinosaur, Kali, FotLK

Correct.
