There already is “park hopping”...you just have to accept what that means now.
This is all about labor...they can control where you go and how to maximize staffing.
They just released the 2022 packages. I get the feeling this is more of an ancillary effect of new booking availability coming online rather than any actual plan to extend the reservation system another 22+ months.Yep. Extended into 2023

Sort of like how park hours 9 months out are worthless indicators of what actual park hours will be.

I don’t expect this to change either. Covid has given them a level of cost control that it would have taken a decade to “ease” in place. Slappy must be on cloud nine.
Cost controls work if people show up. Central Florida mega theme parks are going to be very cut throat over the next couple of years. If Disney thinks it can get away with anything it wants because it's "Disney", they are going to be in for a fun filled surprise.

...it appears there isn’t a whole lotta demand. This is a “holiday” week and a break schedule for some highly populated areas.
This shouldn't be a surprise, prior to COVID it was quite clear they were going to move to a reservation system, especially at Disneyland with the flex pass, but that was clearly a test bed, given all the benefits it provides, it isn't surprising either. It should come as not surprise that reservations are here to stay unless guests revolt against the system, but it benefits guests as well by being able to better gauge how crowded the parks may be on any given day. It's it a pain for some and might dinner tweaks be needed? Sure, but all in all it isn't a bad idea.Yep. Extended into 2023

If you think reservations aren't here to stay, look at the surveys for me membership offerings at DLR, many potential options are very similar with differences focusing around how reservations are handled with more flexibility at a higher price point, but even then reservations are required, so I think it is clear we will never get rid of reservations.

Hmmm...that would depend on what their goals actually are?
In my day...it was to fill the parks, hotels, restaurants, and shops...make people have a good time and get them back...
...I know...that’s so shocking now it’s practically crazy
