I think the thing I hate most about the reservation system is having to scan into that first park before going to another one after 2. It’s hard for me to predict what park I’m going to want to go to on any day months in advance, so I just pick one. Well depending on how I feel on the day, maybe I want to go to Seaworld in the morning, but I picked AK as my park for the day, but it’s 3:00 and I don’t feel like going to AK anymore, I want to go to HS instead, but there are no park passes for HS to switch to, so I can’t change my reservation, but HS is available for park hopping, so I have to drive all the way to AK, park, scan in, then leave and go over to HS, which is where I want to go. Yes, it’s a run-on sentence to depict the frustration and rigamarole you have to go through to just do what you want on your vacation. And yes, sometimes I just don’t go to the park and go to their competitors instead. I am out of state and have passes to SW/BG and Universal.
These systems are not for guest convenience in ANY way.
