With limited attraction availability, limited crowds, and no park hopping... I can see AK completely empty after noon or so.
Just like the early days, it will only have a half-day worth of experiences. With no hopping and no ‘second time slot’ for arrivals, once the rope drop crowds are done the park is going to have more cast in it then guests. It doesn’t make a lot of sense to me that they wouldn’t find a way to make that afternoon capacity available. Am I missing something?
Epcot and Studios could both have variations on that problem too... local AP holders won’t show up at rope drop to Epcot, but will breeze in for evening food and wine, leaving a empty morning.
It will be interesting to see what ‘adjustments’ happen to the system within the first few weeks. I doubt what we’re all being sold right now is the way it’s actually going to work for very long.
