News Disney Park Pass System announced for Walt Disney World theme park reservations

[Dranth]

They're selling "no blackout date" passes, and then artificially limiting the people they've sold these passes to. There's just no way Animal Kingdom is selling out to day ticket people today. They can add whatever they want in the 500 page 6 point font print they want, but at the end of the day, you can't do what they're doing, and they're going to get burned, again.

The whole reason the California lawsuit went anywhere was because they tried to limit availability on passes that were sold before the reservation system existed. There was no language in those contracts to justify what they were doing. That isn't the case with any passes purchased since.

I think you are right, someone will try if this goes on long enough but I would be surprised if it made it very far. With luck reservations will be gone for everyone soon enough and we never need to find out.

Here is the next set of Bonus Reservations for Annual Passholders in October.

October 20 - Disney's Animal Kingdom
October 22 - Disney's Hollywood Studios

This is a preview of next year. I also believe this may be the first time every single park has been available and selling day tickets for day guests, but closed to annual passholders. They are definitely going to get sued again. There’s just no way they are at “capacity” or anywhere close to it in, for example, Animal Kingdom on a random October Monday. They’re doing this to save on last minute staffing.

And what the‘re doing in paris

 

[Fido Chuckwagon]

I guess they decided to let the unfavorable back in today.

The fact that they are still continuing with this goat rope of park pass reservations and hopping restrictions through the end of the year is insane. I understand they have to unwind the tech behind it, but still - they should have at least removed the park hopping restriction immediately considering we've been paying full price for the hopper with only limited benefits.

Breaking news: Park hopping times become unrestricted in the new year. Oh, and the price will go up a bit for this added benefit.

Got to get that Guest spending up.

Got to get that Guest spending up.

If they remove the AP park reservation requirement they’ll probably use it to mask the next price increase.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

…it’s Almost like they need to sell more tickets or something?

 

[HauntedPirate]

Wow. More “bonus reservations” for AP’s. Almost like they need them to get more bodies through the gates or something.

Of course, once they bring their picnic baskets in with them, all those poor day-ticket guests will be squeezed out.

…that’ll sure ruin the magic for those one timers who just came into the Orlando jet port from Aspen and Vail

Funny thing is, there was a time not all that long ago prior to reservations when APs were among the last groups to be stopped at capacity levels right alongside on-site guests.

Why? Because it was an annual pass - not an at-Disney's-whim-when-they-decide-they-want-you-there-after-you've-already-bought-it ticket.

Not exactly related, but who is still on legacy passes that Disney maintains legacy pass calendars?

Some of the legacy passes could be activated until 2030.

Thanks for sharing. I had no idea!

Honest question: anybody still falling for this nonsense?
