With park reservations dropped for some, have they reimplement phased capacity closures? We'll be arriving July 4th, and would like to grab a TS dinner in Epcot. Tickets for us is part of a package.

There was a recent pause in park hopping to MK. Whether it was a glitch in the app or not was debated but certainly there were notifications that hopping to Mk was paused. It didn’t last very long.

I think the only other time was the day of the 50th, again at MK.

It was intentional. They also stopped selling day-tickets to MK on that day.

Lol. I can't imagine these "good to go" days on days when any passholder can easily get a day of reservation at any park have any impact on guest behavior whatsoever. They are really stupid, and it’s a bad look for Disney because it makes it look like they think that their passholders are really stupid.

Thanks Disney! Disney Incredi-Pass $1,449 +tax and I have to have a reservation to come even if I book a stay on property.
I am taking my nephews to Disney and because they don't have AP, I could only book a stay with AP discount. No deal on tickets for them and I had to make reservations for my family but not my nephews. How much harder do you want to make it on people with AP. I will not be renewing the AP once it's up. Disney has made it clear to me that they want you to buy a package to visit.

I really hate the PPRs. Oh boy, if you are booking a stay on property, your should not need a PPR no matter what entry ticket you use, their systems are smart enough to figure that out.

Pre pandemic our family held 3 platinum passes for many many years. The good ol' days are over.

Unfortunately, this is the result Disney wants. They hate AP holders

I think what Disney charges for the Incredi-pass, which I bought, I'm in the same boat as having to make reservations despited staying on property! Meanwhile, my mom, can buy dicounted tickets and not worry about it! I definitely left a long comment when I got the AP survey several weeks ago (not that it'll do any good). Along with the fact that I never get these so-called AP newsletters, have never been able to get a PH magnet (why can't they mail these??), etc.

I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop on how ****ed AP holders are going to get when they move to allowing people to pay for prebooked Genie+ attractions, likely as part of vacation packages that AP holders might not necessarily be eligible for because we don’t need tickets. I hope they don’t do this and allow anyone staying at a Disney hotel to purchase, but I could see it. Back when Genie+ first launched AP holders could not buy it in advance for length of trip but regular ticket media could.

Disney does not think their passholders are stupid..... They just hate them.

They hate us when things are busy, but during slowdowns they beg for us to come to the parks.
Not defending it, but it's just business. When it's sufficiently busy with guests on vacation and willing to splurge, why embrace the guests who come for a few hours and maybe don't even buy a bottle of Coke?

Except there are those of us who are not “local”, have to buy the most expensive AP, spend a fortune staying onsite, and eat all our meals at WDW. Granted, we don’t have blackout dates, but staying onsite should negate those stupid park reservation.

I agree 100%; a Disney resort reservation should mean no reservation required, especially when coupled with a $1,500 annual pass.

Staying on site allows for unlimited reservations for the length of your stay that you can make months ahead of time. The locals get a limited number plus the good-to-go days.

But the point is we out-of-state on-site Passholders don’t want to make reservations months ahead of time. We don’t want to make them AT ALL. If other on-site ticket holders can go where they please every day without a reservation, so should on-site Incredi-Passholders. It is especially annoying to have to make reservations when others in your traveling party do not.
