I think a lot of us are hanging out hoping things will change back

Whispers: it’s ridiculous that I paid $6k for IncrediPasses for my family and need park reservations except when I don’t need them but still need them for Lightning Lane. Unless I don’t. But, do I?
 
But by making lightning lanes I am effectively saying I’m entering this one park, so why is it even necessary to make a park pass on a different tab etc etc etc? Answer: it makes zero sense, they are trying to hang on to this park pass the same way they hung on to genie plus for way too long.

You have cause and effect backwards.

You can't book a lightning lane for a give date and park unless the system recognizes that you have valid admission for that date and park. The system doesn't recognize that you have valid admission for that date and park until you tell it you're coming.

But if you have an annual pass as long as it doesn’t block out that/those date/s then it shouldn’t matter. An annual pass is in fact valid admission.

Right but that would be changing the rules yet again for AP holders. It’s pointless, and I don’t think it’ll happen.
They could, and should, just get rid of them altogether.
I say this as someone who travels to WDW during Christmas & Easter: Just scrap park reservations except for Thanksgiving Week, Christmas Week, and Easter Week. They are clearly not needed at any other time now since they're always available and they're just an added annoyance with no benefit to anyone, including Disney at this point. Or, if you **must** use park reservations because you want to have an idea of where your AP's who don't buy LL will be (even though they can easily change their mind at the last minute anyway), then still require park reservations, but just don't cap the number than an AP can make.

At absolute minimum, park reservations for APs staying onsite should be removed.

After spending crazy money on multi-day tickets the past several years (25 month span - individual cost breakdown over $3.5k for ticket, hopper, share of memory maker), to finally finding a good opportunity to buy APs again, but now getting smacked with being the only group left needing park reservations, when every trip we stay onsite too.

There’s gotta be a better way to make it feel less done dirty 😆 I prefer happily parting with money. They used to have much greater finesse in that department.
