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

[Goofyernmost]

The people you are describing are not annual pass holders. Im not defending the reservation system, they should scrap it for all times other than Christmas and Thanksgiving, but it’s not impacting regular guests any more. And for AP holders, its basically just a dumb annoyance.

Yes, I know and have already addressed that. It's was justified during Covid only. Any other time not so much!

First thing, I know this is a 5 year old thread. Second, this isn't a local park, people from all over the world and all over this country travel for miles and miles to go to WDW and MK within. There is no better way to cripple yourself then to have someone ride, drive or fly to a place only to find out that the plans they had have to hit the trash because they either didn't know about or wouldn't even have thought to check on such a ridiculous thing as making reservations for a theme park, no matter how popular it got. It is a corporation death wish to even attempt it. People, especially the ultra lazy USA residents would quickly find someplace else to take a chance on with a whole lot of less pre-arrival stress. There might have been a solid reason during Covid to limit the numbers of people there at the same time. But there is no other reason. If they want to accommodate more people. All they have to do is build some people eater attractions and stop closing present attractions. The doesn't help cut down on crowding at all.

They’re not crowded…really at all.

The reservations have no practical value as it stands.

The most likely scenario is they HOPE people will just start showing up on hoards and they can reimplement them en masse.

I’ve seen this fish before

But they have outpriced the market where That’s even a possibility now

I wasn't being sarcastic. Humorous, perhaps. However, I've worked in the IT field for over 30 years and I am 100% convinced that Disney IT is staffed by morons. But I don't believe the decision-makers are stupid. Not in the slightest. We can disagree with their decisions. I sometimes do; you always do. And, yes, I think sometimes they are greedy. But stupid? No, I don't see that.

…actually…they’re kinda dumb. Not addressing the market where it actually is and failing to plan for longterm
Viability

That’s pretty low brow
