I wish I could buy one with blockout dates but being out of state I can’t. I agree, either buy the Incredi-Pass or quit complaining.
I do not think insiders have ever pointed to no one ever having to deal with park pass again. On the contrary, I would expect that the best case scenario you will get with APs and reservations would be keeping the reservation system for all but the top level pass.

There are QR codes to scan at the bus stops here at OKW to show “availability”. Nada showing for the rest of the week.

I'm not sure when this happened but park reservations for day tickets was moved off of the FP+ system and onto the new park reservation system. Not sure what this means, if anything.
Edit: I'm assuming this happened with the changes a few weeks ago and I never noticed.

Well that's good. iirc the fastpass backend is running on legacy stuff, or looked like it at least. A lot of the newer stuff like VQ run on newer services and stuff and are hosted on AWS.
Gotta commend them for a neat and smooth transition for the park pass backend. Lots of things could've went wrong there lol

I think now that this has happened, we can finally expect reservations in the app. Major changes are still definitely coming overall but it is being slow played.

I truly don't understand how they intended to make us do everything in the app including scheduling, CS orders, and purchases... except for the thing that you need to do to actually get in the park.

So the park reservation system and park hopping time restrictions are NOT being eliminated afterall?
As far as I know the plan here remains in effect. However, timelines may vary.
Major overhaul of Disney Park Pass reservations and Park Hopping coming to Walt Disney World in the new year
Much of the existing Disney Park Pass system will be removed and simplified, providing guests with an experience closer to pre-pandemic conditions.

From what I know, the final version of all of this is something that 80-90% of you will like. I just have no idea when we will get there. There are so many factors and even internal stakeholder disputes that are moving goal posts.
Please by May 1..As far as I know the plan here remains in effect. However, timelines may vary.

Apparently there has been a post on a fb group this evening that park passes are being dropped for guests using a UK ultimate ticket. No idea what group and its being taken with a pinch of salt on the UK forum I saw it reported on. I also think it would be very strange for it to only be for UK guests.

Hopefully they keep park reservations for Christmas/New Years. It is so much better now that week then it was 3 years ago. They can ditch it for the rest of the year.

Disney controls how many tickets they sell.

Exactly. I think between reservations for APs and single day tickets going park specific, there is no longer a need for this system any time of the year. Offloading their park logistics onto vacationers (especially Disney resort guests) is simply bad for business both short and long term.

I am curious to see how they deal with APs staying on-site. That’s still a desirable group. It includes a lot of DVC members.

I have been personally pleading with those I know to not punish the most loyal guests simply because they will put up with it.
