I have a feeling reservations will go away on day tickets (after the new year?), but will remain in some form for Keys. TDA was already working on APs with reservations prior to the pandemic anyways, so it makes sense they stay in some form on Keys.
We were in Temecula for a wedding this week and we didn’t even bother to check the reservation calendar to see if we could drive up to DL for a couple hours. What would have been a guaranteed couple hours of our vacation a couple years ago wasn’t even worth the hassle of looking anymore.
Keeping it for the local keys makes sense. I wonder if they should do the reverse of local ID’s and offer no reservation options if you don’t live in the state?
I can't imagine there are that many out-of-state Keys for them to create a special Key just for them. Rather I think they'll just end up taking the "loss" and forcing them to buy day tickets just like the posters here are doing.
I wish they would do like WDW does and make a special reservation for resort guests. Doesn’t seem right to be blocked if you are staying at a resort.
This is where I think they'll just drop the reservations all together for day ticket guests, which will solve that for almost all staying on-property. It'll be very rare for a resort guest staying on-property to also be a Key holder, which I imagine those would already have a reservation.
There were enough of us that wanted to visit both coasts that premiere was around for many years. We exist! I repeat we exist! Haha.
That’s not rare at all! It’s extremely common.
Oh I know they (you) exist, but I still can't imagine there is a lot of them especially at this point.
I would guess, and its just a guess, its only 1-2% of daily bookings. Not a lot in the grand scheme of things.
There is a reservation bank for those staying at DL resort. It will show availability when your hotel reservation is linked to your account.
We were talking about this the other day, I bought my first premier pass in 2014, pretty sure I paid $1100 (including tax). That wouldn’t even get me a decent DL only or WDW only pass now. It’s wild how much it’s gone up in the last decade.
I got my first premium AP in 1995 and it cost $149. No black out days. My wife and I went to Disneyland at least twice a week back then. Sometimes even with her parents.
But also, people watch videos of Fantasmic constantly to find evidence of mistakes, and are shocked when there are, in fact, mistakes? Make it make sense.
