We were planning to use the last day of our 3 day tickets next month until they announced the magic keys and end to legacy AP discounts, so we quickly burned off our remaining days this month. I doubt we're going to get magic key passes unless there are some changes.
Aren't the passes almost the same except no parking on the cheaper versions? I just don't see major changes to these passes other than that. I am definitely more familiar with the WDW AP's so maybe I am missing something?
I'm mostly talking about changes at the parks, like getting rid of masks, adding more entertainment, trams, etc. It might be worth it if you are getting the old Disneyland experience, but you're not. Not even close.
You cant just drop in and visit either, the best benefit.
That really depends on how much demand there is and how much they limit daily park reservations. But yes, in theory it should be less convenient to just drop in.
I think the concept of reservations has a lot of benefits, but if I'm paying the same price I used to for "all you can eat", without getting that same benefit, I feel it's greatly lost its appeal to me.
I agree that I do not like the reservations system, but for the last 6 weeks I have tested just about every day, even a few minutes ago I tried and I can make a reservation for all 4 park on the same day. To make clear this is WDW not Disneyland.
I think they're going to want to keep reservations around even if they don't need them so people don't just show up outside of meal times. I think reservations are a way to force more spending by making it harder for people to avoid eating at the parks.
Absolutely the best benefit for me personally as well. I throughly enjoyed arriving at the parks for evening dinner and fun with my little sister and mom or my friends. Those visits were much more pleasing.
Absolutely agree. Really depends on if there is enough benefits driven by the reservation system (lower crowds) to outweigh what was lost. Time will tell.
Thats so nice and I'm glad I'm not the only one. In fact, all my family and friends that were APs are passing on the "Magical Keys" because of the reservations. I wonder how popular they will actually be.
I think the program will have plenty of customers. Lots of DLR AP-addicted folks out there that will spend their money and will be happy to adapt to the new regulations.
That's true. I'm sure plenty will still use it, but I think it won't be the same numbers as prior APs. Then again Disney also has less offerings and less staff than before.
I'd recommend anyone hold out on buying these unless they have a trip already planned. Who knows how this whole operation will go?
Very...there are so many people with pixie dust flowing through their veins that they won't be able to give up the addiction.
