There would be reservations that opened up, but not like it is now. Pretty much every location, anytime you want.
edit: Of course I could be misremembering. I am getting up there in years.

I agree tho this year is wide open bc my window just opened up for Thanksgiving and i was able to get pretty favorable times/places on my 1st shot so i get your point.There would be reservations that opened up, but not like it is now. Pretty much every location, anytime you want.

The only thing I haven’t been able to get is breakfast/lunch at Akerhaus but we need a very specific date and I need it for 8 people.

Want a real shocker? Look at what you can get as standby for a wait of 10-15 minutes.
Granted, it's lunch time right now but there are a staggering number of decent table service restaurants showing walk-up availability (10 minutes or less) right now. Plenty that aren't, but 50's, Skipper Canteen, Hollywood & Vine, Sanaa, Garden Grill...

Or, major attractions were down those days; that’s a major issue if the park is not named Magic Kingdom.
Just one or two rides going down in AK, HS, or Epcot drives guests to other rides and reduces hourly capacity significantly. I.e. increasing the wait times in standby. Also a byproduct most like is that it increases ILL sales, so the park really can take its time if it so chooses getting the ride back up

Flush with cash - giving back to their most loyal customers. Why are you so negative on Disney doing a good thing?

The bigger - not biggest - lever has been pulled.
They're desperate to get out-of-state families back into their hotels, opening their wallets on the regular.

What’s the biggest lever?

Seems like they're pulling everything they can for out-of-town visitors... sooner or later they're gonna have to plea with APs.
Can't imagine it won't happen. Either some discounts, get 3 months free like Universal, or even (gulp) a rewards program.
Free dining on a non-discounted package or ticket discounts for all would be my guess.

A big level could be AP discounts or something to get dvc members back in the parks regularly too
Free dining would probably be the biggest even though it’s sometimes bait and switch there
Maybe they could bring back fastpasses for free and remove park reservations. That’ll do it

They need to lower the pass prices
Let’s not parse…
But they can’t admit they overpriced their product publicly
It’s the direct embarrassment of “blue ocean”

Product offerings - even a rushed move of MSEP or similar - couldn't take effect quickly enough to make the impact they are desperately searching for.
In this short-term crisis, all they can do is adjust the pricing and guest experience relative to the current offerings.

Remember the days they didn’t want to sell annual passes again because they didn’t like annual passholders
Pepperidge farm remembers
But will they do either? I’m skeptical.
