Is attendance really down at WDW this or…

[Chi84]

We arrive tomorrow evening - *plenty* of options still on the board.

(We're going to Summerhouse on the Lake for the first time)

This is how it should be.

The original FP system was nice because it let you be two places at once: In line for a ride and out shopping or eating.

Under the current arrangement, you can be at 3 (or more?) places at once, depending on how much you're willing to pay.

Gate clicks are decidedly down, but if 2/3rds of the guests are in multiple places at once, it can feel much busier than it actually is.

That is not how you do that analysis. They are still X amount of people in the park. If you want to say there may be less people in standby at any given point, then sure. But people in multiple places? LL doesn't create an additional multiplier.

Purely anecdotal but I just made our dining reservations for January and I’ve never seen so many options, on previous trips I’ve had to stalk the website to get reservations at places like Be our guest, Le Cellier, etc, this trip everything was available, even Cinderella and Akershus. I’m hopeful this is a sign of a slow visit but as I didn’t bother reserving any of them either due to the prices it’s possible it’s just a sign prices are too high.

I did get Liberty Tree, Boathouse, Chefs de France (lunch), and Biergarten at the exact times I wanted though, kind of nice to be able to eat at 6pm every night rather than having dinner at 4 one night, 8 the next night, etc based on what times were available.

Sit down dinner is down with some exceptions for sure. Prefixe menus and LL (for two reasons) are the main culprit I bet.

Would definitely break this up into a group of 5/4. You probably need to coordinate with a member of your party to do this! (Depending on what mood the app is in.) Bolded because I didn’t want you to set an alarm to do the 6:00 am drop only to realize you can only put one reservation in your name. If you want a second reservation at an overlapping time, it needs to be under someone else’s account. If you have their login you can do it that way or you can text back and forth to select coordinating times.

(If that’s changed and anyone is aware, let me know.)

I want to thank you and @wannabeBelle for your advice. I was easily able to get into my reservations by splitting my party in two.
