Valid point but I was referring to the majority of Disney deluxe resorts especially ones on the monorail loop. One thing to your point which I would be curious about is renting dvc points and being allowed to go & that price point.
Still more complex then it needs to be. Just make it simple. Change the price to $30 but cap sales so it's only available to 10% of guests each day.
From what I understand this may be by design. They don't want people constantly attempting to trade up reservations - this would make inventory even worse throughout the day.
I debated that for August but i need 2 rooms & couldnt guarantee me then together etc. good to know they are included for future.
I'd be fine with this if we're just talking about the G+ part and leave ILL alone. If they included those as well the price would have to go higher.
It didn’t before. In the old system there were ways to get FoP the day of. Just keep refreshing and occasionally it would pop up where some were modifying
I don't hope they go that way. They'd have to charge more than Universal does, and there is no way they coudl give it for free to all their deluxe rooms. I'm not paying an extra $800 per day for a family of four just to enjoy the already overpriced theme park I paid $400 for a family of four to enter. I'd bet I'm the median guest here, and Disney would take a real income hit if they did this. I'd just stop going.
So you mean there is no reason except for an absolutely logical business reason to not be operating at a loss?
You know they aren't operating at a loss.. And this would only benefit guest satisfaction, which is their product. Let's not pretend that Disney World is ever in the red on even the slowest day.
That makes sense and it's part of why I don't think it's that likely they'd move in this direction. With the way they are implementing the times and checking for what is currently out there, it'd put a lot more stress on the system reserving stub reservations for people while they made up their mind. It could turn this into the Hunger Games, which it'd already be if they didn't limit to one per attraction.
I think the harm would be that people who knew when the drops might be would grab up reservations needed to balance the system. These people might be able to pull 6 or 7 passes in a given day where another might only be able to get 4 without running into re-ride restrictions. This is impossible to know.
Yes it's there own doing but I don't think it was intentional. In theory the system should work and I'm sure when they were testing it out with CMs it worked wonderfully. When this many guests are using it each day it overwhelms the system.
Because if you could trade up, there would be no risk in making any reservation at all. You just keep trading up over and over for a better reservation. Right now, you have to be fairly sure you want the reservation. All in all, the number of slots used stays the same but with people constantly swapping reservations, the volume on the system would be much higher which would affect inventory.
Capping is not going to fix the bad design of this. They have went backwards, not forward
FP+ didn't have the volume issues that Genie+ does. It can't be said enough that when people pay for something, they are going to try their hardest to get their money's worth. Even if it means sitting on their phone all afternoon. The balking point for FP+ searches was much, much lower.
