I'm of the opinion that

A) Disney shouldn't have to lift this blockout date, so that's fine with me. As someone else said, the AP situation is way different here than it is in Florida, and would it kill a passholder to see the parade a week earlier?

B) BUT. Gleefully setting out to lure/trap passholders into purchasing one-day-one-park tickets is beyond slimy.

Agreed. I never said they HAD to do A)

On the other hand no one is forcing APs to buy a discounted day ticket, yet who among us will be surprised when large numbers of them do exactly that?

Earlier I complained about Disney seizing every opportunity to exploit even the most inconsequential happening at the parks, but I failed to call out the APs who faithfully buy into it.

If someone is willing to shell out (semi-discounted) big bucks to watch an old parade when they've already plunked down big bucks even for a cheapo pass, I honestly have no sympathy for them. That's a decision made entirely by the consumer, I don't think there's anything slimy about it on Disney's side. It's not like they even had to offer a discount... they could have simply let black out dates be black out dates.

Comparing unblocking APs at WDW with unblocking them at DLR just isn't even reasonable.

Disney is under no obligation to unblock any days at all. Honestly, if I was paying top dollar for a park hopper and coming in from out of town and had carefully chosen blocked days, I would be very unhappy to find Disney had opened the floodgates.

I can't even imagine how annoyed I would be. And you can guarantee there are hundreds, if now thousands, who have done just that. When I plan a trip, I always take block out dates into consideration.

No, but if you want to talk about slimy and tacky, that would have been right up there if they had pulled that stunt.

Not sure "slimy" would be the right word in that scenario as it would be an indirect effect of something as opposed to what's happening here. Regardless, I'm talking about something that is real and happening and your talking about "what if" scenarios that aren't even on Disney's radar. I doubt they are too concerned with the 53 people who are savvy enough or have the ability ( schedule etc.) to plan their vacation around the AP schedule.

Remember, they are allowing tourists and vacationers to find an overcrowded park all year long. Thousands and thousands of people. So the "53" people who may have scheduled their trip in late August around AP blackouts im pretty sure don't even exist in their minds.

You'd be surprised how many people schedule around blackout dates.

Dude, I'm only talking about that scenario because you were saying it was slimy of Disney to offer a discount as opposed to doing what WDW did and drop black out dates.

Regardless, I'm sure it's what, 1% -5%?of the total vacationers / tourists that visit in a given year? Again not on Disney's radar. Why are we talking about something that's NOT happening and Disney don't even know or acknowledge exist. We may as well talk about Big Foot.
