Reservation expansion

I don’t believe this is accurate. They plan to move away from park hopping restrictions, not exaggerate them, last I’d heard.
At one point the reservation system was used to manage capacity. Now it’s about labor and resource allocation to minimize expense.
cant be bothered, it fits their latest MO and have no doubt it is true. He did explain that on site guests will have priority so dont think he just made it all up on a whim.

Not necessarily made up, but it sounds like he's massively confused things at the very least.

Well then respectfully if you can’t bother to go through the effort to verify this, it’s no better than clickbait. It sounds like you’re dealing with a single mis-trained CM.

Waistline expansion yes, park-hopping reservations unlikely.

It’s a sign of the times when we determine what rumors are likely TRUE based on how bad it sounds.

That would actually be smart. Surely their data is telling them that guests are resenting the amount of planning and general hassle a WDW vacation requires?

Yes.

Again, if this was actually happening and has been communicated to call center cast; they would not be allowed to discuss it with guests until it was made public. And there would be no way for them to tell you there isn’t availability for a system that doesn’t exist yet

It wouldn't surprise me.
They know it's a problem so they're going to make it worse.
Mark it down, they'll sell tickets soon enough that won't require a park reservation... for a premium.

I’m by no means an insider but I do hear things from time to time, and this is definitely not something I’ve heard even a whisper about

Of all the wild things I've heard about potential Park Pass changes, this is certainly a new one.
I'll look into it but it would be a bit surprising to me considering you can't make reservations directly in the app. More surprising to implement this when it's really no longer needed (August is expected to be slow).
I will say, be cautious of anything any CM tells you, even those supposedly in the know. They are often, by design, given very incomplete information that will lead to wildly inaccurate conclusions. It would also be incredibly odd for a call center CM to have access to such information and even more odd for them to freely offer it up to guests.
Finally, last I heard about park hopping, they were aiming to remove the restrictions, not make it more restrictive.
