Reservation expansion

[Vegas Disney Fan]

I could see that. They already don't really want AP holders in the parks much. If it was me and the treated me like this I would let my pass lapse and go to a park that appreciates their holders.

That’s our plan, let our Keys expire and visit the parks less, Disney gets what they want and we’ll just spend our vacation dollars elsewhere… not sure why any company would want that but we’ll oblige.

Scott is pretty plugged in and has a high accuracy rate.

Yep. He’s basically their “beat guy” right now.

Voting with your wallet is the most effective strategy.

Instead of looking to reduce friction just do it already.

Have to wait til 2023. You know. Same reasons why Genie will be around til than before any changes are made

I can understand the Genie+ one. It makes no sense to put in a temporary change only to re-do it in a few months.

Precisely. Genie+ is different and has a very specific service agreement with people who have purchased it through December 31. The AP program terms are ambiguous by design.

All of these things take time because they have to first decide what to do, second make the necessary software changes, third train CMs and then fourth finally announce the change. They also don't want the program to be known for random and significant changes. They want to land on something that will last for years.

Oh come on, we all know Disney has a huge rooms with massive displays that are tracking guests and CM's around the parks via their cell phones at all times. Why do you think they keep building these large ugly boxes in each park?

Did you give the Disney app permission to use location services when you installed it?

If so, there's location data being sent to a Disney server somewhere.

Of which no human (Disney employee and not especially a non-software engineering parks leader) has access to.

I hope you're right.

It's also nighttime entertainment. Epcot and MK have it, DHS barely does and AK not at all. They need more nighttime stuff. Fantasmic should help but they should also bring back Galactic Spectacular (or similar) and a Rivers of Light replacement.

Galactic Spectacular was fantastic! Early 2020 last sight, following Fantasmic. Nothing in the sky at MGM, now DHS, is a definite loss for WDW, as lingering in the shops and restaurants has been eradicated.

very few left there anyway, they shuttered too many, or did away with them all together. that park has half what it use to. and whats left has been turned into a preschool toy store.

I hope you're right.

They are correct. Might be time to stop watching NCIS...

 

[Ayla]

I'd be amazed to hear that CM's phones running the Disneyworld app are immune from location services...

You don't need to have location services on to use MDE.

 

[MagicHappens1971]

Haha I love how technologically advanced people believe Disney is regarding this stuff. Most of this stuff is hacked together, so many systems don't talk to one another and leaders certainly don't have access to that data (in reality, under normal circumstances, no human does).

Leaders in most locations can find out very easily if you’re in a park (if they wanted to)

For sure, as they could any guest.

 

[MagicHappens1971]

Yes. That’s all I was saying, they can’t tell where you are but they can tell if you’ve tapped in to a park, as they could any guest. Any guest relations/front desk cast member could do the same

 

[Casper Gutman]

I hope you're right.

Don’t be so paranoid. It’s not like WDW is going to make guests wear a tracking bracelet and then have their every movement recorded by a multi-billion dollar computer system. That’s just nutty.

What’s sad about this is with ALL this data they still have failed in using it properly. This type of $$$ and dedication to knowing your every move should end up with near perfection when it comes to guest satisfaction yet here we are…

And they will have the guests pay for it......

Answer is simple, don’t waste your money on the DPS and use the Keys to the Kingdom card.
