limited supply? nah, i think disney will sell these at the highest price they can, and sell as many as they can. They're telling everyone right now that unless you pay extra, they dont care if you enjoy the experience or not.If they go with single-ride, instant fastpasses, I think their goal would be to limit the amount of people, but not keep the price low. Disney would have to severely limit the number sold, so as not to turn the standby lines into standstill lines, and infuriate everyone who can't or won't pay for a fastpass. But Disney would still be looking to maximize their profit. So the price would be set (perhaps dynamically as the lines increase) at the highest level at which Disney could sell out the limited supply.
We’re seeing a phased in change in philosophy at Disney Parks. It used to be marketed as an all inclusive resort sort of. Everyone was on the same playing field, and that was one of the things that made Disney stick out from other parks. I’ve never spent a dime on fast pass system at any theme park, and have always thought it looked tacky when its done. You’re now seeing a Disney where they are expecting people just to be grateful to be there, not the other way around, and for the most part, Disney is winning on that philosophy. There are people that will pay anything to get to vacation at Disney, you see it on this forum. Disney will win for the next year or two because of the pent up travel demand and extra cash people have, but after that, I hope they fall flat on their face and have to offer massive discounts to get people to vacation on their property again.
