so as DVC members would you be making park reservations for your whole party that is going? probably a dumb question, sorry.
Disney lower prices? LOL! Fantasyland has NOT left the Magic Kingdom. I'm expecting the exact opposite..... Prices will go UP because they can't let in as many guests and they have to make up the profits from being closed.
That’s why we won’t be back until all this is over. We only go every 4-5 years anyway but if it 6-7 thats ok too.I think they should reduce ticket prices if this be the case. Why would someone pay full price with only limited access?
If I had to guess, I would think this would inhibit some guests from being able to have guaranteed entrance to at least one park for the day. If one person books 2-4 parks, they will reach capacity quickly, correct? If they only allow each person to pick one they can better regulate their numbers and guarantee resort guests entrance to a park for the day. What about dining reservations too though? If I book MK for the morning, will I then be limited to only making dining reservations there for the day. Hoping we know more soon!And what about park hopping? Does that mean if you want to visit all 4 parks in one day people will have to "book" all for parks for that day?
IMHO the problem with the reservation system is that it does not track when people LEAVE the park. So say the capacity is 20K guests, do you only accept 20K reservations? What happens at 3pm when 2K guests have left for the day? Are people on "standy", are people lined up at the gates waiting for capacity, will Disney over-book to keep it at "full" capacity? Having not been during NYE time frame what does WDW usually do when the reach capacity?
It's hardly a perfect system for sure.
Next thing you know people will have to scan out like they do when they scan into the park.IMHO the problem with the reservation system is that it does not track when people LEAVE the park.

So if that be the case people who pay (or paid) for an AP that includes park hopping are getting screwed if they are only allowed one park per day???

I do not think the park hopping thing is that big of a deal. They have stopped selling new tickets so if people in the future can not buy Park Hoppers as in option the only people left are APs and previously sold tickets and I do not think that will make it unmanageable to let those people only Park Hop.
I agree with the general sentiment in here. I think it will limited to 1 park per day, mapping to FP+ reservations made.
Park Hopping will be allowed, once they get a handle on how this is working in practice.
I also think , pure speculation, that existing AP and DVC owners are going to get preference for new ticket bookings, as well as on-site hotels.
Very much wondering , whatever capacity they plan for, how that will impact off-site hotels.
Would love to have someone point me to hard core data points for WDW on-site rooms, and how it relates to park capacity numbers.
