↩ replying to HauntedPirateSeems like asking people to disperse is the last thing they should be doing...

Maybe they should buy every AP holder a copy of Liz Tuccillo's "He's Just Not That Into You"...

↩ replying to HauntedPirateAll that unfavorable mix!

Disney has updated the Theme Park Reservation page today to show park hours during the selection process.
Here's what the screen previously looked like.

did they remove the ridiculous requirement to keep signing in when you just want to search?
I quit using it because of that unless I absolutely have to now. They made it too complicated.

Disney keeping the unfavorable guests out again: no AP reservations available but day tickets are wide open for Monday 10/16:

This is a preview of next year. I also believe this may be the first time every single park has been available and selling day tickets for day guests, but closed to annual passholders. They are definitely going to get sued again. There’s just no way they are at “capacity” or anywhere close to it in, for example, Animal Kingdom on a random October Monday. They’re doing this to save on last minute staffing.

↩ replying to Fido ChuckwagonI don't see it. Not that someone wouldn't be willing to sue but that they likely will not have a very strong argument.
The very first thing listed on every level of pass under the pass details is that your pass is subject to reservation availability and legally, I don't believe Disney is required to allot all possible capacity to AP holders no matter what is happening with other "buckets".
Hopefully, as they seem to be slowly rolling all this stuff back, we will see them drop the requirements for APs with an onsite stay at some point followed by all APs down the line.

The block out of for MK. Three other parks are available.

↩ replying to DranthThey're selling "no blackout date" passes, and then artificially limiting the people they've sold these passes to. There's just no way Animal Kingdom is selling out to day ticket people today. They can add whatever they want in the 500 page 6 point font print they want, but at the end of the day, you can't do what they're doing, and they're going to get burned, again.

↩ replying to Basil of Baker StreetAll 4 parks were unavailable this morning.

↩ replying to Fido ChuckwagonThe whole reason the California lawsuit went anywhere was because they tried to limit availability on passes that were sold before the reservation system existed. There was no language in those contracts to justify what they were doing. That isn't the case with any passes purchased since.
I think you are right, someone will try if this goes on long enough but I would be surprised if it made it very far. With luck reservations will be gone for everyone soon enough and we never need to find out.
