Those are the people who get back from vacation and tell everyone how miserable their vacation was because they just thought they could wing everything. I don't know if we'll be going back until Chapek is gone, so maybe we'll have forgotten how to do most of this stuff by then too.I genuinely would like to know…how does the average person who doesn’t keep up with Disney news understand how to navigate the parks? There’s park reservations, new rules for park hopping, mobile ordering, restaurant reservations, boarding groups, all these new Genie things, constantly changing mask rules, etc. etc. It’s making my head spin!
Disneyland is $20 a day and includes photopass.... WDW continues to squeeze money out by keeping that separate
$15 a day seems fine, but it's per guest. so $15 x 5 days x 8 guests (my next trip example) = $600 extra dollars for the trip....
I love maxpass too, but it’s completely different at WDW. DLR has so many rides that it’s worth it. I don’t see WDW matching that experience with way fewer rides.That's what people used to say about FP, but if you were smart about it, you could get a lot per day. I know we certainly did all the times we used Max Pass at DL...totally worth the $10-$20/day that we paid there every time.
They are not pay per ride attractions.
You have the option to purchase 2 time specific rides on the Tier 1 group per day just like making an ADR for Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner.
You also have the option of using VQ for rides that support that feature and the normal queue for rides that don't use the VQ option.
Note: the number of Individual Attraction times will be limited just like ADRs.

Absolutely agree with you 100%If you can only make one at a time what's the benefit to the resort guests booking at 7am? Are these going to be very limited. So people will be paying an upcharge of 15/person and taking only whats available? Sounds miserable.
I can't believe how much Disney is nickel and diming everyone, its really turning me off. SO much that used to be included is now an upcharge and there is zero reason to stay on site and pay ridiculous inflated hotel prices if there are no longer tangible benefits.

Well, what if you could wake up at 7am and be allowed to pay for ride access? Would that help?Waking up at 7 am every single day of my vacation just doesn’t seem like a perk at all.
I'm interested to see if this is an opt in by day option. We normally purchase 7 or 8 day tickets. I might add this for a couple of days but wouldn't need it for every day. Hoping it isn't like park hopper where you're either in or out.
that’s my question too
And the point of my post was that they’re clearly afraid of announcing the range of the pay per ride reservation price
Couldn't agree more. Making the program the same for the day guest, staying off-site, who will also most likely eat off-site and visit other attractions is ridiculous. But hey, it will save me (literally) thousands if we do another trip.Staying at Disney? You get 2 FP+ 7 days ahead. Maybe 14 days? 3 for deluxe snd DVC. This incentivizes staying on property, which is a large revenue stream with, I’d assume, a high margin?
It is disappointing that Disney is charging for what used to be included in the price of admission. WDW is now saying its a perk to book at 7 am but guests are still going to have to pay extra to get the benefit of the perk. I feel like this is classifying rides into 3 tiers which is understandable but telling a guest that they arent allowed to ride a popular ride without paying extra for it or taking up a large amount of time to experience the ride just doesn’t seem right (Given the expense that has already been incurred just to be there and that it wont be a level playing field). I think that one free fastpass for top tier and one free fastpass for 2nd tier should be included as part of admission. in my opinion, extended hours were the best benefit. way more of a benefit than walking around with a cell phone in your hand all day. WDW should have just increased the ticket price per person per day. This could really backfire for WDW unless this genie is a genius. This will shorten the length of the average stay and make it harder for families to sleep-in, making them feel like they have to tour from sun up to sun down. that destroys the disney magic and all the wonderful amenities and atmosphere disney has created.I'm super disappointed. I've felt on the fence, waiting to see what perks might be extended to on-site guests, given everything. I just don't see the point with them (WDW) any more.
