amenBecause Disney ticket pricing isn't complicated enough.
I'm waiting for them to tie the number of FP+ you initially get to the tier resort you choose. Deluxes get 10/day. Mods get 7/day. Values get 3/day.

I am as well. I can definitely see that coming along with being able to book FP+s and ADRs farther out.
My problem with it is it penalizes people that can only travel during those times; teachers and school-aged children in particular. There is a reason it is more crowded at those times, and Disney has already implemented strategies to increase attendance at their slow times. (Free dining, discounted room rates, etc.). Charging more for tickets during the "prime times" isn't going to change park attendance, it's just going to force the people that can only go at those times to pay more. They will still only be able to go during peak season; it's not as if suddenly their tickets when they are available to go will be $15 more so school will close in October so they can go to Disney when it's cheaper. So, I suppose they will do it, and they will increase their profits, but it isn't going to noticeably change their park attendance distribution.
THIS! I can't go to my principal and ask for a week off during a "non-peak" time because Disney doesn't want to "burst at the seams" anymore during summers and holidays. Ridiculous.
I think they were implying that there would tiered FP+s because those staying at a deluxe were already paying a premium for the room.That would be fine, as long as they charge Deluxe hotel guests $150 per day to enter the parks, moderates $125, and values $100.
A friend, who still comes around here sometimes, posted on another board that "Star Wars lands don't build themselves..."Still trying to pay off its magical new FP system.
