So, I'm quoting this post from the TPAS forum because my response is speculative and I think we want to keep that thread with just news, but I think this is the FIRST time I see the language of making sure your booking is linked. Do you think this is because resort guests *will* indeed have priority? Or do you think this refers to UK guests having tickets and those with tickets will have priority (not necessarily resort guests).
This is what the UK version that just came out today said:
"In addition, we will also be introducing a new Theme Park reservation system. You will receive access to the Theme Park reservation system before new tickets are sold to other Guests. More details about the new Theme Park reservation system will follow shortly. It is important that you have a My Disney Experience account and have linked your booking, as this will allow you to reserve Theme Park access once the system is available."
The info that they sent to US guests two weeks ago, only had the first part:
"In addition, we will also be introducing a new Theme Park reservation system. You will receive access to the Theme Park reservation system before new tickets are sold to other Guests."
(In the absence of real news, let the speculation begin!)
