Disney News, Discussion & an Element of Fun - 2022 Edition

I could see Disney going with a tiered ticket system instead of an upgrade on top of the park hopper. You could have the standard single park ticket. The mid level would be similar to the current park hopper where you could hop starting at 2PM. Then they could have their Hopper+, where you can hop from park to park as early as you want given that you reserved in advance or check Hopper+ availability on the app. I can't see them limiting the current 2PM hopping, but nothing past that would surprise me with Disney anymore.

In plans being considered, a guest would be able to make a reservation for secondary parks at other times and not be restricted to 2pm.

I would really like it if we could park hop to Epcot for lunch. I would like it even better if they completely drop the time limits for park hopping.

Food is the main reason we get the Hopper.

And NOT charging even more. . .

Anyone else wondering how this new rumored park hopping ticket would work with the annual pass? I wonder if they'll restrict it to the Incredipass and Sorcerer pass only or will make it an add on like the water parks and Photopass.

Will there be any moonlight events in Oct, Nov or Dec? Or is WDW too busy with all the other events going on? (Halloween party, Christmas party)

Oh wow, unexpected but welcome.

Barber shop reservations dropped this morning - we've been waiting 2.5 years for his first haircut I resent the 6am alarm but they went FAST so I was thankful I didn't roll back over. I don't think well that early but I was able to snag a spot that worked great with our schedule after a few tries of sold out dates.

I know there is super limited capacity but clearly others have been holding out, too!

What about a fee you pay so you don't need park reservations? THAT would be awesome, and open up our plans for our vacation without being locked down to an exact plan of what we're doing each day. Especially with 10-day tickets in a 15 day window. We have to decide RIGHT NOW - instead of when we're tired - what days will be rest days.

Disney World has not commented yet, but we will update you should they put out a statement.

My guess it was a glitch, but I bet they are planning for those two to be available again soon.

Highly unlikely for new MM events to be announced for the remainder of 2022. Hopefully, since staffing etc. should be better in 2023, at the condo association meeting in December they’ll announce a full slate of MM for next year.
