Disneyland Paris launches "Premier Access Ultimate" - could this work in WDW?

I said this in another thread but truthfully I would pay for this if it meant not having to deal with the competitive aspect of Genie+ (as in not having to try to book 1 LL with thousands of other guests at 7 am). If a pass like this included the Individual Lightning Lanes like Rise and FOP, then yeah I definitely would. But I'm also a single person that doesn't plan on having kids. The price per day for this would be insane for larger parties and/or families with multiple kids.

I would also most likely go WAY less often, make my trips shorter and supplement those days with Universal and other activities in Orlando. I do think people would buy this due to the fact that people are more than willing to pay for the VIP tours and those tours book up very fast. I'm unsure if this will ever come to WDW due to Disneyland Paris being way different in scale but we'll see what happens. Paris was the first to get a Lightning Lane system and now the US parks have that too.

I do wonder if something like this would potentially work because you could make your trip shorter and save on hotel stays, food, time, etc - or like you mentioned, go somewhere else.

I did a quick calculation - and if you were staying at a value resort at ~$200 per night, and you shortened your trip from 7 days to 4 days, it would not save enough for a family of 4 to pay the $100 per person per day for 4 days. But if you stayed at a deluxe hotel at $600 per night, it would be worth it.

The advantage to Disney is higher number of guests visiting. I'm sure Disney has some data on things like once in a lifetime guests / once in awhile guests will normally do lets say 1-2 sit down meals, buy $200 of merchandise (just hypothetical examples) and if they could shorten their trip from 7 days to 4 days, they would still get that same revenue, but turnover to another guest that would spend the same and- they could plus up their restaurant and merchandise sales by a certain amount.

All hypothetical of course since a system like this isn't at WDW, but it is fun to think about
