EE at Disney World, future of it?

[SL6827]

How long before Disney either eliminates EE at DW or restricts it to Deluxe guest only? I have said this before, but with them eliminating it at DL next year, I can forsee it might be sooner than later now.

I mean it makes sense with the Deluxe guest only getting it since I do not believe they will ever build another value or moderate hotel. Am I wrong?

I would take a LL over EE. That just me.

I can’t see them taking it away anytime soon as it spreads out guest arrival times in the parks and honestly, is one of the few perks to staying on Disney property. If they take away too much guests would stay elsewhere and they know that.

A very small percentage of DL guests stay inside so not many qualify anyways. WDW has almost 20,000 guest rooms so ETPE affects a lot more guests.

Isn't it one (1) singular LL over the entire stay? If you never do EE, maybe that's worth it, but if you do EE even once, you're at a loss. On a 10 day trip, that's a substantial loss for those who use it. Not only should it not go away, it should be an hour instead of 30 minutes. There are very, very few advantages to staying on site these days. I have a family member who is meeting us for a future trip and they booked a Disney springs area (Good neighbor? I forget the name) hotel for a hundred bucks a night that gets early entry. I couldn't think of a single reason to convince him to stay at a Disney owned hotel.
