End of Park Reservations?

[Mischievous Daisy]

Just saw this on FB, (I know, not the most correct news!) can anyone speak to this rumor? There were a lot of comments about others hearing the same!

"Hello! This morning a Cast Member told us that they are doing away with the park reservation system after Labor Day. That’s doesn’t sound right to me. What do you think?"
TIA

Does not sound right at all

 

[Suzabella]

I'll believe it when it happens. And maybe not even then.

I hope it is more than just a rumor.

Sounds like a castmember in a not so magical mood .

 

[Llama mama]

They would have announced it already; folks with plans to visit after this weekend still need to do park reservations on the website.

I would not consider anything posted by some anonymous user on FB to be valid information/news. A random Disney worker is unlikely to know about such changes before management and/or official public announcements about such things. Disney is probably like many large companies where there is a LARGE office 'grapevine' that lower level people enjoy being involved with.

Disney has spent 15 plus years in development and spent BILLIONS $ .
Every leader ship meeting , it is confirmed they love program.

The payoff in predictive staffing is way too high. They aren’t going anywhere. Management has already said as much.

I was pretty shocked when I read it, then I thought instead of stopping park ressies on Labor Day, maybe they were planning an announcement. This particular poster was not the only person whe said they heard that rumor. However, I'll just wait until an announcement (or not) comes out, lol.
Gotta love those FB rumors spread as fact!

Have to say, just found these emojis and I am quite enamored!

 

[mdguy429]

Looking forward to the site that shall not be named picking up this thread and reporting it as fact!

 

[SealedSeven]

I can see it happening. They never did say they meant this upcoming Labor Day...

Well, once one person says it, the rest have "heard the rumor".

Speaking of park pass reservations…
it is showing N/A for 12/29, 30, and 31 for guests without hotel reservations.
Hoping that is a mistake .
Maybe just a glitch because the N/A was also showing for the remaining Halloween Parties .

Which I think is extremely odd knowing that their traditional attendance projections were almost always spot on, so there's no real increased benefit to reservations when it comes to staffing.

It's a glitch.. I had trouble making reservations for those days a few weeks ago
I think I went in and clicked a week or 2 earlier then went back and chose the days I wanted
If anyone thinks disneynis going to do away with park reservations is in fantasy world...
It's a win win for them.. Disney loves data
The park reservations allow them to steer folks to parks that may be a little slower on peak days
They don't want us standing in lines for rides for hours as we aren't spending our hard earned dollars on over priced disney merchandise

It's all about maximizing profits and having the minimum staff needed daily.

It’s not so much about knowing when it will be busy as it’s about knowing when that odd low crowd day is coming so they can cut staff.
