Just having fun thinking out loud.Don't go wishing for something that you aren't clear on how it works !!.....
"ticket books" were AWFUL !! It was so nice when they were ended ! they really were a waste and quite limiting. Today they would end up being mighty expensive.
The reality is that we're well into the computer age where Disney can predict capacity and attendance with at least as much accuracy as "Touring Plans".
So instead of the relatively static blockout days from the old APs, I agree with all of the online news sources that believe the new program will be reservation based and more "flexible". The real question is what kind of value will it have compared to current ticket offerings?
We all wonder whether the days of "hanging out" at Disneyland may have come to an end?
