Magic Mornings - How many tickets

[HopperFan]

Could be. Or could just be a random number that someone made up and now people are using it as what's real.

Well all the numbers are just made up, Disney isn't going to tell.

But I do think the rumble was that number for night, much much smaller number for morning.

I've seen the number 5000 batted around A LOT on the Facebook pages. Take it with a grain of salt, but that sounds like a Disney type of number for what they consider low crowds.

I just can't see anything close to that, mainly due to the breakfast part.

If you go by what is posted on Disney's website (which I know can be inaccurate, but is the only thing we have at this point), breakfast is served from 8:30 to 10:00. That is 90 minutes of breakfast in a restaurant that seats about 400 people. Even if they think they can turn that every seat in that restaurant every 30 minutes (which would be magical, in and of itself) that only leaves enough room for 1,200 people.

Although we will never know for sure, my guess is that they will sell somewhere around 1,000 tickets a day.

The breakfast runs up to 10:00, they should be able to get more in than that. You have to reserve a time, people could be seated up to 10:00.

I can't wait to see how this turns out, I think they are setting expectations too high.

I have not seen where you have to reserve a time to eat. When I have looking into buying tickets for the days we go (still undecided), the only "time" option you are given is 7:45 am. I think this is a come-and-go breakfast, not one where you have to eat at a reserved time.

I checked every date available yesterday at one point, including May 7th for one person and they all showed as unavailable. I don't remember the exact time.

Well, to be honest I've had the same thing happen with regular dining reservations. We all know how glitchy MDE is. I do not believe it sold out in a few hours and then they put more out there just because it sold out fast.

I think they're hoping a lot of people don't take advantage of the breakfast part. I can't really see people paying this to ride Pooh so it's really cramming the crowd into two rides and then hoping when the park opens they go somewhere else.

I can see some people not eating a full breakfast for this even, just grabbing something small and taking it with them. I think one of the hidden numbers here is Disney hoping to get people to stop booking other pre opening reservations and just not getting full breakfast to book this event then use those sets to get people in that will spend more money. But what do I know.

When I saw the time dropdown, I assumed you picked a time. That could be even more of a disaster, people are going to want to eat after riding. I can't see that much of a profit margin with a small number of tickets.

I just don't get it--now once again families are paying ridiculous prices for something that use to be free ( without the breakfast -of course) for anyone that stayed at a Disney Resort. Crazy!!

I'm thinking Pooh will mostly be used by families with a child that doesn't meet the 7DMT ride height.

 

[PrincessWithABlaster]

That was my experience as well.

Yep. May 7th was showing as unavailable for me too.

 

[scrapquitler]

From what I've seen, it's already sold out for every morning it's offered.

Some have said that the restaurant's capacity is 400. I would assume they would cap it at 1.5x's that capacity, factoring in attrition.

I just talked to a CM on the phone tonight when I was buying other tickets, and I was told that the sold out thing was a computer glitch and that tickets ARE still available.

I never implied I believed that either. In fact, I think it had to be a computer problem for every date to show as sold out.

Still "free" This is something different.
