The Blu card, perks and related resale restrictions were an idea by Ken Potrok. They've been continued by other executives, but it seems to me it's losing some steam. I hope to be wrong, but it's very much possible perks will become fewer and most never come back. Resale restrictions on point usage will be what really make a difference between direct and resale.
I don't think the Soarin' tour will come back. And I'm not holding my breath for Moonlight Magic either.
