What the difference between an ADR and a PS?

[Tigger&Belle]

Is it a different name for the same thing? It's been less than a year since I've been at WDW, but it sure seems like a lot of things have changed!

Is there a refresher course for people like me? Magical Express, ADRs, change in AP discounts, etc, etc. All these things have me confused!

It's the same. Just a new name. It went from Priority Seating, to Advance Dining Reservations.

Thanks, danjoan14!

Why does Disney think it's necessary to reinvent the wheel?

Based on stories I've read here where people overhear other guests say to CM who give them the pager after checking in I would guess it was done to help alleviate confusion.

"But I have a priority seating..."
