Would you be concerned about the inability to book a reservation if you need to be in specific parks on specific days?
We're planning on going the last week of July with my brother's family (he'll be using the Florida resident $58 per day offer for family of 5, for the 4-day pass). From what I can see on the Disney site that offer does require reservations, so they'll be fine if the parks fill up.
My family was going to do the 4-day/4-park ticket, and we've just booked dining reservations for 9, book BBB for two little girls, etc. We need to be in specific parks on specific days. Not to mention we live out of state, so if we missed a day, we wouldn't be able to just show up again in time to use it within the 7 day window.
On top of this, the way our schedule works with time off work and people wanting to go to Epcot food and wine, we'll need to be at Epcot either Thurs the 27th or Fri the 28th, with the festival starting, could reservations be fully booked to where we're locked out of the park?
I hate to buy 4 full price tickets for 4 days to make sure we can be with the rest of our family, but I have a sinking feeling that is what we need to do.
