I think it’s easier (and makes people happier) to loosen restrictions than make them more strict.I’m just now getting caught up. Perhaps this is obvious and I’m being dense, but what exactly is the reason for the park reservation system opening now for folks so far out (9/26/21)? I knew it would be around for awhile/forever, but figured there would be a smaller window out for the moment. What am I missing? Disney just ripping off the band aid and getting everyone up and running on this new setup?
CorrectI am extremely behind on this, sorry. So to be clear, if I have 3 people on a DVC reservation, 2 have APs and one has no ticket, I can’t make park reservations for all of us and I can’t buy the 3rd person a ticket until some future date, correct?
I think the pp's concern was not about how long the restrictions are needed, but rather about flooding the system with over a year's worth of people making reservations all at once Monday morning rather than rolling this out first for July reservations, then August, etc. System's totally going to be crash city.I think it’s easier (and makes people happier) to loosen restrictions than make them more strict.
So, have strict restrictions in place through summer 2021, and loosen them if possible. That way, people get good news rather than bad news.
Is it linked in your MDE? Resort has to be linked in MDE to be eligible.A resort reservation using DVC points should qualify to make park reservations on Monday, correct? I have an active AP and BW reservation on points in July, but I haven’t received any emails that others have had regarding the park reservation system. Just worried that they don’t consider a DVC points reservation as a resort reservation.

I have DVC points reservation for July and received the email. They definitely count.A resort reservation using DVC points should qualify to make park reservations on Monday, correct?

You should be okay then. I didn't get a ton of the emails others here said they were getting in the last few weeks, but just got one for this update. I think their email list system is glitchy.Yes it’s linked
The future state has park reservations made when you buy a ticket. Right now, though, they have all sorts of tickets already purchased that need park reservations. It was probably complicated enough for them to program it to check for a resort reservation, much less dates, when you include APs. So they are just letting it loose on Monday and it will sort itself out. At least that is what I think.I’m just now getting caught up.

And most people probably aren't even aware they need to make reservations until/unless they get an email from Disney. I still haven't received anything from them.I am going to go out on a limb here and say that once the initial early wave gets their spots, I suspect longer term availability under this system is going to be quite easy. Obviously the devil will be in park capacity numbers, but putting that aside for a second, overall WDW demand outside of us fans that hang around these kind of boards has to be absurdly off right now (IMO), even factoring in pent-up demand and us loyal fans.
Explain, please. Do you really think my guests will get a shot at buying tickets for mid August or should they tell the kids they aren't going to Disney now?I am going to go out on a limb here and say that once the initial early wave gets their spots, I suspect longer term availability under this system is going to be quite easy.

I have read so much info its all running together now, but I thought I read you would be able to buy tickets if you had a resort reservation.Explain, please. Do you really think my guests will get a shot at buying tickets for mid August or should they tell the kids they aren't going to Disney now?
Not for those of us in the summerI have read so much info its all running together now, but I thought I read you would be able to buy tickets if you had a resort reservation.
I don’t think anyone really knows so any feedback would be conjecture. It is so fluid and it really depends on cancellations, Park capacity, etc.Explain, please.
