ok, this is kinda’ cool, but I feel a bit put out as a DVC, AP holder b/c of the difference in investment $$$$. What do you think? I’m just curious b/c so many perks have been eliminated.
Basically, all D+ subscribers get into any park, on either coast, 60 min early on Sept 8th.
I don’t see this so much as a perk for D+ subscribers, but as a means for Disney to try to get people to buy into D+. D+ still isn’t really profitable, and they need to gain a lot more subscribers…so this appears to be a way they are hoping to help that effort (along with other D+ offerings as of late).
It’s one day. If it was a continued thing I think it would be bigger deal, though with the price hike for D+ . The only real good part is adding early entry and D+ to be 60 min.
This is just their way of still trying to make Disney+ day a thing. Last year they gave out hats, a week later there was a box of them and they were begging CM’s to take them!
The whole thing is REALLY confusingly worded on just about every site because they want to push that “Disney+ Subscribers are getting a benefit!” over everything else.
At first I thought it was you had to be in the resort AND be a D+ subscriber to get early entry, but that’s not the case. So it turns out the resort guests are the ones who REALLY benefit here.
The resort guests get their Early Entry 30 minutes before the D+ people who get 30 minutes before the unwashed masses.
So as an example:
8:00 AM - Resort Guests are let in
8:30 AM - D+ Subscribers are let in
9:00 AM - Ewww Normies! (Gross!) are let in
It’s a moderately important perk if you’re going to be there on 9/8
I think it would be a nice perk if you could apply those benefits to at least ANY ONE PARK DAY each year, so that you could use the benefit at a time when you’re actually there.
Because as a D+ subscriber? I just see that I miss out… again.
Edit: everyone should go on 9/8 because I’m certain they are expecting low attendance that day and that’s why they chose it as the next D+ day
