In the way distant past a Disney resort & ticket package included length of stay tickets for the entire trip that matched your number of resort nights. For new MYW packages as of Oct. 16 this is reverting back to length of stay for ticket validity, but at least you can choose fewer park days than resort nights. But some travel dates will not only have higher resort room rates but now higher park prices too, won't say I didn't see this coming.
It does prevent us from booking for example a FD package and using those package tickets later for anything but applying the value of the tickets to a currently priced and dated ticket for our chosen dates. At least that's how I read it for packages.
The real headaches are for people who purchase tickets and resort stays separately or stay off site and might not know their park dates yet. Now that flexibility to choose dates later will come with an extra cost. Adding the "flex" cost together with date specific pricing can be a significant ticket price increase.
