No. I more meant when they do start selling them again. But there were a few AP purchase workarounds for a while between AAA and TicketsAtWork.
Yeah when they do that's an interesting question.

If Disney wants to boost their attendance whenever things get back to normal .. they just drop the prices of all the APs and the uber fans will gobble them up and visit 2-3 times in 2021-2022.
But until then .. I can't see buying/renewing an AP at the current prices. I am looking at going in November .. and I would probably (under normal circumstances) get an AP and go again 2-3 times from Nov. 2020-Nov. 2021 (like I did back in 2018-2019) ... but I just can't see doing that now if restrictions aren't lifted by then.
As a fellow Passholder, I will say that I understand your source of dissatisfaction and I hope/imagine/believe that Disney will be tinkering with the number of reservations available in the different buckets. They need to have enough availability that if a guest arrives at the gate, ready to spend money (you as a Passholder has already spent it), that they can accommodate that day guest. But, they may not need such a big bucket of reservations for the day guests. They will likely be evaluating how many reservations to have available in each bucket.
I would recommend that you contact Passholder Services and let them know that you want that day guest availability to be added to the Passholder side the day before or something like that. But, I don't think arriving without a reservation is a good idea. What is that poor CM at the entrance going to do? They will likely tell you that you need to make a reservation to be able to enter the parks. I was on hold for hours to get my park reservations done. It's not like a non-IT CM can simply give you a reservation.
I will also add to just keep checking if you don't have your 3 reservations already booked. I was able to pick up an AP reservation for tomorrow this morning. I think it was probably just sheer luck of someone dropping it about the same time as I was looking.
I went ahead and canceled one of my 3 days so I could do this, but haven’t had any luck. Even on day one of reservations, 30 minutes before 7am when they supposedly were opening up I kept seeing availability for both parks on the 11th but it never let me book them. They really need to grey out the parks that are unavailable one screen earlier rather than making it look like they are available until you click on it.
Anyway, there’s nothing anyone on here can do about it so I’ll stop. It’s just very depressing to be treated this way, and even more depressing that the consensus seems to be that it’s ok. I wish I could just magically not care about Disney and move on. I’ve got plenty of other APs to other parks I can go to instead, but they just don’t do it for me. I uprooted our lives to move here and at this point my mental health is at an all time low. I just feel like the unluckiest person ever.
This thread moves too fast for me to post much but I don’t think it’s okay to do this to passholders. I’m sure there are many others who feel the same way and haven’t chimed in. I hope you get back to your happy place. Disney is truly a light in a dark time for many of us.I went ahead and canceled one of my 3 days so I could do this, but haven’t had any luck.

Am I the only one that finds these Mickey masks like bone chillingly creepy?
I always think, "Great, now I have to get all new parasites"You don't want to have those Pandoran parasites removed?
It was from someone who has said he doesn't believe in quarantines and is coming from a state under the current mandatory quarantine, so take it with a grain of salt the size of a spoon.We leave on Wednesday so I called the Florida hotline that those in the other threads got their information from. The man I talked to said he had heard of no such talk of any additional state restrictions and he said he thinks if that was gonna happen it would have been done when the tri state restrictions were extended. The only place that I have found any trace of this rumor is in these threads on these boards. Nothing on twitter or any searches of anything discussing additional states being added. Anyone have different sources other than just hearsay in here and the other couple of threads?
Don't read too much into "consensus" here. The Disney Diehards are extremely loud and therefore appear as a much larger percentage than they are IRL - shocking for a Disney Board I know WDW isn't throwing out 35% local and 40% AP discounts cause business is booming.Anyway, there’s nothing anyone on here can do about it so I’ll stop.

They did make a statement right away that it was a mistake and they were working to fix it. Definitely glad Disney sounds like they will work with those who may have incurred any sort of fees from the charges.Well that's something, at least, finally. I'm still really upset that they were careless enough with people's bank account info to let that incident happen in the first place. And it still took them a full week to realize that they should make any kind of statement about taking responsibility for fees their error caused. Ugh.
