Hello! Hopefully this is the right spot to ask this question-
My family and I will be in WDW April 15-21. We are staying onsite and have 4 day park hoppers. We have already picked which days we will be in the parks and made reservations for those parks. We did NOT buy G+ though, because after reading through everyone's experiences on here and a few other reviews elsewhere, we decided it wasn't worth it for certain parks (EPCOT and AK, mainly). We decided to buy separately for DHS and MK, which my understanding cannot be done in advance, only day of. Which is fine. We have no issue with that because the cost savings for this family of 5 not buying G+ for 2 days ($160!) is worth the hassle of having to buy each of those 2 other days. However, as I was making my final payment to my
travel agent yesterday and asking her to add Memory Maker, I mentioned that the cost savings for that was worth buying in advance, unlike G+ which we decided to buy day of for only certain parks. She advised me that with the recent changes to G+ (not allowing advance purchase to one day tickets holders and APs ), she was anticipating that they may start limiting day of G+ purchases on certain busy days, presumably as a line control method, and by not buying in advance for my entire trip, I was risking G+ being sold out for day of purchases on the days I wanted. She had no specific basis for this concern, only that it was her best educated guess given her experience.
Anyone have insight into this? Or does anyone else have a similar concern? I really don't want to pay $160 if I don't have to. That's a sitdown meal somewhere. But, I'll pay it if there is a chance I won't be able to get G+ on the two days I want it. Though, the recent comments about having to pay the ticket price increase when adding G+ in advance to already booked packages is giving me some pause. But, one issue at a time...
