The thing is, walking works now because as you’ve said, some make the choice not to walk, but what happens when Disney changes nothing and everyone is forced to walk? We just get into a ridiculous situation where you’re then forced to walk earlier and earlier? So I have to plan my trip 2 years in advance now? Adjusting my booking every 2-3 days and if I miss one time, I lose my 2 year advance opportunity? When does it stop working for “everyone” as many people keep saying it does now. I’ve personally never been told about waking by a guide and I’ve asked about it too. So some get told about walking some don’t but we’re all told about our 11mo priority window. That continues to be the fairest situation where everyone is aware of the rules.
There are more and more dates and periods of time that walking has become a necessity. That is only going to increase as we’re all forced to walk to get the dates we want, potentially blocking another persons booking date and so those people might start walking now to also sure they don’t get blocked, even if it’s temporarily. I agree changing it so owners are penalized for too many modifications is not the answer but saying not to change anything isn’t an answer either.
What if instead of curbing the amount of changes why not just delay when you can change. Between every modification you have to wait 24hrs?
