Actually, adding day guests is exactly what is needed. Day guests have already been using it for months. Now it's just more convenient. They can use the app to book FP+ in advance now which means that those long waits at the Kioks should become way shorter.http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/bl...alt-disney-world-resort-hotel-and-day-guests/
Any hope I had in the system is now gone. Adding day guests to the mix is going to make it a nightmare to get reservations.

The addition of day guests being able to book in advance is going to make it harder to get a reservation, and it could possibly affect pass holders who go on short notice.
I agree with you in part here. I think it's needed that they be added to advance reservations with how Disney seems to be running the system because the kiosks have been so backed up and crazy. This should hopefully relieve a lot of that stress. I do agree slots will be filled and harder to get and it'll affect Pass holders most.The addition of day guests being able to book in advance is going to make it harder to get a reservation, and it could possibly affect pass holders who go on short notice.

What I think Disney will eventually end up doing is making this sort of like Universal's Express system. Hotel guests get it as a perk (possibly only Deluxe, maybe moderate) as well as hopefully pass holders (with as much as we pay it better be included). All off-site guests and possibly even Disney value resort guests would have to pay to use the system. This would control it a lot better, make it a much better hotel perk, and also create a steady product that they can say without a doubt is bringing in money due to MM+. It would also make it easier to get reservations, which is better for the consumer.
They are the most loyal customers and they spend a lot more money than are given credit for. Not respecting your most loyal customer in any case is just bad business.I don't know if passholders should be a priority on this system, to be honest. Technically they pay less per day than anyone else.

Disney has a rolling window for Passholders so it's impossible to do this pretty much. You can only book 7 days out. Onsite guests can book 60-days out and off-site guests can book 30-day in advance. By the time passholders get a chance at it, most of the good ones will be gone anyway.Yes, but they also abuse the most systems. Before you know it, they'll be holding reservation times for "just in case" visits and then you'll need a credit card to reserve a FastPass.
If they did do it, I agree with you. All Passholders would not get it. It would be basically Premiere and Premium Passholders. That would give an extra incentive to (help) justify the ever rising cost of both of those passes as well.And you are also fooling yourselves that they will give this perk to passholders, because they won't. It will be a new level of pass just like Uni does. They will also have to have higher priced day passes that include it. I don't see them doing any of this though.
Actually, APs can currently hold 7 days of FP+ at any time within a rolling 30 day window. I already have the Frozen M&G booked for late in the month.Disney has a rolling window for Passholders so it's impossible to do this pretty much. You can only book 7 days out.
