They used to allow club level guests to purchase fast passes before others could book and you could bypass the tiers of regular fast passes so I don’t see why not. Especially if they need help filling rooms at a certain level or to increase perceived value of the price point.Do you think at some point, in the future, Disney will ever tier the timing of purchasing Fast Passes, Lighting Lanes, ect. with your hotel level? Or the amount of them you can buy ahead? Will hotel tiers, levels ever come into play?
The CL FP program was actually the pilot for paid passes. So if you took advantage of this pilot you are partly responsible for how Genie+ and now LLMP / LLSP became a thing.pre pandemic CL could purchase an extra 3 FP+ selections per day at I think $50 per person per day with a minimum of 3 days.

Good point.All we can do is speculate, but I don’t think so. Disney already provides an incentive for deluxe guests via 4 extra hours per week. And they have a LOT MORE value and moderate rooms to fill than deluxe rooms.
DCL does. A first time cruiser in concierge gets way more than a person with a 100 cruises under their belt. A person with a 100 cruises get next to nothing.. so anything is better than nothing.Won't they just skip over Hotel tiers and go straight to giving the most profitable guests the highest benefits?
Not so sure blue card DVC members staying on points would get the same level of love as those paying deluxe ratesDeluxe and DVC will get a longer lead time (or the ability to book more LL’s),
You may be right, but I'm talking about how Disney puts DVC resorts in the same overall category as Deluxe resorts. AFAIK, there is no differentiation between blue and white cards when it comes to other "deluxe resort" perks like extended evening hours. The only "blue card"-only perks are specifically related to DVC resorts and not any other kinds of resorts.Not so sure blue card DVC members staying on points would get the same level of love as those paying deluxe rates
It would be a nice perk. However,
there is really no need for Disney to incentivize existing members, we are already committed
It could be a sales tool to try to sweeten the pot for people to buy DVC direct but, perks are never guaranteed to continue
Close. Everyone could book their three FPs at 180 days. If you were staying club level, then at 90 days you had the option of purchasing three more at $50 per person per day. We did it a few times and found that it wasn’t really worth it. You still could only choose what was available; they couldn’t make rides and ideal times magically appear. Once booked, you could not modify the extra three FP unless done by CL CMs. I would always try to book the extras later in the day (usually this was when there’d be availability for the desirable rides), and there were several times that our plans changed, and that money was wasted. I get that this is still pay to play, but it really wasn’t all that great, imo.They used to allow club level guests to purchase fast passes before others could book and you could bypass the tiers of regular fast passes so I don’t see why not.
