I have heard rumor (from Alicia Stella) that APs may be given a discount at opening.Don't take this the wrong way, but I really hope you're wrong.

I would think the motive to limit access would make the park less crowded at the open, but given how far away it is from the other two parks, that issue might play out differently.

Did I once hear US was also looking at park reservations?
Maybe that's the answer. AP bucket could be limited access when necessary.
And wide open if they have more room than they thought, and beer getting warm.
Federal Judge Allen Winsor has dismissed Walt Disney Parks and Resort's lawsuit against the Florida Governor and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District, stating that it lacks adequate evidence and doesn’t meet legal standards for a lawsuit.
You can read more about the decision to dismiss, including the 17-page ruling, on our site:

This is it. It will not be a free for all to just go to Epic. Interested to see the creative tactics used to spread out crowds to all 3 parks.I just don't think they are going to have the room the first year. It's going to be crowded and slammed. Day tickets for specific dates are basically the same as park reservations.
Yep. Politics is getting scary. More and more people on both sides seem way too interested in manipulating the system for their own benefit. I fear for my granchildre.Only need to look up the Judge to see why. This isn't the end of this.

If you’re craving a little heat with your sweet, then the Eternal Flame cookie is sure to ignite your taste buds. This velvety chocolate cookie is infused with Gideon’s special in-house spice mix of ancho, cayenne, and cinnamon, with a magical essence of cherry. Topped with chocolate-covered cherries, this cookie offers a deep chocolate flavor followed by a tingling warmth reminiscent of a first kiss. With a heat level rated as medium, it’s the perfect balance of sweet and spicy.

But the sweetness doesn’t stop there! Gideon’s also brings back their Fire & Iced Coffee, featuring a mocha nitro cold brew with a touch of heat. It’s the perfect pick-me-up for those chilly February days at Disney Springs.

For cake lovers, the new Strawberry Cream Cake is a must-try. Three layers of incredibly soft strawberry cake are sandwiched with luscious strawberry buttercream and accented with chocolate ganache. Topped with a chocolate-covered cherry, each slice is a delightful combination of fruity and chocolatey goodness.
These delectable treats are available at both Gideon’s locations throughout February, but hurry – supplies are limited each day, with a limit of two treats per person.
And that’s not all! Stay tuned for more exciting merchandise and desserts as the month unfolds at Gideon’s Bakehouse. Keep your eyes peeled for more delicious surprises coming your way!
