Every day will be like that debacle "Villains Day" from a couple of years ago. Too many cars for the parking lot, even with the small parking expansion. Way too many people for the still very few rides that will be in the "Park With No Name". There we go, that's a name idea. Certainly better than those other choices.
The parking expansion is by no means small. When all is said and done, parking will roughly be doubled at DHS.
Betting the fastpass plus system changes dramatically by then, and not for the better. Be prepared to pay, especially if not staying on site. No inside info, just a good guess.
That goes against the reason for fastpass which is to get people standing in line less so they have more time to spend money in the parks.

I'm all for paying for fast passes, I hate socialist the FP+ system. Will gladly pay to skip all you fools
It didn't really keep people out of the lines and in the shops since the Stand By lines, on rides that used to be walk ons, increased dramatically. Touring Plans had some good studies on that. And, even though Next Gen/MY Magic & FP+ originally had projections of increasing spending dramatically, when Iger was questioned about the effects at financial meetings, he could never quantify any number, and after a few meetings, just started ignoring answering the question.
Arguing a park charging more for priority rides is a good thing is rediculous. Original fast pass was most liked by those who could best take advantage of it. It worked FOR YOU because not everyone got them. Past pass plus makes passes easier to obtain without running around for the AVERAGE guest. It spreads out crowds across rides.
Not necessarily a fan of this. Just being realistic of what seems to be happening in the not too distant future. The signs are there. And GESWL crowds/demand will present significant obstacles to the present free FP system. It seems Disneyland Max Pass FP is a test. Demand there has been huge, so much so that Disney Insiders are predicting an increase of two to three times the present price by the end of the year. Disney has been aggressively looking for new revenue. And Next Gen/My Magic/FP+ did not deliver the economic benefits Disney expected when they spent a couple billion on the system. Lots of high level Execs lost their jobs mostly over that one....Plus the recent FP+ cheating scandal probably didn't help matters either.....Probably the worst though, is that people(myself included) were just finally getting accustomed to FP+ , and now in a couple of years, we'll have to learn a changed/or new system all over again.
