The last trip my fiancee and I took in June, she was determined to be a Galactic Hero at Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin. We decided to take advantage of the 4th fast pass and skipped about a 20 minute wait. The first couple of times she, unfortunately, did not reach her goal. We were getting the FP as soon as we exited the ride for 5 minutes later. We must have rode about 5 or 6 times in a row, all using bonus fastpasses and all skipping a pretty healthy line (the line wasn't out the door, but it was definitely a full queue inside the building).
I never really used the old system (our family vacations mostly consisted of trying to figure out a compromise for 15 people as opposed to actually doing anything). The first solo trip I did was just as FP+ was in "beta" so I got to "test it out" before it was officially a thing. I guess I don't know any different.
Also, during our
Disneyland trip back in 2015, I can say that I wasn't a fan of the paper fastpasses. Getting to the park early to get in line for the Radiator Springs Racers FP was just a drag.
Guessing you meant you wouldn't go Fri or Sat???
