I disagree when it comes to AK, yes it lacks rides but the details are stunning to me. DHS has always been underdeveloped hopefully they can soon find something with that park. Epcot was once an amazing permanent version of a worlds fair today it's a lot of restaurants and a good fireworks show(my favorite). MK could even use still some more expansion but that park is at least ok for now.
I'll go along with that assessment of AK. It's probably our second favorite park, although it tends to get rated as a half-day park by many many people. Not nearly in need of additional attractions as DHS and Epcot.
Saying the imagineer's budgets are what limit the magic band capability is a bit hard for me to swallow.
We may have a communication issue here. I'm not complaining about the lack of interactivity within the attractions. That's neither here nor there for me. My previous point about attraction build-out was that there was and is a pressing need for additional attraction capacity (i.e. additional rides and shows) in order for FP+ to make sense logistically. Take Epcot for example. Two massively popular attractions and everything else tends to be a 20 minute wait or less. What's the point of Fastpass+ here? Especially when you can only book one of the two rides that it's actually useful on. Money would have been better spent *now* on replacing or rehabbing the multiple attractions inside the Wonders of Life pavilion that has been shuttered for a decade now (or blowing up the whole pavilion to make way for something new). Then, once the aggregate riders per hour has been increased across the park, FP+ makes sense. Same is true for DHS.
By the same token, FP+ works really well in MK, where there is sufficient capacity that ride tiering is not necessary.
