Is Disneyland really not using the FP+ system yet?
Wow ... I was shocked when I went the MDE to register our passes and couldn't find anything for Disneyland Any word on when they might implement the system? So not using magic bands either I take it?
Thank you!
I think it's great once you actually get used to it. You don't use your phone at all when you're in the park; everything is done ahead of time. I guess it's all what you're used to and the attitude you have toward changeHoping that it NEVER arrives. I haven't been back to WDW since they implemented FP+. It's bad enough you have to book dining 6 months out. But we Disneylanders like to walk into the park and then decide where to go. The last thing I want to do is pre-plan rides. The next to last thing I want to do is walk into DL and the first thing I do is look down at my phone so I can start booking FPs for rides. It steals from the visual experience and it will cause a huge glut of people doing the same thing when they walk in.
Vote no for DL FP+.

you actually CAN do that. After your initial 3 FP's, it works just the same as the FP system at DLR.I use way more than 3 FPs a day, and love to pull FPs for re-rides. I can't do that with FP+.

But see, that's my problem. Then I have to look at my phone and see what's available, full of angst to see if there's anything left for Splash or Big Thunder or whatever.
And if they don't let you pick in advance but have you wait until you get there, then you just start looking at your phone to get a bunch of FPs. That's totally messing with the DL vibe. There's a lot that WDW has that DL doesn't, but DL has a vibe that you can't reproduce in FL...especially with all the pre-planning. The system works just fine at DL - leave it alone.
Ugh. I'm getting anxious just talking about it.
You can't use your phone to book any FP's at WDW. The 4th FP+ and beyond has to be booked at kiosk within the park. I don't think Disney wants anyone staring at their phones while in their parks - I agree - it totally takes away from the experience.
I get your anxiousness , I was that way at first ... until I got used to the system. Then is was fabulous!
