I'm not going to lie. Paper fastpass is awesome. I am an aggressive rider. Always having a fastpass for a ride as soon as I can get it. Never standing in standby unless there was no fastpass. Grabbing fastpasses for my favorites multiple times a day. It was the life.
I would probably get 8-10 fastpasses a day. No more of that. I will still go. I will still love disney. My touring style is forcibly changing. It will cause us aggressive riders to standby more. It's gonna be a bitter pill for me and all who tour fast and furious. I guess if you're a slowpoke and ride 4-5 rides a day yeah.....you'll probably love it. I'm a 15-20 ride girl.....well......not anymore .
Same here. Our plans are based completely around fastpasses. The second our window opens, I get a new fastpass.
At MK, 8-10 fastpasses is the norm for us. While my wife stroll from one location to the other, I jog from one side of the park to the other for our passes.
Only having 3 FP's for MK is going to suck. A lot.
I'll be testing the FP+ next month. I'm looking forward to having 3 "bonus" fastpasses on top of what I'd normally pull.
I'm not naive enough to think that the limited testing now is indicative of the future.

"Fair" I hear that ugly word being bantered about as if the current system is unfair.
The current system is as fair as it gets. Everyone gets the same chances on the same day.
Today, ironically, some friends dropped by to ask for some Disney tips, they were going to the first week of September.... two weeks ago as I was about to find out.
They told me about some of what they wanted to do, like CRT and BBB... I asked about their reservations. They said they just cashed in their airline miles and got their flight and wanted to talk to me first about the best times...
I made the best suggestions I could... at least they are going during a lower crowd week.
They would be completely screwed under just a FP+ scenario.
Doesn't anyone here remember what it was like in WDW before the fastpass system?
Going back to that system with 3 fastpasses only? Disney is trying like mad to become Six Flags and I don't waste my time there.
