We moved to St. Augustine, FL last year; and January 1; we purchased annual FL resident passes (whoohoo). It's been a couple of years since we've been to the big D; but just had to complain about something.
*** happened to FastPass? In my opinion; it almost has ruined the WDW experience. FP used to be fantastic. We'd go and grab two different rides; and then just mosey around the 'smaller' attractions... Then as FP was ready; we'd repeat as necessary.
Now? FP is basically worthless. You can only have one FP at a time... and can't get another for 2 hours? This is what happened every time this weekend... Using Hollywood Studious (yesterday) for example...
Run to Rock n Roll.. 60 min wait... Grab FP.. Tower of Terror... 80 min wait... Do everything else until FP was ready... Jump on RnR... done... whoohoo... Now what? Oh... no more FP for RnR or Tower of Terror... ***.... even better? 120 min wait on both.... You've GOT to be kidding me! FP was out for all major rides before we could grab another... No ride is good enough to wait 2 hours in line for.... Argh.
I also noticed there is like a small 30-60 minute gap where wait times drop from 80-120 mins to 20-30 mins... I'm assuming its when there is a lag between FP users. This only lasts about a half hour; so if you don't get it then... yer doomed.
This was the same experience in all parks (we stayed from Saturday through Monday)... Very disappointing.
Maybe it was just a bad weekend for the big D... We also had three separate occasions where the ride 'stopped' for anywhere from 10-20 minutes... (Haunted Mansion, Buzz Lightyear and Stitch).... The worst experience was getting into Hollywood Studios yesterday... we get to the ticketing; and no one was getting through. We waited for nearly 30-minutes... The line behind us went was far as we could see... Crazy.
OK, done griping for the day... Just needed to vent; especially after just shelling out 2400$ for annual passes...
