You can also argue that FP+ was a cut for some people. Soarin' means a lot to me and I went from 2 FP on Epcot day to ZERO because my family prefers TT.
I've been on the boards for many years and since the introduction of FP+ the number of negative and unhappy posts have skyrocketed to the point where the podcast team could no longer give the monthly top 10 threads with the most views because so many were negative, now the team picks the best "Trip planning threads" not the most popular.
A company that was revered for its guest services and guest experiences, that should be a warning sign that the company is not on the right track.
