Fast pass

Moving to TP community as this is adding nothing to trip planning

I stand corrected. You did not use the word fair, that was my mistake. You are correct that it distributes more evenly. while the new FP has indeed put an end to binge riding, it has also put an end other things. Hopefully they will tweak the system because everybody is paying the price if it's intention was for a target group. I've been going for 30 yrs and I have to say that planning this last trip was the least fun of any of them by far.

I'd be lying if I said I planned anything. Goodness, I'm just glad to wake up each morning and go from there. I don't use the new fastpass system as much because it was just easier for me to get the paper tickets when we were in the parks. Now we just go to the rides with the shortest lines because we enjoy pretty much everything in the parks and if I had remembered to use the online system to reserve some fastpasses we'll use those but many times I'm not really sure what park we might be in on a certain day. We always get annual passes so we can make the reservations ahead of time so I only have myself to blame if I didn't plan the days out as well as I should have.

people may not like the new system but I bet they are putting more people through on fast pass because they have exact per hour riders not like before when people would show up any time after there window. Sure the paper pass was nice and it was n I ce to show up and get them but they never would have been able to get people to show up during there window because they allowed them to show up any time after for far too long.

Now if you know that you can put 500 people through a ride an hour and you give 300 of those to fp+ you can have a little more accurate stand by line times

It also takes a line you used to have to wait in away no longer get do you have to wait in line to get your fast pass
now you stand a chance to get on tsm without having to deal with the stampede at rope drop or what ever the most popular ride in the park is

Now our trip in a few days is my first with fp+ sure it was a little more work
I didn't plan to book at midnight on my first day I just happened to wake up at 2 am

The only one that we didn't get the best time on was for a&e and the only reason we are doing that is for the Dgf nieces we don't care for frozen and don't get the whole craze but then again dgf doesn't have any kids and my son is 18
