Interesting. Now to wait and see if this is an upcoming improvement, or just another glitch. A fourth one would be great news. I still don't think three are enough.

WDW are officially trialling this over the next few days in MK and I think a few other parks - AK (I apologise I read the article earlier this am and I can't recall what it said now! ). No plans (as yet) to continue after Spring Break, officially anyway.

I think WDW realise that FP+ has a way to go before it's an ultimate 'experience'. But this shows that they are still working on it and it's a positive step forward!

One of the biggest bug bears I have read about the system is that once you have used all 3 FPs, the queues at the kiosks to get a 4th tend to be very long! If you do decide to stand there, you are often disappointed with the choice. The implementation of a 4th FP would eliminate some of this. And, I think, for those of us who just do half days (say rope drop to lunch), the 4 FPs may be enough to fill that whole time, including a little bit of sight-seeing as you go!

Now, they just need to work on prebooking of park hop rides.

I still think the pre-booking system is a fail for most guests.

We found that the wait time at a kiosk for an additional FP was better spent waiting in line for a ride we actually wanted to go on. Getting four at the outset would be in improvement. I don't think it fixes what they broke with the new system, but it certainly goes a little way to help it. That said, it's just more time you have to spend faffing online before your trip.

This would be great!

Off topic slightly, but do you have to go to kiosks for 4th or can you do it on the MDE App?

You had to go to the fp+ stations at the park you wanted it for! when I was there in August 14. This was poor if you were changing parks.

I do hope we get 4

The test is/was allowing four to be booked on line in advance. The regular system is three on line in advance then fourth and subsequent FPP at a park kiosk only for the park you are currently in. I've used the new system twice now and it is growing on me but it took me two trips to realise its best potential for us. If they up it to four in advance as the norm it will push the new system into an improved one for me personally. PP who said four rides would fill half a day with sightseeing. Not really. If you do rope drop and plan properly you can do four rides in the first hour without any FP at all

I meant excluding any rides you may get done at rope drop or during an EMH! More of a mid morning thing when crowds start to increase and queues start to build.
