Just finished a six day trip, second visit, first time since FP+, and I had a great time! Now, I'm sure it helped that crowds were pretty good this week, but I loved being able to pre-book my Fastpasses and not have to run all over collecting them. I have to admit that I was a bit nervous about the three FP limit at MK, but I by going early, doing my three FP's from ten to one then adding more in the afternoon I was able to get way more done than on my previous trips. And the parks seemed extra empty from nine to eleven every day. Perhaps lots of people are booking FP's for later then thinking they don't need to show up until their first FP time? I rode ten or twelve big name rides each day in my first two hours at MK! Anyway, I went into this trip with an open mind and now I'm definitely a FP+ fan!
 
I am studying and planning my FP right now! I get to schedule ours on Tuesday!!

I am glad to hear you had a good experience!
 
Glad you liked it!

We had our first experience w/ FP+ in the fall. Before our trip I hated FP+ I thought it was going to ruin our trip and we couldn't ride anything.

Ended up being the most relaxing trip we ever had! The elimination of running around the park collecting paper FP was a huge savings of time and also tiring out our legs.

I do think that's happening.

Glad you had a great time! :goodvibes

We feel the same way
 
I, too, really liked FP+. The system works well with my family. Everyone except me like to sleep in even on vacation. So, I just made our fast pass times for mid morning through early evening. A couple of days, I chose later fast pass times.

It just seems more convenient and adaptable to people's own touring style.
You could hit the parks in the morning ride some rides and wander around. Then go back to the resort and return later with fast pass times.
