When did this thread turn into speculating about all the ways Disney could have done this better?
Okay, I'm in! (Even though admittedly I'm not the WDW expert many of you are.)
Disclaimer: If you just arrived at this thread, you should ignore this post. It's not, not, NOT, the FP+ plan as anyone knows it to be or rumors it to be...
1. Add 1 new e-ticket attraction each at MK & AK.
Just 1? For the size and scope of the park, how about 5 or 6. To begin with, how about replace Kali and the entire county fair area.
In the case of HS, add a couple more tame family oriented rides (I just
How about replace about 1/3 of the existing attractions.

it needs them lol.) For EPCOT, the new country, and update Soarin' and other attractions. It could use another E-ticket, but I'm not sure what or where, so maybe give WDI a crack at it.
2. Allow only 1 FP per ride per day per ticket. Also only 1 FP at a time.
3. Same day FP only (no 60 day stuff). But for any park. Subject to #2 above.
4. If it's desirable to better disperse the guests around, make every ticket a hopper (but not at current hopper prices, nobody would fall for that trick.) Undo some of the FP+ damage by advertising this new perk!
It would have been much easier to do what Six Flags does and sell a Fast, Fast Pass for all of the attractions. Open up a third line, and keep the old FP system how it is.
Joe Newbie Sixpack is happy that he can hop for free! He spends more time on transportation and finding his way through the parks. Voila! Less ride capacity needed. More bus capacity perhaps, but oh well.
Teen Dream Machine, who luckily for my scenario also never tried the old FP or hopping, wants to hop too! Teen gets to hop about parks and ride every single e-ticket! (Man, another bus ride!But at least instead of filling up SB for his fifth ToT ride he's off on his way to EE!)
Super Dis Man (gosh I hope that's not a real user name) rides headliners at his favorite park at RD as usual and FPs his repeat ride of his favorites or whatever he didn't get to early enough to get on in under 20 minutes. He's still mad about losing old all day FP, but at least they pulled FP+ off the table. And he's saving a bit by not having to buy the hopper. He will grumble about the $15 ticket price rise this year, and realizes that cuts into his hopper savings, but at least they pulled FP+ off the table.
So basically, with my plan, bus capacity becomes part of the overall ride capacity.Well, okay, but that seems about as good to me as the FP+ rumors and news I've heard so far.
Everything else is okay.
. not Me! I am not falling for that one. So much for the rumor that a new land is going to put there soon.
