I was not sure how it would work OR if this helps with LONG lines either but at least they are trying SOMETHING different.Honestly, when my young adult kids used FP+ for the 1st time @ WDW they were not so sold on this due to my part of planning for them BUT once they discover that THEY can plan their OWN schedule and could change it when they NEED to...... they LOVED IT !!! Never had to wait more than 10 - 15 minutes on any prearranged ride during our very CROWDED HOLIDAY visits!! So coming back to our home park in DL with our AP's at almost any given time (there are no longer as many slow or off times in DL as a few years ago) to CROWDS sucks!!
This is when DVC became our only advantage to not waiting in long lines - EMH !!

Once again I say with no bitterness " We welcome ANY change Disney offers us !!" Enjoy your day!!![]()
I'm all for reducing long lines. But when WDW added FP to a bunch of other attractions that never had it before, it made those lines move even slower (because FP is prioritized before SB). FP lines continue to move pretty fast, but if you are used to getting 6 or more FPs a day for headliners before, and now you only get 3 (because headliner FPs run out so much faster in an electronic world) then you either 1) wait standby now for 3 of your rides or 2) do less in the course of a day.
We travel to DLR from half way across the country. We can't come back next weekend and pick up what we missed on our trip. We can't even schedule an extra couple days to get more done (since 5 days is the only ticket short of an AP). We have to get done what we want to do in the short time we have. Legacy FP has been a great tool for doing that. If the new system strays very far from what Legacy has been, I'm afraid our Disney days might be behind us. (We defected from WDW when FP+ rolled out).
