I'm actually excited about the change, as it suits our travel style a little better. I used to have a commando touring style, but my hubby wasn't a big Disney fan, so for our first trip, I planned it to suit his interests more. We dined almost exclusively in restaurants and took long afternoon breaks. He doesn't like getting up early, but he understands that's when lines are the lowest, so we get there at rope drop to minimize wait times. Usually we do rope drop, stay until an early lunch, take a long break, and return for dinner and a few rides and/or fireworks. We didn't park hop, though always bought a hopper to keep the option open. Since the change in with fast passes (having to show up within the window), our use went down pretty drastically.
Now, I think we'll get to a park at rope drop and tour the way we used to. After our afternoon break, we'll go to a different park and make use of our fast passes. Or we'll use one fast pass before leaving the park for our break and then return to the park for our last 2. I think we'll get just as much done, if not more, than we used to. We like a slow, relaxing touring style and I'm actually glad I've dropped my commando ways. I enjoy myself more now.
