Has FastPass+ Made Smugglers Run a zoo?

[CastAStone]

160 minute wait times posted the first day of FP+ at 9:40 AM! I’m curious as to people’s real world Post-FP experiences!

 

[yulilin3]

yes, as expected. There's a live streamer there now and it's crazy. The fp queue was about a 15 min wait, which is pretty normal but they are operating at 90 fp per 10 standby. Or 45 fp to 5 standby

I was thinking about making a similar thread, so I'm glad to see I don't have to! I'll be watching this with morbid fascination over the next few weeks. Mostly I wonder if riding at the end of the night will still be a viable option. I'm expecting MFSR to become like FOP as far as lines go, even though it's not really that great of a ride imo.

At 10:21 AM -

MFSR: 150 min
SDD and TSM both offline
TOT and RnRc both at 130 min
AS2 and ST both at 65 min

I am interested in this aspect as well, as of now, end of the night has been the best time to ride with short waits. The overflow (backstage) queue is currently open for MFSR and the line extends a bit past Oga's

oh.

Well, I guess there's some hope that with SDD and TSM online, waits would be better elsewhere. And add in MMRR next month.

But wow, this sucks.

I have 11 days before booking FP+s. Right now my plan is to do SDD for those who want to ride it. Since I hear standby is better (inside) with MFSR. Right now MFSR wait is 125 and SDD is 150.

where the line is right now for MFSR you will experience about 1 hour outside before heading under roof

I’ve been playing the refresh game today because of the changes. So far I’ve seen SDD once, and otherwise largely muppets, frozen, and occasionally Fantasmic.

 

[yulilin3]

hovering at the 2 hours mark, not bad. Really interested to see wait times tonight. In the evening it goes down to 45 min and lower

 

[DGsAtBLT]

I’ve been waiting at school pick up refreshing, FP+ availability is absolutely terrible. Watching to see what same day MFSR looks like. Still have not seen MFSR even once, or any desirable attraction besides the earlier SDD and ToT now, ToT popped up twice for about 6 PM.

Pre-FP yes but we don’t know yet right?

 

[yulilin3]

right, that's what I'm saying, the evening is usually 45 min or less, we will see tonight how it goes

 

[Iowamomof4]

Pre-FP yes but we don’t know yet right?

Correct. Today is the first day it is operating with fastpass, so it'll take a few days to determine a pattern.

 

[GADisneyDad14]

Zoo? I donno.

With FP+ there are always those it benefits and those it doesn’t. It’s certainly not a zoo for the thousands of people who are flowing through the FP line with a lower wait time. It is more of a zoo for the thousands of people that don’t have a FP. The system giveth and the system taketh away, whether we like it or not.

Just eyeballing the major headliners at noon on a Wed:

7DMT - 160
MFSR - 120
SDD - 140
FoP - 240

Not sure what I expected exactly, but that seems comparable to other headliners. (I will acknowledge that I suspect FP distribution could have been throttled/not maximized for now pending further operational experience with FPs in place)

 

[yulilin3]

I might be able to get some numbers on fps tomorrow, maybe
MFSR is extremely efficient and the CM are striving to hit the numbers every day, so that's good. But yeah, I was expecting longer waits, we should also probably have a better understanding this weekend, as today is not supposed to be a super busy day

 

[etoiles]

Is there a way to find out the single rider wait time?

 

[DavidNYC]

I would expect that MFSR is going to be very much like what FoP is right now (although not quite as long). I'd be pretty confident that end of evening will still be pretty good (but not the near walk on like I had a few weeks ago). As with FoP, once you hit closing, that 90/10 ratio of FP/standby goes to 100% standby so I'd expect the standard long posted time with actual waits at closing to be far less. I think the times we're seeing today are pretty much what I would have expected (although I'm shocked that FoP still regularly hits 4 hour waits - do we have anyone here who has actually gotten on line recently when it's been over a 3 hour posted wait - curious as to whether those are a bit inflated).

 

[Feberin]

It's longer than SDD, which is what I'm most curious about right now. MFSR at 135 and SDD at 120.
